Dialogues in Philosophy, Mental and Neuro Sciences 5 (1):25-28
(2012) |Abstract||We examine that both science and religion were
original products of the human imagination. However, the
approaches taken to develop these two explanations of life, were
entirely different. The precepts of evolution are well
established through the scientific method. This approach has led
to the accumulation of immense amounts of evidence for
biological evolution, and much scientific progress has been made
to understand the pathways taken for the appearance of organisms
and their macromolecular constituents. The existence of
spiritual beings has not and presumably cannot be documented via
a scientific approach, no more than a fairy tale or a myth.
However, science, education and knowledge coupled to proper
actions are exactly what are needed to make the correct
decisions so as to preserve and improve our common, shared
biosphere which is currently confronted with two immense
problems: human population growth and climate change.| |
