Oh my God... But can you see that, in the end, we say the same things? I DID NOT SAY that they were wrong to manifest! I said they were wrong to do it because they didn’t even know what the pope had to say to them. Well, now I’ll tell you: he was inviting everyone not to stop and to continue their search. He encouraged young people to continue in scientific research and the search for truth. Truth understood as light, synonymous with Jesus Christ, which must always be present and never dissoluble.
This speech (summed up in two lines) might or might not be liked. However, at least let them say it. Then you can contest it. But there’s more. The pope, in his speech, does not condemn science nor, even less, does he order it to stop when it clashes with scientific truth.
Now, it is true that there were 67 physics professors who stopped the pope, and it is equally true that the university was occupied by a hundred students. And the others? We are faced with a minority asking the majority to do what the minority wants.
But that’s not all. There are respectable scientists who are atheists. But there are also just as many believers. I, for example, have a friend who is part of this latter category. He works in Boston at a research center that finances, through its research, the arms industries (and therefore the construction of new weapons). After a while, he withdrew from there.
What I want you to understand is that science is a wonderful thing. But it can also be a monstrous thing. This is because man does not set any limits. And here, we are not talking about the freedom of choice of a Jehovah's Witness in refusing a blood transfusion. But what is being conveyed is a sort of caution, to impose some brakes on greed. Which, from a thirst for knowledge, inevitably transforms into a thirst for money and interests. And this is an irrefutable truth.
I conclude with this story. Mine. Two years ago, I fell ill with an apparently incurable disease, which leads me to feed exclusively intravenously (IV). I cannot ingest anything solid. My entire gastrointestinal system is destroyed, and it is unknown what caused it or by whom. They removed a stage of colon cancer. But nothing has changed. Now I can nibble a bit, but always within limits. I cannot eat ANYTHING. Should I hate God for this? Perhaps. But if all the science of man could, in some way, make me feel a little "less bad" (I only settle for that and not for feeling a little better), then I would be devoted to science. But if that were to imply something monstrous from a moral and religious standpoint (for example, creating human beings in a laboratory and then offering me their parts to eliminate them), then I would let myself die.
That said, I’ll step down and close. He who has ears, let him hear (Jesus Christ teaches).
P.S.: Vic, do you think Jehovah's Witnesses are also satanists?
