I'll elaborate 1 point. The charles manson and Mother Teresa arguement. answer me these questions do you believe right and wrong is relative? Lets go for extremes and discuss murder. Murder is morally wrong relative to our society, but on an absolute whole its just another equation being executed. The only thing able to determine right from wrong is another reference point. Relative to a rock, the rock doesnt care about murder.
On a physical level manson and Teresa are just physical beings executing actions. You connect the dots and make a judgement and determine what each deserve.
I'm not saying don't be emotional and don't judge, you're entitled to you opinion of either. If you wish a horrindus fate on Charles Manson, so be it. Fact is he isnt going to hell, not when his perception ends. |
If you mean that "paranormal activity" has a scientific explanation of it, that may be true. But the explanation presented by science is not complete and sometimes only elucidates the mechanism by which the event occurred and not the true meaning of the event itself.
Let's take the Virgin Mary. Her conception was a miracle because she was obviously a virgin and logic states that that cannot be possible because fertilization of an egg requires a sperm, thus requiring sex. The fact that she did not have any intimate relations with a man and yet became pregnant is a miracle. Can that miracle can be explained by science? Maybe it can, maybe it cannot. If our limited knowledge of science cannot explain something by logic and reason, that does not mean that the credibility of the event is diminished. It only shows that humans are finite and do not have all knowledge. Just because a miracle cannot be explained by science, that does not detract from it the fact that it is a miracle.
For many years it was thought that the earth was the center of the universe. It was then later discovered that that is not the case and the earth is revolving around the sun. Basically, someone presented their argument using the limited technology and knowledge - presenting a logical statement I assume since it was elaborated by Aristotle and Plato - that they had at the present time to arrive at the (erroneous) assumption of the geocentric model of the universe.
Similarly, the assumption that there is no spirit or soul is based on present scientific knowledge, theory, and technology (if you are speaking independent of religion). However, that present knowledge and theory may be incorrect as it was with the people who accepted the geocentric model.
You asked why someone was making science out to be a perspective. You are also using your perspective of there being no heaven and hell as logical fact. You have consciously chosen not to adopt a belief system to "maximize your contentment level." What if that contentment level isn't 1+1=2? Meaning, what if your perception of what is right and wrong is false?
