I prayed to God last night and He told me to tell Prophex to take a science degree Science is meaningless, and nothing can be gained from it, besides results that are in turn, helpful in the physical realm. If only people could know that this means nothing in comparison with eternity. An amazing philosopher named Socrates talked of, in his day, great studiers of the observable world, what we would call a scientist of modern day, who made great progress in his/her field. Socrates brushed aside the issues of science, and the physical realm as if they were not there. I wish I could do that. His thoughts in an excerpt from "The Story of Philosophy":
quote: SO why study something so finite, and worthless, when I can seek truth in philosophy, and the good book? The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in? In your head, in your mouth, in your soul. And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old. Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so.

Socrates didn't have a toothbrush or toilet paper.

What is man, and what can he become? Hi, prophex. I'm curious about your view on this point. Socrates, the "good book," man--all these are physical. Are they not then foolish, too? If you believe God created them all, then why did God create all this foolishness? But most of all, I wonder what great truths about man and what he can become did Socrates discover?

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Some of the best philosophers studied science first, and then went into philosophy.

Brilliant men agree with my ideas. Or thought of them before me. I can quote them, to show you that I am not alone in my thoughts on the world, and evolution. Do you think that the philosophers of Ancient Greece took evolution seriously when it was introduced? Nope. Science, or the study of the natural world, physis, does not hold significance to me, to destiny, or to God.
The world is illusoryBrahman alone is real well sure as planets come, i know that they end and if i'm here when they happens, will you promise me this my friend? please bury me with it i just don't need none of that mad max bullshit
