this entry is gonna be about a perpestive i got from this book called angels and demon and i tot i would just like to share this with whoever is reading this entry.
science has created loads of miracles, it has provided us with entertainment and conveinence.
but science has also robbed us of wonders.
sunsets has been reduced into a massive cogulation of wavelengths and frequencies.
the complexicity of the universes has been shredded into mathematical equations.
even the very reason that we are here has been destroyed by science, saying that we are just a cosmic accident of the universe, thats why we are alive.
the technology that promises to bind us, in turn divided us, haven we felt more alone?
with our advancement, technology has breed violence, divison, fracture and betrayal.
skeptism has became a virtue. isnt it sad it?
our cynical mindsets and demand for proof has left us more depressed and defeated then we tot.
quote from the book, " does science hold anything sacred? science looks for answers by probing our unborn fetuses. science even presume to rearrange our own DNA. It shatters GOd's world into smaller and smaller pieces in quest of meaning... and all it finds is more questions"
ppl think tt science is the new religion but i tot it had not provided us with any answers, it just oriented us, giving us hope in the truth, which science has explored to give only more and more questions.
science is growing exponentially... from thousands of years, man evolved from wheel to car, and only decades from car into space. now, scientific progresses in weeks now.. are we not spinning out of control?
we now end up with a spiritual void in our heart, we are crying out for meaning with all this questions. we believe so much in technology that we now find it very hard to accept anything that is removed from technology.
science, need religion. because, religions are signpost of what technology gives us. technology is is thou powerful, but also cruel. technology offers power without moral judgement, like as if a father whom teaches his child to create fire, without telling his child what are the dangers and how it should be used properly. haven we burnt our fingers too many times already?
ppl say religion has been ignorant, but if u ask urself, who is the real ignorant one? the man whom cannot define lightening? or the man whom does not respect its awesome power?
LAST 2 PARAGRAPHS
what i am trying to say is,,
everytime, ppl look at science, they look at the microscope, they look thru the telescope, and they ask, where is God?
i say, isnt it obvious that God is right before your eyes?
they say universe or earth was created by the slight change in weight of an atom, so cant you see that it might actually had been God's planning? how can we be so lucky to chose the right card from a deck of billions?
we have become pathetically spiritual drained souls that many of us rather believe in mathematical impossibility than to entrust our hopes in a power greater than us.
last paragraph.
if we abandon our trust in a power greater than us, we as a species abandoned our sense of accountability. that accountability is faith. faith is something we cannot understand, yet something that we are accountable for. it is something that we are accountable for each other, ourselves, and to a higher truth.religion maybe be flawed, but i think thats because we as Man are flawed.
think about it. =)
