When science first developed in the West, it thought of itself merely as a tool to explore the natural world. It did not pour scorn upon religion; indeed, scientists were overwhelmingly religious believers (as many still are).
Science should essentially takes us wherever the evidence leads. In modern times, however, science has given rise to 'scientism', the belief that science can answer all the questions of human existence. This is not so.
For instance, Science cannot explain the origin of the universe. Yet it now presumes to do so and as a result it has descended into irrationality.
There is no evidence for this whatever and no logic to it. After all, if people say God could not have created the universe because this gives rise to the question "Who created God?", it follows that if scientists say the universe started with a big bang, this prompts the further question "What created the bang?"
As a result of such arrogance, the West - the crucible of reason - is turning the clock back to a pre-modern age of obscurantism, dogma and secular witch-hunts.
Far from upholding reason, science itself has become unreasonable.- Religion is utter cock but science will I eventually merge with spirituality as we understand more about itset
