Are the ideological principles of science and
religion/spirituality flawed? Well actually no not until you bring in
dogmatism, once one becomes dogmatic about any such ideological principles that
is when flaws start to appear, not in the principles themselves, but in the
people who are expressive of such ideological principles.
When we are dogmatic, what are we expressive of, what human
trait does dogmatism rely on to exists, it can’t exist without this particular
human trait? Dogmatism can’t exist
without a controlling ego, once the ego takes control of us there is a good
chance we will become dogmatic within any ideological principle we take on.
Recently I have been in a discussion with science minded
people concerning my last post titled Philosophical
Views and the Sciences. The response I got was very typical of anyone
arguing on behalf of their own ideological principles they abide by in life, in
this case the principles where scientific principles. Science isn’t conductive
to dogmas and basically how dare I relate religious mentality with science
mentality in this way. The problem was,
the more they argued with me the more dogmatic they sounded which was of course proving my point.
I also showed how corrupt science of today is and how some
of these scientists will falsify findings to obtain more funding and
prestige. https://explorable.com/scientific-falsification
I also showed how atheists are just as if not more dogmatic
than religious/spiritually aware people. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/unique-everybody-else/201309/dogmatism-and-openness-experience-in-the-non-religious
Like anyone who has an ideological principle that they see
is the be and end all, they will defend these principles to the utter end which
is exactly what happened, the discussion is still going on.
I thought I would insert one of my responses to a science
minded person about the question religion/spirituality doesn’t give evidence so
it’s not credible.
I agree, we form a
hypothesis /philosophical view takes inductive reasoning but to formulate a
non-conjectural outcome of a hypothesis we use deductive reasoning.
You said there is no
evidence, what is evidence to theorist is different to what is evidence to a
realist, if we relied totally on a realists deduction we wouldn’t get anywhere
because all theories at first can’t be proven so a realist would disclaim
theories from the start because there is no solid proof that a theory is
fact. A good scientist is a theorist and
a realist but that is obviously not the case for a lot of science minded people
these days.
Now let’s look at
evidence again between a realist and an idealist (religion), what one calls
evidence isn’t evidence to the other and visa-versa, which one is more correct?
Someone who is dogmatic will say their ideological principles are, how often do
science minded people proclaim their ideological principles are right over all
other principles? Is this any different to religious dogmatisms? Of course not…..
In a thousand years’
time do you honestly think the present scientific principles used today built
solely on logics is still going to be in use? Most science minded people will
dogmatically say most defiantly negating how science has evolved in human
history so far from philosophy and mysticism. Modern day science will keep
evolving unless dogma take it’s toll on such progression, quantum physics is a
good example of this in how it will evolve. Quantum physics borders on a kind
of mysticism at times which is why other dogmatic science minded people refute
any claims made by such sciences. I’ve even had dogmatic science minded people
try to tell me psychology isn’t a science and of course I proved them
incorrect.
The controlling factors of the ego have infested science
minded peoples scientific principles making their science investigations flawed.
This is no different to the Dark Ages when religion was infested by the
controlling factors of the ego. I showed how simular Dark Age religion and
modern day science is within their mentality, this of course didn’t go down to
well mainly because of the controlling effects of the ego.
Spiritual awareness is about awareness and being aware of
the connections between dogmatism and ego in any ideological principle. Spiritually aware people know, once the ego
is no longer in control dogmatism just won’t (can’t) exist and what a shame
that would be…….not.(:-
