Yep its me and I'm back from a super long break of NOT blogging.... Oh well... you know the CCA and the work has been piling up and all and its really been tiring... But today I've got some rest cause I've got the flu!! :) YAY...
Well, Chinese Orchestra has been well... Long but still a bit fun... I must say I'm looking forward to the days without the CCA in the way.. But till then... well, I guess its alright... Literature has been really fun!! With all the laughter and the lame mimicking of the voice for the movie traliers..XD... "One man, One desire.." XDXD...
Well, I'll guess I'll end off today's post with something I read today which I felt was really meaningful to me...
Here's an abstract from Dan Brown's book: Angels and Demons...
Here the camerlengo, who is the right hand man of the Pope, said something that... really makes you think...
"Never before has it been as obvivous as it is at this moment. Science is the new God."Shocking, isn't it?? But there's more
"Medicine, electronic communications, space travel, genetic manipulation... these are the miracles we herald as proof that science will bring us the answers. The ancient stories of immaculate conceptions, burning bushes, and the parting of seas are no longer relevant. God has become obsolete. Science won the battle. We concede."...
"But science's victory,"..."has cost every one of us. And it has cost us deeply...""Science may have alleviated the miseries of disease and drudgery and provided an array of gadgetry for our entertianment and convenience, but it has left us in a world without wonder. Out sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of universe have been shredded into mathematical equations. Even our self-worth as human beings has been destoryed. Science proclaims that Planet Earth and its inhabitants are a meaningless speck in the grand scheme. A cosmic accident... Even the technology that promises to unite us, divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel utterly alone. We are bombarded with violence, divison, fracture, and betrayal. Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Is it any wonder that humans now feel more depressed and defeated than they have at any point of human history? Does science hold anything sacred? Science looks for answers by probing our unborn fetuses. Science even presumes to rearrange our own DNA. It shatters God's world into smaller and smaller pieces in quest of meaning... and all it finds is more questions...""Yes, you have won.. But not fairly. You have not won by providing answers. You have won by so radically reorienting our society that the truths we once saw as signposts now seem inapplicable. Religion cannot keep up. Scientific growth is expotential. It feeds on itself like a virus. Every new breakthrough opens doors for new breakthroughs. ManKind took thousands of years to progress from the wheel to ther car. Yet only decades fromthe car into space...We cry out for meaning. And believe me, we do cry out. We see UFOs, engage in channeling, spirit contact, out-of-body experiences, mindquests- they are unshamedly irrational. They are the desperate cry of the mordern soul, lonely and tormented, crippled by its own enlightenment and its inability to accept meaning in anything removed from technology/"Its goes on and on but I'll stop here cause its already alot... So, what do you think??
