Question

In our current worldly situation, we are seeing a sharp disparity between faith groups and science where each is being set in opposition to one another. I want you to think about how you might best defend your opinion of the situation given what you currently know about faith and reason. Keep in mind, the generalization of the disparity between faith and reason is not indicative of everyone but mainly the very vocal. How would you change that conversation so that the vocal was more reasonable? (please explain)

Answer 1

In our currently wordly situation , where we are living in a period of technology, much advanced technology, medication communication are used, still many people have lot of belief of superstitions or otherwise group faith in some goddness. Science is advancing a lot where people are even moving in the same. the belief in superstition in may be good in some situations and that should not lead to the degradation of human lives. Mostly in the name of goddess there are many faith groups even today in many places. For example, if a child is having continuos fever, this faith group people will not go to the doctor for treatment nor take medicines, they go to the temple and they will have burns on the body believing that the burns are put for the sake of gog and the God will take care of the child and he will be cured.

Sacrificing the lives of the animals in the name of goddess for the festivals is another faithgroup belief, that the goddess will be satisfied with drinking the blood of the animals, without really knowing the reason behind that. mostly people have a belief of putting camphor on the palms and burning and making others believe that they have some powers, but the reason behind is the scientific reason where the fire when burning will never flow downwards, it always moves upward. There are many people who burns the body with the fire and make us believe that they have some powers, the reason behind that is science. foe a second the fire will not show the pain on the body.

Everything is proved by science with a reason when coming to the vocals, at the time of festivals the ladies makes others believe that the goddess has entered their body and making them speak in the place of goddess. this the belief of many faith groups. Really speaking if the goddess has entered their body as we knoe that god have many powers, and may have knowledge on all subjects. If we ask any question related to what they dont knoe, they are not able to give the answer, this shows that if really goddess is in their body they can give any answer to what ever the question is asked to them. these all are the beliefs of the faith groups, though the science is proving all scientifically, people are not able to believe science.
