Article 11 : Does science make belief in Allah/God obsolete?
It depends, argues a sceptic... Science does make belief in an Allah/God obsolete, by making obsolete the fiction, the so-called reality of an Allah/God ; however, it depends on how far we are able to push the definition and sphere of science.
Nature flows of its own rythm, it needs no mover ; nature has been evolving through its own internal dynamics since time immemorial, it follows its own laws ; if everything and everybody needs a creator and if we were to imagine, concocte an intelligent designer, a supernatural Allah/God, then who would have created such an Allah/God…. ? Our morals, our ethics, our laws are the bye-products of our social dealings, essentially the social necessity for our individual and collective well-being, our life. Religions never created any ethic or morality ; ethics and morality, social and political institutions, whether good and bad, were already there ; religions only picked up and re-introduced them on the name of some fictional Allah/God with the added horror of punishments, to fortify their political power. Slavery was already there at the begining of Christianity and Islam ; none of the these two religions proscribed slavery, they just accepted it as they accepted nearly all the good and bad traditions of their time ; slavery was made unlawful only by humans, not by Allahs or Gods… ! ------------------------------ ---- In the interest of civilisation, all articles in this series, as well as all articles in the yahoogroup/humanist_ international may be reproduced or published in any language.
