What is really bad it is the ambition, self gratification,expectation of rewards and celebrity of some individuals in these matters.
The totallity of culture is divine otherwise...
Science is as divine as religion?
If by that you mean that religion isn't divine, then so be it. Religion isn't divine. If God exists (and I'm not sure on the matter), I guess He would be divine, but religion? No. Religion itself can never be divine, only the god at the top of its hierarchy.
Quote:Rex,hello
I would not agree with you,in this statement that science is superior to religion or more divine.
Major religeous scriptures and their secret keys have been codified and hidden from the mass of men,and young souls capable of misusing too many power which pours from an uncontrolled knowledge.
Actually, no. People only see patterns hidden in the scriptures because human brains are trained to see patterns.
Take this grid, for example,
Look at it. Sure, it's not hard to see the obvious pattern there, but if you look long enough you'll start seeing other patterns. Your brain will start grouping things into columns or rows, or you might tend to notice groups of four squares more than others.
It is the same with the religious texts, especially the Hebrew religious texts because of the dualistic nature of their alphabet (the letters being able to stand for numbers).
Quote:Science as practiced now by scientists is nothing less but discovering something that already exists and have been existed since the very beggining of life.
Yes it is.
Quote:They say they discover new "truths"...I say to those people:Pride and lie!
No one ever says they discover new truths. They say they have new discoveries, which means, they have discovered something new to the collective knowledge of mankind.
That's why it's called a discovery, because they find it and uncover the mystery behind it.
Quote:Truth has not a beggining nor an end!
What really happens in their mind let me assure you is that they discover a new formula better than the previous one when the previous one is not dead in totallity...They discover their own past ignorence!
This is not omniscience nor the right method to aquire it!
Only pure minds and hearts can aquire it.This is called divine wisdom. :wink:
Pure minds would be a true scientific mind, one that is open to all suggestions, yet equally sceptical about them. A pure mind would be first one that accepted an idea, then thought about it and tried to prove it correct or false without any bias.
No one seeks to be omniscient. Science is such a vast field that even in something as simple as molecular biology, there are subdivisions and specialisation. No one scientist can know everything about everything in the field of molecular biology. It is impossible.
You say they discover their past ignorance. True.
However, your post seems to me filled with ignorance about science in general and even evolution in general.
In evolution, if something is superior, it will have a unique advantage over the inferior ones. Those that are inferior would thus have more difficulty surviving and would be wiped out.
Hence, thanks to natural selection, there should be no such thing as superior or inferior in nature.
You may argue that that isn't the case and provide the case study of red squirrels and grey squirrels.
Red squirrels were native to the British Isles, but ever since the introduction of the grey squirrel, their numbers have dwindled. They were inferior to the grey squirrel, which was larger and more capable of finding food than its red counterpart.
They were nearly wiped out.
Red squirrels now exist only in areas where the grey squirrels cannot go. Therefore in these areas, it is the red squirrel that is "superior".
