Is science the faith of Richard Dawkins?
In this documentary “Root of all evil”, Richard Dawkins, an Oxford professor, is asking questions about brainwashing children with the religion of their parents. He mentions the fact that so many children are “victims” of religion conditionings, without the freedom of deciding for themselves how to look to the world. Sad facts indeed, that lead to lots of conflicts in the world today. But, he seems to consider scientific theories as “proven facts”. Although the way parents educate their children can very well be questioned, one can also question the “faith” of science, based on logical thinking. Won’t theories be changing forever? Can they ever be complete? Can thought, which is the past and never the present, ever be complete?
Do you “believe” that thinking science has all the answers?
What if thought is not the only way of coping with reality?
What if there are other ways of perception?
What if that “spiritual” kind of perceptiion only occurs in people who do not fill up their minds with logical thinking?
What if some scientists would leave this possibility wide open, without conclusions about what is possible and what is not (as far as they know)?
What if that approach would gradually change the cells in their brains, which would make it possible to eventually “receive” other frequencies and gave them the means to observe existence in a totally different way?
That would be nice science. Inconceivable for thought, of course.
