How can an assumption be proved? Only when you enter the laboratory and
perceive with your own senses, that such and such a thing is correct. Your
bodily presence at the premise is a pre condition. Instead, if we are convinced
of the proofs through the lines of a particular book (like bible) or through
the statements of a group people that we call scientists, then it is better to
call this proof as belief. The technical jargons of science never permit us to
conceive the truth with our senses or to elucidate the proofs through the
calculations that we do not know. So when they say that there is HIV, we
believe that there is, and if some other negates this idea, then we are
confused. Thus two gods are formed and
we are forced to believe one. I believe
that the earth is round, because someone have taught me so. I believe that
people landed in moon, because I have seen the photographs of the incident in
news papers. If the photographs were
fake, what can my belief be called?(there are still many, who believe that the
moon landing was a fake drama. Some scientists have stated that, even now we
are not in a position to land in moon. I
don’t know.)
There is incompatibility in our statements, because, so far
I was elaborating about the fate of the present day science, and you about the
scientific attitude. The main problem
here is that we are losing our scientific attitude even in the matters relating
to science. Why the atheists direct
their precious time and energy in criticizing a philosophy which is at the
verge of extinction, and why they cannot expose the fallacies prevalent in the
present system that we call science. Why they are not bothered about the fact
that our present day science is fully manipulated in the hands of vested
interests and that the present day industries, and the corresponding
consumption patterns of the society in the long run will destroy our flora and
fauna. Why, we, the
science people, still believe
that some miracles will happen to save the earth, even when our natural resources
are drained by our voracious consumption.
At some primordial time, our quack doctors used poisons to
treat the body of diseases, they used hot iron rods to immunize the wounds
. but now we have replaced those crude practices
with the most modern chemotherapies and radiation therapies. History repeats in
other forms. To kill in the name of
religion was unscientific, but to kill in the name of science, we call it
scientific. Our scientific attitude
cannot stop wars or mass killings. Let science prevail and not the earth, not
its flora and fauna and not the human who traverses its surfaces
