WHICH IS MORE DANGEROUS:
SCIENCE OR RELIGION?
Religion has given us churches and a people, of strong, moral beliefs,
who are able to practice, openly and freely, their God-given birthright of freedom-and-choice.
These cherished birthright(s) have become so important to the churches and its people
that Freedom of religion is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
As a witness, or an example, to this powerful protection, that some may consider dangerous,
are people of all nationalities, (i.e. Russian, Serbian, Mexican),
who have been driven from every corner of the earth, to this great country of ours.
It is their last asylum to practice their faith and to maintain their "cherished beliefs".
Science, on the other hand, has given us institutions and politics that are profit-driven
at the expense of the individual's "inherent trait(s)" of "freedom and choice".
Science is a "method". It's based on "hypothesis". The idea is proven by "experiment".
To experiment with human lives has always been a "moral" question.
That's why science and religion will always be at odds.
That is why science is more dangerous than religion.
The examples are numerous.
(a) Hitler's extermination of the jews and more than ten(10) million Catholics
has been proven to be based on "science and politics".
(b) Man's Inhumanity to Man, through war, revolution, civil anarchy, terrorism, etcetera,
has been shown to be based on "science and politics".
Misguided beliefs, by terrorism, have become the State through acts
of denial, penance, euphoria and declarations contrary to the Bible,
its teachings and its Ten Commandments that are based on love.
His Living Word has become an instrument instead of a cherished belief
protected by a Constitution and a Church whose foundation cannot be destroyed.
In summary, if we look at the question, "Which is more Dangerous:
Science or Religion?" Can it not be said, "Science"?
All the best,
Jamieson
