Two Basic Philosophies contrast each other Modern World
The secular side of our society with the scientific method seeks to demonstrate that mankind ascended from some kind of slime or cell and therefore that amorality is a perfectly acceptable philosophy for worldly culture. The philosophy of scientism, the idea that what science turns up is the sum of what there is doesn’t necessarily come from scientists, however. It comes from amoral activists seeking to promote their philosophies.
What we get from science is the vastness of what we don’t know and these activists don’t care to acknowledge that their lack of knowledge might have some effect on the ideals it takes to have a cohesive and peaceful society. They basically promote the ideology that there is no God unless science can prove it and that will never happen because they ignore the evidence.
The theistic side believes that we descended from the Gods or a God. The first seeks through its philosophy to eliminate the godly perspective and power even though science demonstrates in many ways the existence of divine processes in the body and the cosmos. Agnosticism is based on a systematic denial of purpose. By closing the mind to values of societal importance it provides no substantive foundation for long term happiness. It deals with values but not the intrinsic nature or purpose of the soul.
Values only have meaning to them in equations that have no existential meaning. Science alone deals with quantities, not qualities. While relying on strict integrity in the methodology of investigation, no revelation of purpose for the integrity of the individual will ever result. Medical science has demonstrated quite sufficiently that certain habits and substances lead to disease and early death. This does not stop large numbers of people from doing them or corporations from pursuing a profit by providing them. Science cannot provide a person with a path to happiness or lasting joy that transcends its capabilities.
With a few hundred years of science, some modern thinkers act as if the 6000 years of written history can be ignored because it started with a narrative of the Gods. With their knowledge of science, short and small as it is, they seek to solve the existence of an infinite cosmos and the dilemma of death, which has already been done by beings far superior to them and revealed to prophet messengers to relay them to us in case we really want to know. They can be confirmed by a communicator much more powerful than any technology we are presently acquainted with. It is called the Holy Ghost.
