My peace greetings to readers. Such a great world that we are living in full of wonders and mysteries. Have you ever wondered how long have the earth been around before time. Try to imagine the first man who step this earth until this point of time. Think of the changes that has taken place through the ages. Now just bring those thoughts to nature, knowing that in nature everything has its beginning and its end, how about earth? Will this world come to an end.
Dont relate what i have just pointed out to what you see in television, 2012 and all of that non-sense. Seriously, most of the information that we get from the media particularly on entertainment section are fiction, but people tend to relate it to the real world. I will share with you on that issue some other time, as it is not part of the topic, im pointing this out to draw the line so you will know the direction that we are heading.
Back to nature, the world as we have known has change so much. We humans have slowly and steadily become more and more advance. This is a wonderful phenomena for human race. Can you imagine how much science and technology has contributed to our standard of living. Everyone should be grateful of our achievement so far because we have struggled to make earth a better place for all of its inhabitants.
In todays entry, i will not discuss a-lot on the great establishment of mankind, but rather i would like to discuss on the danger of extremism. Well the main platform that i will be using is on science and technology. I choose to write on this subject because im concern with the growing influence in our society. Notice that i did not reject or condemn the idea of having science and technology as part of human development. However i do reject and condemn the idea of "extremism in science and technology".
Personally i condemn any form of extremism. Extremism in religion, culture, tradition, practices on and on. By definition extremism is, "the holding of extreme political or religious views or taking of extreme actions on the basis of those views". In wikipedia it is, "the actions of ideologies of individuals or groups outside the perceived political center of a society or claimed to violate common moral standards. See so its not only me who opposes the idea of extremism, according to the source that i have provided, even the society claimed that it violates moral standards.
Let me share with you why extremism is dangerous. In the example which i have provided earlier on, "science and technology are accepted by the society because it is a part of human development”, must be supported because those people are striving for our sake, however there are another group of people who becomes to obsess or extreme with the superiority of science and technology that they leave everything else behind. To them they are god or greater than god with science and technology. This is one of the many confession of an extremism.
Is it true that you can have all the power of the world if you have all the science and technology? Not an easy question i would say. Definitely you will be some-one great if you control those two field. You will have the power to control many things. However you must remember that even those two fields have its limitation. Now science cannot control the sun and the moon. Science cannot control the rotation of the earth. Science cannot control how you and i think. Science cannot control the future. And technology needs science to develop. So now we know that science and technology is not all powerful after-all.
Now it is my concern to my fellow man that has gotten the whole idea wrong. What we should do is remind each other and bring all those who transgress back to the correct path. For those of you who is suffering from the problem of extremism, let me tell you what it can cause. In the case of science and technology, if you are an extremist in that area, one of the problem that you might face is becoming an atheists(somebody who does not belief in God or deities). Why atheist? Well in most cases an atheist would come into thinking that science has reach the position to over-write every single ideology on earth.
There is a big problem that will surface if you become an atheist. Its the code of conduct that will be the problem. The one thing that is missing is the authority. You see when you dont belief in God hence you would tend to think that nothing else is greater than you, which means you do not need to comply to anything else. Its not much of a harm if only one person practise it, however its a big problem if a whole community, society or country practise it. If this happen, the whole community can have barbaric life and instead of moving forward they will be moving backwards. Get what im trying to say? There will be no such thing as murder. You can be naked in public places. No dis-respect to atheist, but this is one possibility that can happen in our society, unless we dismiss it ourselves.
Now in the case where an atheist still thinks that it might not be that bad if they adopt the good practices from all the different ideologies but still not belief in God. A hybrid atheist i suppose or some might say atheistic religion. Definitely it is still not safe, because now they can decide what to take from the sources. They can structure their code of conduct to their advantage. Trying to be smart ah! But you can out-smart the Creator.
See what they are doing is playing with THE system. They are deciding whats right and whats wrong for them. Now i urge readers to find out who should decide what is right and what is wrong? Give me your answer and reasoning, one correct answer and good reasoning will be rewarded with a copy of the Holy Quran.
Ok at this point of time, an atheist friend would want to defend their belief of no god by pointing out the disadvantage of all religions. They will say, as for them they do not need to belief in a god which is above them which can neither speak nor hear what they pray for, so to say that belief in god is just a waste of time. Well dont argue just smile and say if thats the case you are missing something very important in life, guidance.
