Roots of All Evil ?
Anybody watched Channel 4’s program yesterday evening (January 16th) around 8?
I did and it shocked me. I always thought of as a country of religious tolerance, yet, in the program Roots of All Evil? yesterday, the presenter basically aimed at proving that science was right and religious believes wrong, and that, as a result, no kid should be raised in religious belief whatsoever.
What dazed me is firstly that the presenter did not (as it is usually the case) question anything. He just imposed his view. His reasoning was not of an objective journalist, but of a bad scientist. I mean he first expressed his view, and then tried to prove his point throughout the program. He took for granted that science was right and excluded any religious faith. He named religious “virus”. How shocking is that? He basically said it was stupid nowadays to still believe in God, whereas science and the theory of evolution was there to prove the existence of God wrong.
You might think I have religious faith for being shocked about the program, but I haven’t. I mostly believe in the theory of evolution and I do not know why I should believe in a religion or a God rather than another. Yet, who are we to impose our view on anybody and prevent them to have faith if they chose to? To me, everybody is free to believe in anything, and we should respect their believes. Besides, science made mistakes in the past (some theories were proved wrong). So why have faith in it?
Why do we, human beings, believe we have answers to everything? The “truth” (if there must be one) might just be out of our reach.
