STILL THANKING SOME ONE IN THE SKY FOR ALL SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENTS !
Mankind suffered from diseases for three thousand years without doing enough to find out their causes and remedies.Have you wondered why ?Priests discouraged writing and reading of scientific books.For a longer period,priests convicted and punished several secular philosophers and scientists.Bruno’s adventures in free thought ended when the Roman Inquisition declared him “an impenitent, pertinacious, and obstinate heretic,” to which he characteristically replied, “You may be more afraid to bring that sentence against me than I am to accept it.” In 1600 the inquisitors stripped Bruno naked, bound his tongue, and burned him alive. At least his universe survived.
However they could not impede it forever.Science ultimately had its way.Gradually,over the last two hundred years or so,scientists have managed to explain almost all these so called divine powers and their divinity to inflict various physical and mental ailments.Today modern science and technology ,guides every aspect of human life. Surprisingly, credulous believers and followers of various faiths,are still thanking someone in the sky for all these scientific developments.Divine paradox indeed !
