SCIENCE IS MODERN IDOL WORSHIP

I was watching a trailer for an upcoming movie about the life of the great Stephen Hawking on Youtube, and as most people, I skimmed through the comment section. From the trailer, the movie seemed to be more about a love story than science (...disappointingly). Surprisingly, the comments were not about science or love, they were about the evils of religion. The followers of science (sciencists?) were expressing their hate for religion, and how great and lovely science is. Science brings almost nothing but good, and all religion does is bring evil. I've always wanted to write a post about this topic, that it makes no sense at all. But I'll leave it for the next one. For now, let's talk about why science is the new idol that people worship.

No doubt, the human race has advanced tremendously due to science. We have the atomic bombs, mortars, laser guided rockets, drones, warships, smart phones, GPS, and the internet, all due to the collective intelligence of Muslims, Christians, Jews and Pagans. At the same time, for as long as mankind has been on this planet, we have worshiped something, be it rocks or an Almighty that we can't see. Today, though, we have people who claim to not worship anything at all. They believe in the science that created the atomic bomb and the internet. They think they're above the rest of the human race, they are intelligent and sophisticated enough to figure out all on their own, that there's no deity at all. There's no super natural force. There's nothing. But us...and aliens (this is for another post). We don't need a deity, we have science. We can answer anything we want through science. Thus, replacing science for a deity. Science guides us in life. It gives us peace and tranquility. Science is the way the truth and the life. Science is almighty. It can not be questioned, if science says it, then it is the truth.

Sounds like a god doesn't it?

Just to make the point even more clear. Think of when, let's say, a Christian converts to Islam. He realizes that Jesus is not the real God. That Islam has better logic and evidence for their being only one God, without any partner or son. So he rejects Jesus' divinity and accepts Allah as his lord. Similarly, imagine a Christian who converts to atheism. He realizes that Jesus is not a God, just a Jewish man from Palestine. He sees that science has better answers for his life than does Jesus. So accepts science and becomes a so called atheist. Essentially, making science his new deity in life.

Sciencists, by rejecting all other deity and submitting themselves to the way of science, get so attached to it, that they start spewing hate for religion, turning into the people that they claim to dislike themselves. It all turns into an hate mantra. Just read the Youtube comments to see how much hate non-believers have for believers and how much love they have for science, just like when a Muslim hates a Christian or vice versa.

To summarize, people today have become so attached to science, claiming it to be above all, that they essentially turn it into a deity like the Christians turned Jesus into a deity. They submit to it, believes it to be the truth, defend it, protest for it, and write books to defend it, or offend religionists. Then there are these extremists who publish Youtube videos, Youtube comments, blogs, etc. that spew hate about other beliefs, mainly religions.
