When certain groups devoted to myth and belief systems try to quell and abolish science as a necessary tool for understanding our Universe and our existence within in it, we are challenged to debunk their efforts. This post will attempt to do so. A rational person will look out into the vastness of existence and question it's reality. Many irrational people will not attempt to look out into the vastness of our existence at all since they have an alternate theory for our being. Centered mostly on what has been passed down for generations from our ancestors, they prefer to rely on understandings formed before enlightenment provided through science, and instead choose to believe an enclosed system that has no need for new discovery. Yet as we continue as a species that is all about sensory perception and data collection, their view of things has little to do with reality and more to do with emotional security. Fear is their primary function when confronted with logic and innovation as they would rather deny rationality out of fear than to deny their own comforting understanding. What is missed here by them is their incomplete analysis of what science offers outside their ability to continue to have a spirit filled faith in something else. Yes, both may be simultaneously held without there being a conflict. Understanding of course that belief in something requiring faith is not based upon absolutes. Science tells us that and if a rational person accepts the logic of facts then that person will undoubtedly be able to form a more comprehensive understanding of all things in their life, including their spiritual understandings.
