1. Scientism is an overestimation of scientific knowledge and practices' strength and capability.

Science is the way by which we investigate and comprehend the world we live in. We want to
know how and why things work. Scientism develops when people lose their curiosity and fail to
recognize how much we still don't know.

Real religion is required to prevent good from being twisted into evil and science from becoming
scientism. Carl Jung, a prominent Swiss psychiatrist, believes that submitting to a higher power
helps us develop our moral sense. As a result, people's faith in a fixed and universal morality
promulgated by a higher authority allowed it to flourish. God, according to Judeo-Christian
theology, is this higher force. Morality crumbles when religion is removed from the equation.
We occasionally try to reassemble secular philosophy from other systems, such as humanism or
scientism, as you call it. However, these are poor replacements that inevitably lead to
hopelessness. The Magician Twin documentary film depicts scientists as having the capacity to
endanger a human being who thrives on science and technology. Science is more harmful than
magic, according to C.S Lewis, because magic does not exist but science does. Why is scientism
hazardous to humanity, in my opinion, because it seeks power, poisons our minds, and blinds us
to the substance of existence. The ethical rule is crucial in science because it will direct us to
what is right and wrong, allowing us to employ scientific study to its full potential. Respect for
human rights and the preservation of human life are also important considerations.

Because magic fails, science is considerably more dangerous than magic. If it does not function,
people will not be able to use it to control the world, but science has the potential to make it
impossible to control people. You can manipulate them if you locate the correct charge and
remedies. You have no other method of defending what you're doing in science, therefore it
becomes unsafe.

2. The film "Village of the Watermills" by Akira Kurosawa depicts a dramatic contrast between
the technologically driven existence that has enslaved most people today and a simple village
lifestyle based on what the Earth offers. "Watermill Village" is the concluding installment of
Kurosawa's "Dreams" short film series. It's worth seeing just for the cinematography.
While technology has provided us with ease, it has also fostered a gap between us and the
Earth. It's as if we're not a part of it at all. Since the beginning of time, this planet has been
undergoing a constant cycle of creation and destruction. Whether you believe it was through
the ground's dust or a monkey's mutation, we all came from the Earth. No, I'm not a believer in
the idea that we are the offspring of some distant alien race. Regardless matter what the History
Channel's guy who looks like he just pulled a paper clip from an electrical socket says. So far,
technology has been kind to us. The capacity to contact anyone within three seconds of thinking
about it, reclining in bed while watching TV, and walking to a big box in the kitchen and pulling
out a cold drink are all wonderful creature comforts. While modernization appears to have
made life easier, it has also created distractions and removed one need that many people
overlook: peace of mind. I'm not referring to a song by yet another Boston band, but peace of
mind in the sense of quieting your mind, letting go of your thoughts, and becoming aware of the
amazing happening all around you.

I don't think so. Science is a means of learning about the physical world. And that's it. It
is morally void on its own. Faith is a belief in a hidden structure within our world of experience
that connects us all to a more perfect reality. Consciousness and moral judgment flow from this
sense. Only then will we be able to avoid bringing our own fate upon ourselves. Science is
neither good nor bad; yet, it requires guidance from outside sources.

We can say that human flourishing does reflect progress and development because
human flourishing is something that we can say as an effort in order to achieve our self-
actualization and fulfillment. It is something that promotes the growth, development and
holistic well-being of individuals and populations. People always seek to live better lives and
provide better living for their family, so in the process, we seek to live a life that has a meaning
and we aspire to achieve and fulfill our own potentials in lives.
