Can the world live in 7th and 21st centuries at the same time?

The position in the world today, reminds us of the profound words of Abraham Lincoln on 16th June 1858. viz. “A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently, half slave and half free”.

Presently, the world is in the same situation as the USA was in Lincoln’s time. Half of the world is stuck in the 7th century closed mind and the other half in the 21st century with gender equality and open mind to explore life, existence and physical reality.

We hear from Hollande, Obama, Putin, and many other leaders that they will eliminate closed minded groups like IS, Boko Haram, El Qaeda, etc. and will make the world free from terror. Unfortunately, our leaders cannot see the reality or do not want to see it.

Will the leaders tackle the parents? We, mere mortals, have to await our leaders’ possible enlightenment about reality. We will see either humanity will end up to live permanently in the 7th century without the inquiring mind and without the gender equality or in 21st century and beyond where it preserves human dignity, continues to search for the Higgs Boson to establish the roots of our physical universe and proceeds in search of intelligent life on other planets in our Milky Way galaxy.
