DOES SCIENCE MAKE BELIEF IN GOD OBSOLETE?

`

Someone somewhere once said that Science is a record of dead religions.

The point being that religion is a haphazard attempt to explain away something (or everything) like the Alchemy and Astrology of old replaced by modern Chemistry and Astrology.

Will the science of a Unified Physics someday replace Religion altogether (thereby fulfilling John Lennon's wish of a "religionless" world where there's nothing to kill or die for)?
On the other hand, someone somewhere said that Science is but a brief history of human ignorance. The point being is that the more we know, the more we know do not know. That Science actually serves to prove humanity's wealth of stupidity... that today's respectable theories will someday be called superstitions...

Oh well, what's say you?

IS THE REALITY WE EXPERIENCE NOT JUST A FIGMENT OF OUR IMAGINATION?

Have you ever wondered whether this thing we call physical reality is not actually nothing more than just a dream or in today's parlance, virtual?

Young kids supposedly have this illusion that the universe revolves around them... until they realize that no, they are not that lucky. As they grow older and become more pessimists and isolated they began to entertain a similar thought... what if the the reality they experience is essentially illusory? --- what if the whole universe conspired to confine their consciousness in a prison of mental contexts and sub-contexts we call human existence...!

Okay, think of Matrix and you get the point.

Are we prisoners of our own little world, inside our own little mind? If so, then an outsider, a messiah figure, becomes our only way of escape?

DISABILITIES MAKE US STRONGER

Ever noticed how life is wasted on those who have so much to live for but are afraid to try reaching for their heart’s desires?

Then consider how the blind struggle to see the world with their hands. Or how the deaf-mute struggle to speak through an elaborate system of gestures. Or how some amputees struggle to write and paint with their toes.

We all heard of stories of how otherwise lowly folks like Hellen Keller inspired the world to see beyond their self-limiting prejudices and embrace hope as a way of life…

Then we look back at our sad, little, pathetic, so-called normal lives of good health, strong body with solid education to boot.. and for what? Little by way of real accomplishments… A few useless trophies every now and then in honor of our vanity and self-serving ambitions. Then we reward our efforts with expensive indulgences, self-inflicted vices mostly, of various sorts, all in the name of fun… oh well.

When I see people with disabilities mustering herioc efforts just to survive a normal day I just can’t help but think that perhaps.. its us “normal” types who really are disabled.

Oh well. Maybe I’m just being cynical again.
