Science? Proof? Huh?
by Libran on Sep 13, 2007 08:43 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

We talk as if science is ultimate truth. While there is lot of great things science has done, it is still an infant in front of nature.

Please see some facts:
A few decades back aspirin was considered a great discovery and widely used. Later some researchers concluded that Aspirin is bad and it was banned. Now again asiprin is administered for curing many health issues. This is just an example. Every year we get so many controversial theories. Some say Coffee is not good and should be shunned and others say it has many great qualities - so it should be consumed in moderation. The fact may lie somewhere in between. How can we trust such science? Similar is the scientific satement about alcohol, while most say alcohol is bad and to be avoided some other studies recommend drinking in moderstion daily

when you can't trust science in matters of relegion, how are you trusting when same science is taking you in aeroplane at 10km height?

But remember just because we beleived, truth will not become false or false become truth. E.g., many centuries people beleieved earth is flat, or sun going around earth... did they change just because we believed. When the proof came beleiefs have to change accordingly otherwise we making ourselves liars and our children followers of the lie. Your belief determinse your destiny

Sometime back I read in Competetive Success, a magazine that many Group 1 exam takers prepare had secion on persons Past, mentioned Jesus 4B.C Budha ~500BC Mohemmed ~500AD there they showed Valmiki ~800BC and Vedavyas ~800BC as Sanskrit poets, who wrote stories, why didn;t this agitation takes place then? You know more thing Valmiki is contemperor of Ram as per Ramayana... how it is possible one who lived 170000years back and one who lived in 800BC can be contemperors? Is History wrong?

So your competetive success is all the proof you need for what does exist and what not? You must be a studious and a person who does not have yet learnt something called WISDOM which does not come from books because you have to go through thinking process and findout the truth thourhg some experiences of life if you are wise. For example, for many years humans believed that Earth is centre of the universe and believing this, they killed many who said it is not the centre of universe. Now we know the people who were killed were right. So now people believe that Rama did not exist but no proof that he did not existed either. Rather there are more evidences supporting the existence. So, destroying something like Ramsetu wihouth thinking much may not be a wise thing for the Nation. It may prove to be a heritage in future.

Dear Truth Teller,
