A Fundamental Change Has Occurred in Civilization

One of the Fundamentals of Civilization has changed and will continue
to change in the same direction it is now changing. Or, a better way
to say it: a new Fundamental has been placed in Civilization's
Foundation.

In recent millenia, Civilization has always needed Military/Police
(for survival), a Rational System of Laws, Justice and Penalization,
good Education, good Leadership, Morality, and possibly one can name
some other Fundamentals. A NEW FUNDAMENTAL now sits in the Foundation
on which civilization rests:

Science and Technology!

I need to brief, but, whether from an Evolutionist/Agnostic/Humanist/
(A/E/H) worldview, or for from a Biblical worldview, one can see that
Science and Technology have now become as vital to civilization as the
other fundamentals. This new fundamental is only going to increase in
importance as history progresses.

Those societies that lead in SciTech are going to lead in all other
ways. This will get more and more true and obvious as time passes.
From a Biblical worldview, SciTech does not catch God by surprise.
Instead, it is part of His Plan of History.

This is why I press for making basic SciTech R&D, including Space
Exploration, as sizable a part of the U.S. federal budget ASAP.
Understanding the current problem of budget, nevertheless, I say that
in the long run, Sci/Tech/Space (Sci/Tech includes Energy Research,
as well as basic research such as basic Physics research being done
with colliders, etc), should become a significantly larger, PERMANENT
part of the budget: maybe even up to around 15%.
