Why Science Without Wisdom And Conscience Will Destroy Mankind?

Why is science without wisdom and conscience useless? Why is it dangerous? Why will it destroy mankind?

Science can and has done wonders.It has made it possible to make our life easier and better in some ways.It has made it possible for us to have more time to do what we really want to do.It has made it possible to get this message to the world.

But, science without wisdom and conscience will also lead us to destroy ourselves.Science is a good tool but it is only a tool.Like a knife, science has to be used with wisdom, conscience and skill.

It needs to be guided by people with wisdom and conscience so that it benefits mankind and not destroy it.Science is like a bright and talented child, full of potential but it needs a wise parent to guide it.Without proper guidance it will lead us to destruction!

Look at the world! Are we not heading that way? Wars, pollution, climate change, toxic wastes, superbugs, etc, etc, etc.Do we not need guidance?

Some quotes that I came across of others that reached the same conclusion:

“With the monstrous weapons man already has, humanity is in danger of being trapped in this world by its moral adolescents.Our knowledge of science has already outstripped our capacity to control it.We have many men of science, too few men of God.Man is stumbling blindly through a spiritual darkness while toying with the precarious secrets of life and death.The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience.” (General Omar N.Bradley in 1948)

Notice, how General Bradley brings God into the picture? God is the only one that can give us the proper wisdom and train our conscience properly so that we triumph instead of self-destruct.

“The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice.” (Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi)

Notice how Mr.Ghandi brings God into the picture? We did not create conscience but we do need spiritual guidance so that it functions properly.

“All our modern global crises are the outcome of science without wisdom.If we are to avoid in this century the horrors of the last one - wars, death camps, dictatorships, poverty, environmental damage - we urgently need to learn how to acquire more wisdom, which in turn means that our institutions of learning become devoted to that end.” (http://www.nick-maxwell.demon.co.uk)

The warning has been sounded by much better people than me.But are we listening? Are we giving heed? Or will we ignore warnings as we always do? Time is running out.Our future hangs in the balance!

    What really happened in the Garden of Eden? Did greed grow in the Garden of Eden? Was greed at work in the Garden of Eden?

    What is greed? The best definition that I have heard is that greed is desire out of control. We all have desires. But, when we allow them to get out of control then we have greed.

    How bad is greed? It’s disastrous. It is trouble with a capital T. It is probably one of the sources of evil. According to 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, greed can keep us out of the kingdom of God.

  • Why Did Jesus Spit In A Blind Man’s Eyes?

    Disgusting, puzzling, strange, weird, that’s terrible! Those might be the reactions when someone reads Mark 8:23. Jesus spit in a poor blind man’s eyes. How would you feel if you went to the doctor for a solution to an eye affliction and he spit in your eyes? Why would Jesus spit in a blind’s man’s eyes?

    That doesn’t make any sense or does it?

    First of all, if a person reads the verse, it says that Jesus spit on the blind man’s eyes and not in the blind man’s eyes. Still, why would he spit at all?

    In this third and last part, we will continue to discuss Bible passages that supposedly describe a fiery hell where the wicked are tortured forever. Do these verses contain any substance to the existence of a place of torture for the wicked? You will have to decide for yourself.

    Try to put God’s personality and his loving qualities in perspective. Do you have children? Would you ever have the heart to torture them and to do so for eternity? If you would not have the heart to do that, how could God?

  • If Hell Exists Then God Is The Most Evil Person In The Universe!

    If there is a hell (a fiery place of eternal torment) or if hell exists then God is the most evil person in the universe! Why do I say that?

    I am a father and a step-father. At times my children did things where they needed some discipline. But never in my wildest dreams or the day where I was really upset and hurt by something they did, did I ever decide that I would torture them for a minute, never mind for eternity.

  • Worship Me Or I Will Torture You Forever!

    Worship me or I will torture you forever! Wouldn’t God be saying just that if hell existed? Does it make sense that the Almighty God would give us that choice, which isn't a real choice at all?

    Does that sound like the appeal of someone strong, wise and loving or the threat of someone that has nothing going for him? Doesn't it sound more like the threat of a loser and a bully that doesn't have anything else going for him but brute force and threats?

    Is that a choice or a threat?

  • Why Do We Eat?

    Why do we eat? But why do we eat so much? Why do we eat what we eat, which more often than not, is not the best food to optimize our health?

    We eat because we need to eat. We eat to live. We eat because it is one of the pleasures of life. Eating is a gift from God. In Ecclesiastes 2:24, we are told that eating is a great pleasure of life and that it is a gift from God to enhance our happiness. How happy would we be if we could not eat?

    Is it really a necessity to eat?

    Some have wondered why God didn’t destroy Adam and Eve when they sinned and start over again with a new couple. He certainly could have done that but He didn’t. Why?

    God may have his own reason why He did things the way He did. Let me share how I have come to understand the events. One reason could have been that there was something to salvage. How is that? Let me use use an illustration that I have come up with to explain how I understand the situation.
