Science will win what ? Quote from some previous post: "science will win because it works"
What an absurd and meaningless thing to say. Doesn't everything work? Everything that happens works, but not necessarily for good. Mindless entertainment works to keep people mindless; does that mean it wins? Let's see how science works: Nuclear bombs work, gas chambers, thousands of dangerous chemicals, nuclear plants work very well at producing dangerous radiation waste, suicidal processed foods, can dig oil wells so deep cannot control them, go to the moon (what the heck for), produce weapons for war, transplant organs for a few at a staggering cost while billions go hungry, . Obviously, I'm leaving out some of the good stuff, to make this point because it does appear that survival of human race is at risk. Like Einstein said the mind is a terrible master, but can be a wonderful/good servant. Good servant to what? From my own experience and observation of world, the mind( thinking itself the master and believing only in material science or only in dogmatic religion) is the creator of all the problems; whereas the heart is the seat of all the solutions being the source of intuition which Einstein talked so favorably about. Here are some Einstein quotes: "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. <http://thinkexist.com/quotation/science_without_religion_is_lame-religi\ on_without/15560.html> " "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." [sounds like Amma] "The only real valuable thing is intuition." "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" And an article by Einstein on Religion and Science @ http://www.sacred-texts.com/aor/einstein/einsci.htm <http://www.sacred-texts.com/aor/einstein/einsci.htm> I do not agree with Einstein completely, because I have confidence that the greatest scientists were and are the ancient sages and the current sages. But, at least this article shows that Einstein did not think of "Science VS Religion" but saw the necessity of both, each at its best, should complement each other for beneficial progress and survival of the human race. I do see edg's point about using famous people's quotes as somewhat a selective and questionable process and will contemplate on that Om Shanti, anatol
