The Birth of Religion - Part 20

by Aura

By Seeker

Science has failed us as a tool. Logic was useful for some time and brought a revolution to the way we live, but it has become a tool that kicks back against the user.

Dogma has replaced the ability to think o7utside the box. If you try to open new ways of thinking, you will meet resistance. Science says you should be asked questions, be required to show how what you say provides answers. Instead, new thought is required to fit into how things are currently being seen.

If Einstein had been required to show how his ideas fit within Newton’s world, he would have remained in the Patent Office. Instead, he moved beyond what Newton saw. In this time, even those who try to use scientific method to show new knowledge are castigated and have their reputations attacked by the orthodox.

Rupert Sheldrake has some new ideas about PSI effects – he conducts large scale experiments to try to show ephemeral effects at a scientifically acceptable level – he gets ridiculed for trying.

What are they scared of?

Egypt alone has questions unable to be answered by orthodox thinking. Even if the Egyptologists are correct in their ‘history’ there are questions to be answered. To combat those questions, they remove the questioners from Egypt, they gather in numbers to ridicule the theories, and they ignore the inconvenient questions.

How did people who had only copper and then bronze, carve out granite? How did they make small radius curves in stone seats, or ‘drill’ into granite to make small bowls and vases? How did they align multi-million tone structures so exactly to the meridians? And if you can answer that, WHY did they do it?

Science should be addressing these issues as puzzles; instead, those who raise the questions find themselves cast beyond the boundaries, labeled and ridiculed as cranks or, the ultimate epithet, Conspiracy Theorists.
