Religion, science and philosophy

Despite not being a Spiritist, but a Catholic, I believe that the best way to correlate the three topics covered, is the concept below, named as Triple Aspect of the Spiritist Doctrine.

Science, as many deny, is not an opposite of religion, but rather a complement. It’s common to hear things like “So people came from clay?” to criticize creationism, however, they forget that in evolutionism, or Darwinism, the first signs of life, both unicellular and multicellular, were in water, which includes salt water, mixed with earth, sand, and the like.

Religion has its explanations of how life, the world, universe, and even more began, varying for each religion, but the value of a religion is not in worldly, physical, experimental knowledge, but rather in the creation of the individual's morals. The concepts expressed in the Bible, Quran, Torah, etc., result in the creation of a bond of belief, and through this, the ethics of that people are shaped, because with religion, social control can be achieved, positively or negatively.

Aiming at the positive aspect, one can imagine that someone, devoid of faith, when thinking about committing a crime, will only be afraid of being discovered, what inhibits are the cases in which the penalties and risk are high, however, the being will still maintain his will, if he has a gap, he will do so without hesitation. However, if the individual is religious, he will know that even if he is unpunished in the court of men, one day he will be judged by someone who knows everything, which, subconsciously, inhibits him from perpetrating such a crime, given that, before he even considered committing the crime, he already knew about such a trial since he was little.

After contact with religion from a young age, the individual is introduced to a school, where this will be the “science center”, while churches, temples, mosques and the like are religious centers, therefore, the school has no duty to shape their character, as this is already worked on with family and belief.

The knowledge passed on at school should be detached from religion, or if they are correlated, say it openly, as there will be children there, and they do not necessarily share the same belief and are in the character building phase, which can confuse concepts and hinder their formation, therefore, the school presents physical knowledge, that which can be experienced, seen and described.

This knowledge, later, when the character is already consolidated, and the material principles too, the being will begin to question itself, through philosophy, because, “Whoever knows others is intelligent. Whoever knows himself is enlightened. Whoever wins over others is strong. He who overcomes himself is invincible” – Lao-Tzu.

In this way, philosophy is necessary for the individual's growth into adulthood, because knowing who you are, what you want, your goals, and most importantly, where philosophy and religion connect, what questions, examples, postures, concepts, morals, and the like, you will leave for others. The biggest question, and the one that you will never have the answer to still live, is, “did I fulfill my role?”, it is something philosophical, but directly linked to belief.

The bond between philosophy and science is created when an experiment is not physical, but mental. As is the case with groupthink, that is, the way individuals think irrationally when grouped together is not physical – which is why people are so encouraged to be part of groups, but that is a topic for another time – but it is experimental, which is part of the method of science, however, it is a psychological fact, not seen by machines or the naked eye, but rather a fact portrayed in a logical way.

Bearing this concept in mind, it is understandable why there is so much appeal to keep people away from religion, because science is written by those who have power, if all faculties are pro-vaccine bias with huge aluminum rates, with mRNA technology, completely unknown, since not even “scientists” know its effects and how they will worsen, science says it is correct, so people will accept it as such.

The example was to demonstrate how malleable science is, in fact, it is a concept of men for men, it will always be open to lies, in the same way that philosophy falls apart, through social groups, you will not ask who you are, if you are always calling yourself an LGBT activist, Black Lives Matter, vegan – which is very different from vegetarian – and similar, to be accepted as a member of the group.

The attack on beliefs by progressives or bad intentioned beliefs, is to retain control with oneself, whether a distorted belief or the lack of a well-intentioned belief, creates a gap for the total control of a people, because, even in a tyrannical regime, a “President” can never place himself as something beyond, a god or demigod, since the belief will be contrary to the imposition of the dictator, many will even refuse to accept it. directly, being able to lose his life, but not reject his faith.

Therefore, defending religions is necessary, as is maintaining state and academic parity, as a distorted science also attacks religion, teaching terrible things to keep children away from the church, and closer to degenerate schools. The triple is the central point for the cohesion of the three elements, which support each other in a paired way, if one falls, the others will be prone to falling.
