Logic and reason attempt to kill spirit, or at least deny spirit, in order to advance the agenda of technology and scientific materialism. The material is something we sense with our major subjective senses ie. sight, hearing, sense of touch, sense of taste-- but our inner senses are also subjective, yet the scientific world discounts the value of our subtle senses and places high value on our skills in regards to sensing the outer world.


Reason kills spirit. If you disagree with this please respond.

Sorry, this is a bogus thread. I resubmitted the thread under the intended title.

Meh, it ain't going anywhere. Nice "/" in the title there.

Here's a few Einstein quotes that played on the spiritual and the the science bit.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
"I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."
"Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love."
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
"The only real valuable thing is intuition."
"I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice."
"God is subtle but he is not malicious."
"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."
"The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."
"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."

Glad to know that some scientists contemplated these things......

"Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love."

I'm sure this came up in another thread. But the first quote is very important:

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

That's the basis of any good IQ test.
