Your science is a sitting on a throne of illusion. In your scientific method
there is no room for spirit. Any mention of such evidence is instantly dismissed by those in your position. It places you in a precarious posiiton, of being a blind man leading the blind. The service that science has evolved towards people is a blind certainty toward quantification as a means to discerning reality. You have set your own parameters, and through them cannot accept the qualititave aspects of life, calling them unscientifically verifiable. But they are verifiable scientifically, because true science is the discernment of spiritual activity.
it is only in your own little group of fellow believers that you can walk your corridors, and nod towards each other that you have it all worked out. In the real world you are becoming an elitist little group that influence the atittudes of our children. Your only come back is to criticise the war-like
religious fundamentalism, as a way to justify your views that you have the correct approach. You fail to accept that even this war-like religious fundamentalism is a spiritual problem. Your solution is to place a remedy of illusion there instead.
This "selfish gene" that your kind see as a fact, is pissed upon when one gets real and looks around at the unselfish acts that humans are capable of. But you have set the parameters so tight, that anyone criticising you will get called a "mystical poo head".
Let's weigh up the scientific facts you say there are, against the facts that humans are not only material beings but spiritual beings too, and that spirit is as scientific as any quantifiable evidence you say you have so far.
And I'll begin by exposing what evolution must come to believe if it sees itself as the only fact:
According to the CIA World Factbook, there are over 150,000 deaths per day worldwide.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, there are over 6,500 deaths per day in the US alone.
You have a 1:119 chance (in your lifetime) of dying from "intentional self-harm", a 1:34 chance (in your lifetime) of dying from "unintentional (accidental) injuries", and a 1:22 chance (in your lifetime) of dying from "all external causes of mortality" according to the National Safety Council.
So even if science fixes death from aging or other internal causes of mortality, how is it going to prevent all of the external causes of mortality? How can science prevent "intentional self-harm", for instance?
The bigger question is . . . even if science could prevent intentional self-harm, should it? Assuming evolution accurately explains the origins of life on this earth, are those lifeforms that insist on self-terminating really a part of the fittest? Why not let intentional self-harm occur to remove the weakest of the species?
Evolution must regard suicide victims in this way. And here is the conflict between what evolution must believe, and the words of Jesus who said" the meek shall inherit the earth". Let's not assume either evolution nor spirit is true, let's discuss it anew. Why the "meek" as opposed to the urges of evolution?
