I think yo have misunderstood what i was meaning. I am not suggesting in any way that science be halted, if that is what you derived from my brief post
I was merely pointing out that neither science nor religion can validly prove or deny the other, because they approach reality with two completely different goals, and will ask different questions. The leap of faith is as you described, seeking to understand the "why?" base upon our limited understand here and now.
Can science answer why I love a person, or for that matter to believe? If you say it is because of a series of neural and physical reactions that develop into a routine pathway of emotion, I won't disagree. But i dont beleive youhave answered the question of why, but how. "Why?" may be a non-question to you. perhaps to you (as your last statement reads) there is nothing more than trajectory, and predictable cause and effect. You are welcome to that pov, if you feel it is right, but I believe there is more.
Do yourself a favor though, dont shut your eyes if something More shows you something. keep them open.
Take care. |
