Excerpt:
At first glance, science and spirituality may appear as contrasting forces, each vying for supremacy in explaining the mysteries of existence. Yet, upon closer examination, their relationship reveals a complex interplay of cooperation, conflict, and coexistence.
Whether science is considered superior to spirituality (or vice versa) depends on one's perspective and the criteria used to evaluate their respective merits. Some people may prioritize the empirical evidence and practical benefits of science, while others may prioritize the spiritual and existential aspects of religion and spirituality. Ultimately, both science and spirituality play significant roles in shaping human understanding, well-being, and hope of now and the afterlife.
In humans' fragile existence, to disregard the invaluable offerings and profound benefits bestowed upon us by the relentless pursuit of scientific inquiry is to perilously forget that we are mortals and risk ending our lives before our time. For it is through the workings of science that we have unlocked the secrets of medicine, thwarting diseases that once ravaged civilizations and extending the thread of life in our bodies. More so, the reach of science extends far beyond the realm of healing and healthiness alone. From the inception of the wheel to the wonders of modern transportation, science has been the architect of progress, propelling humanity forward on the chariot of innovation. It is through the ingenuity of science that we traverse vast distances in mere hours, communicating instantaneously across oceans, and harnessing the forces of nature to power the engines of industry. From the towering edifices of engineering wonders to the intricate networks of telecommunications that bind the globe, the dividends of scientific inquiry enrich every facet of our existence, offering not just sustenance for the body, but nourishment for the soul and mind alike.
Yet, as we tread the course of our lives and existence, we must not neglect the spiritual realm of faith. To sever the ties with spirituality is to risk being adrift in the boundless expanse, barred from the sanctuary of the divine. It is through the prism of faith that we glimpse the promise of a new world, an eternal abode granted by the benevolence of God. With scientific ways, we become smart but with God we become wise, and is wisdom not superior to smartness? Perhaps, that would be a debate for another day!
But tread cautiously in religiosity, for in the realm of belief, the extremes of gullibility and destructive loyalty beget peril. To heed blindly the words of religious zealots is to court the erosion of reason, casting aside the compass of discernment in favor of blind allegiance. Conversely, to surrender wholly to the altar of science is to risk forsaking the divine presence, consigning the truths enshrined in sacred scriptures to the annals of oblivion.
Let us instead chart a course guided by the harmony of reason and faith, acknowledging the symbiosis between the empirical and the divine. For in this delicate equilibrium lies the fulcrum of enlightenment, where the revelations of science and the wisdom of spirituality converge to illuminate the path towards a transcendent understanding of our existence. In navigating the dark miseries of existence, the surest footing lies upon the intertwined paths of science and spirituality.
Let us recall philosophy and logic as the referee in this book, as it will help us counter the potential for insidious brainwashing by scientists and religious adherents, and advise people to be cautious about the so-called 'free thinking’. Many people confuse philosophy with free thinking. It's important to clarify that philosophy is a structured and esteemed body of knowledge, unlike free thinking. Free thinkers should know that to stray from the well-trodden avenues is to risk wandering into the murky depths of uncertainty and peril. Free thinking, while alluring in its promise of unbridled exploration, is a treacherous path, devoid of the guiding rails of empirical evidence and spiritual insight. Indeed, it is a path fraught with danger, for it can lead one astray, alienating them from the comforting embrace of truth and understanding.
