Grudgematch II: Grudgematch's Revenge
Some of you might remember a while ago I did a grudgematch....Computer Games vs Real Life. Well, out of boredom, this time I'm going for another one. A bigger one.
Science VS. Religion!
AND IN THE RED CORNER...
Science: Why do we follow science? It's REALLY bleak, but possibly accurate which is worrying. To science, we are just machines, by products of evolution the way I see it. We have soul, no heaven, no hell and no higher purpose. Our minds have developed the way they have for one reason, so that the human race may continue. Everything is geared towards us living onwards. When you die, you just die. You don't go anywhere and you're soul certainly doesn't live on, you cease to be. The nuerons firing in your brain (or whatever it is) defines exactly who and what you are, and your enviroment purely affects the development of these. At the end of the day, we're souless automns living out a life that is without any higher purpose than to allow the next generation to live on the same souless life.
AND IN THE BLUE CORNER...
Religion: Religion's in general give us something to look foward to, a feeling of something to look up to (you all know this anyway). We have a soul, maybe even a destiny and certainly something better waiting for us. We know that when we die, and provided we've lead a good life, we'll go into our afterlife and be rewarded. We feel a God or Gods are there to look down on us and protect us, guide us and be there for us when we have nobody else to speak to.
Which one would I choose!?
Well, when you lay them out like that, it seems fairly obvious.
Religion KO's Science in the second round for a fairly easy victory.
Maybe I'm biased against science, and I'm not hugely religious, but I like to believe in a God to give someone for me to pray to when things are going wrong, or someone to talk to when I can't speak to anyone else. Maybe in my heart I believe that she (I made a point of calling God 'she' because nobody else does.....random but I do!) doesn't really exist, but it's nice to take comfort in it. And so it's confirmed...
Science sucks. Up with religion! This also proves that maybe it's not always best to believe in the most feasable answer, after all, science seems more likely than there being some all powerful being guiding us, but it's less comfortable to believe that. I mean, hell, if science was right then so was Agent Smith in the Matrix when he called humanity a virus, and we're no virus!
Ahem. End of grudgematch. NEXT MONTH..........well I haven't decided yet, but it'll probably be more interesting, and less 'Yeah I know all this' or 'I disagree' or plain 'Li, shut up!' than this one. Or it might not exist. Was fun to write a grudgematch though!
