Hello my beautiful people, you realize here on my blog we talk about anything tech, scientific, intellectual and or just anything out of the ordinary. Today I have something probably you didn’t expect. I have been having questions about science and why is it that its never accommodated in our existing belief systems. So I approached an expert and he shared a lot which I thought I should share with you.
While you read this article, I want you to be completely skeptical and realize that its not meant to convince you in any way or cause you discomfort. These are thoughts of person who is in no way supposed to tell you how to view your life or live it. However, if you are convinced well and good.
In contrast, I hope that at the end of this conversation you will be convinced that you either have been an hypocrite or do not know nothing or less and that you should start listening more, gathering information and basing your decisions not on dogma but on tangible evidence and base Faith where it’s based.
Here we go.
“When you truly love science in an African nation like Kenya among people who think they know much about how life should be, the first title you get is anti-God. So it becomes a hard task to express your apparently, ungodly ideas in the midst of these people. I personally do not blame these people, I know people are hungry, poor, jobless, uneducated and that is what they want solutions for. The problems come in when they judge science. These individuals do not expect anyone to be really interested in this field just because to them it’s not a bother. They base their arguments on ideas driven by ignorance. I have done my studies and I have come to realize people are more interested in emotionally driven ideas and ideologies other than the real intellectual knowledge.
As a science student or enthusiast, trust me you have no position here especially when relating to people with a conviction that they really know who God is. The moment you speak of a science idea especially a futuristic one, one that involves changing how we view life and our purpose here on earth, you are officially anti-god. You cannot be a free thinker and still be considered a believer. As much as almost everything is personal and nobody really cares whether they are taken in or not, I think it is good that it is expressed.
When it comes to matters universe and its origin, I lean more towards faith but still with expectations and some curiosity. I do not know what that makes me. You decide. Books have been written explaining everything and providing guidelines on how to think and view everything. I have faith in what they teach but mine is curious faith. I want to know why, how and when because I want a solid understanding of the concept. Being curious does not mean not believing. In fact curiosity is the ultimate reason why you know what you do, it is the interest you have towards something. Positive interest.
So these people think they know it all, we think we need more information before we can decide. That is why we take longer to be conclude while they always find themselves to have decided even before they’ve heard you. I tell you, its not their fault. Everything they know they have either been taught or told. They have taken this as a law without questioning. They have no chance of thinking about it. I can liken their brains as storage devices as opposed to analytical devices. You on the other hand like to visualize and think .You like to imagine. You like new knowledge. You are a free thinker. You do not think that everything should be as it is. You believe that something can or could be different and you spend most of your time figuring this out.
In the midst of such a people. You have to know that you are wrong and they are right because they do not know that. To create a cohesive environment for both of you, you my friend have to be the one to bend your ideology and for that moment be the wrong one. You will need to do this because they already don’t think you can be right. These people do not know that science is the expression language of God and we are just trying to learn the language and be able to appreciate God, whom we still do not know, better. I do not know what you are picking but when they argues too much, ask them to sit down and think about the things they interact with daily and let them realize that they are a result of science and that the people who made this possible were just like you. If they are wise enough as they claim they will see the hypocrisy in them.”
