People have always followed these customs of religion,
saying we are doing this because ‘God recommends it’, or even funnier, our
‘guru’ or ‘priest’ recommends it. But have you really thought why you are doing
that? Why fast during the month of ‘Shravana’? Why worship trees? Why fly kites
only on the 15th of January?
Well, I’ve answered many of them in my previous posts, so
let’s not waste a 100KB of Google’s server space. What my point is, is that
there are smart believers in this world as well, and you know we need to
politely shut them up. They reply to my answers by asking me, “So, does your
‘Science’ know the origin of life? And not humans, the origin of the first
bacteria, the first viruses on earth?”, or sometimes “Why exactly did the Higgs
Boson explode?”
Well, that is the wonderful thing about Science. You don’t
pretend. You don’t have to pretend to know the right answer, and also, you
don’t need to have a universal answer to everything, i.e. the Guy upstairs.
People think, people discover, people invent. If a world-renowned artist can
make a blueprint of the helicopter 4 centuries before someone actually built
it, anything is possible (Who? Do your homework!). If civilizations can be
found dating 10000 BC (Wow, I just realized that this calendar is also based on
the birth of Christ.), anything is possible. If some really heavy,
square-shaped stones can be arranged thousands of years before the invention of
the crane to form the Stonehenge, anything is possible. We just need to know
the right way to do it (I know I just made it sound way easier than it is, but
that’s my point!). Even things like the World Wide Web, or the mobile phone, or
the Internet of Things have been invented. Google Glass and Oculus
Rift have been invented too, which still seem like dreams come true. Click a
photo by simply winking, come on people! We are close to Pierce Brosnan!
So, either you sit and wait for others’ revolutionary ideas,
or you make your own.
