Bleek writes that Theology's nature is uncertain and esoteric, and disharmony arises from incompatible diversity. In contrast, the sciences are formulaic, rational, and ultimately discernible to all. Universal truths provide certainty that trivialises a difference in method so long as the outcomes are equally desirable. Positive outcomes reinforce a common approach and engender harmony. Theology does not provide the same unanimous satisfaction. Religion belongs to individual self-consciousness, apart from the rational mind, and is palimpsestuous (intertextual) and palimpsestic (layered) because each person superimposes unique associations over the general meaning of the words in scripture. The core data of agricultural science, its first principles, is indisputable, unlike theology. How can the imperfect languages of imperfect beings describe the perfection of divinity or Divine Nature? However, science is knowable and articulable with human languages. To that end, agricultural shows promote knowledge sharing that unifies farmers as the most indispensable colonial class.
