Science as dogma.
Do scientific sectors in the 21st century hide new dogmatism?, it is paradoxical and incomprehensible, but science, that which man created to discern the world and objectively understand his reality, is becoming in some sectors the true field where the seeds of good and evil are sown.
Sometimes listening to and reading some ideas from those who defend science, one might wonder if they haven't mistaken their calling as priests or missionaries fighting for their faith. Are we experiencing a resurgence of the ancient human custom of creating immutable truths by masking them under the name of religion, faith, or science?
Let's look at some examples; in this century and especially in the United States there are broad sectors that defend a creationist doctrine, (SCIENCE, THE MANIFESTO, WE WERE CREATED)
Moreover, they teach it in their educational centers, which means that teachers prioritize their religious ideas over scientific truths, those validated by the scientific method, dismissing any passage of Darwin's theory of evolution; you can even read, and I have read it, that it is only a theory as its own name indicates.
This union between knowledge and dogmas is already very ancient. Is it true that science is the way to distinguish good and evil? Does anyone believe that science should be an objective element free of emotion?, Little by little but without pause we are getting used to new priests and new dogmas beginning to come from certain sectors of the scientific world.
For a while it's fine, especially to eliminate entrenched errors, wanting to spread a dogma like a virus over our operating system which is science, is something we should begin to put a firm brake on.
Ambiguity in the scientific world goes very far, we can see how an important part of the greatest scientists of all time have a clear dogmatic-religious basis, (dogma does not always equate to religion).
A hasty explanation of this could be pointing us to the importance of using both brain hemispheres to find answers; relying only on reason is settling for half of the resources that evolution provides us, some brilliant scientists used religion, others simply smoked marijuana (Carl Sagan) Is that any different? when it comes to making both brain hemispheres work perhaps the way matters least.
The scientific method is a cult of conceptual reality and forgets the support that it often uses to achieve desired fruits; the dogmatic part consists of wanting to crucify a useful part of our brain, however an amputation of imagination and the yearning to transcend things only leads us to scientific fundamentalism and truthfully once we reach this point the differences between religion and science are small, and since for now science is beginning to venture into this field, I prefer to listen to the Dalai Lama who is already an expert.
