Babble 039b
Thinking based on science, scientific mind, science minded thinking, science oriented mind, etc, I am trying to find equivalent to ‘bigyanMonoskota’ Bengali word (complex). In fact ignoramus is at a loss to fathom the meaning of that Bengali word.
Why god? Why ignoramus used to have a god in his mind. Science has many questions and some answers (so called knowledge) with disclaimer that the answer may someday be proved wrong. God is belief, a belief tree, and our mind is a belief forest. Even if ignoramus had tried to remove belief of god and deities other beliefs remained. Forests are essential for survival of mankind and other living things. Beliefs are essential for a human to survive. Beliefs can be good for destruction and suffering too. Today we believe that belief in strength of unregulated consumerism is sure shot for destruction of ……
Knowledge, human knowledge, is heavily gilded with many beliefs. Pure knowledge is traceable. Ignoramus once desperately tried locating his beliefs and sorting knowledge. Aghast! His knowledge of science is almost all beliefs.
