Exactly. Here is how G.K. Chesterton put it——and he lived at the time of the Satanic George Bernard Shaw and all the Eugenicists/ Malthusians/ Postmodernists.
“...I have remarked that the materialist, like the madman, is in prison; in the prison of one thought. These people seemed to think it singularly inspiring to keep on saying that the prison was very large. The size of this scientific universe gave one no novelty, no relief. The Cosmos went on for ever, but not in the wildest constellation could there be really anything really interesting; anything, for instance, as forgiveness or Free Will. The grandeur or infinity of the secret of its cosmos added nothing to it...........nothing to show us but more and more infinite corridors of space lit by ghastly suns and empty of all that is divine.” p.86 Orthodoxy
