Is science a matter of faith? By Maharshi MahaManas
Science is the systematic process of arriving at the truth or uncovering mysteries or creating something new through experiments based on logic-evidence and judgment-analysis. And the special knowledge and discoveries produced through that process are also called science or the endowment of science. This knowledge is constantly being refined, refined and amplified, unseen by the common man.
A very limited number of people are dedicated to the pursuit of science, and their hard-earned knowledge and discoveries are enjoyed by the general public. Even the superstitious people who are immersed in the darkness of ignorance are proud to call themselves advanced in knowledge and science. People with low consciousness lack both effort and ability to comprehend. They are unwilling to work hard to acquire knowledge, so the path of faith is the easiest path for them. One don't have to work hard to believe.
Like religion and other things, many people today have blind faith in science. Believing the words of Science workers and scientists, the science media, and those who commercialize science has become science-mindedness or Scientific mindset.
Now the question is, how reliable are their words! The system called science itself does not do or say anything. Everything is done by humans. And one does not become a great person just by working with science. so, Is it scientific to believe them in the name of science?
If you search, you will see that many of them are blind believers superstitious even though they practice science. And many have sold their heads to some narrow self-interested forces. They are working as puppets of those evil forces. Yet in science there is lobbying, factionalism, hatred, cruelty, sabotage and vandalism.
If investigated, it will be seen that many amazing discoveries have remained undisclosed due to the conspiracy of those self-interested people. Many honest scientists had to die in the conspiracy of those evil forces.
Even so, would it be humane to believe them blindly? Think about it. After all, what science (ithat is, those working with the system called science) says it is true today, may be false tomorrow! Still believe?
Trust! strong belief or blind-faith is the main cause of most of the sufferings, turmoil, distress, problems and crises of mankind. Where ignorance and blindness are greater, faith is deeper.
For thousands of years, mankind's arch-enemy ~ traditional religion has kept people in the darkness of ignorance. Bound by the magic of superstition. Only science-based mind-development education can free people from this deep dungeon. But alas, man, due to his ignorance and long practice, has made that science a subject of faith today!
To the open-minded self-developing people, therefore, my sincere submission, blind faith in science is not at all desirable. In science either know or don't know. Yet if something is ever to be believed, the best way is to accept it as an apparent belief or an apparent truth.
