Then, what about science? What about science and Reality/Non-reality? Does science hold the key to Immortality, to freedom from death. It all really looks like it comes down to Immortality...Reality-Immortality, Non-reality-death. It seems, then, that while religion looks to freedom from spiritual death, science, on the other hand, looks to freedom from mortal death. If there is freedom from mortal death, is freedom from spiritual death necessary? If science holds the key, then how does science, in regard to life and death, differ from religion? Is the difference only in terms of the definitions of spiritual and non-spiritual? Could the determining difference be how each system approaches and defines Knowledge? In this case, could Knowledge through Reason rather than Knowledge through Faith, be a better plan?
KNOWLEDGE
Science relies on Knowledge and holds Knowledge to be based on Reason/rational thought. Religion relies on Knowledge through Faith, based on inspiration, tradition, and interpretation. But one could ask of religion, "Faith in what or Faith in whom?"--the very God it seeks to become? Does science, then, seek to be the better determinate and dispenser of the secret ingredients? And if either religion or science actually possess the secrets and hold the keys, would the secrets and keys be made accessible to all? Would there be a price? Who would hold the deed? Why would the one who seemingly possesses Immortality, the very essence of Perfection and, hence, owns the title of the God of Creation want to share that ownership? Who would Know? Who would Know the secrets of God? Who would Choose to Know the secrets of God? Would that Knowledge bring about Godship? What if it did? Then what? After all, God is One. There can't be two Gods or multiple Gods.....Or can there?
