The higher logics.

While reading through the book of dream interpretation written by Sigmund Freud, I discovered a very controversial quote which says;” It would be an error to suppose that the theory of the supernatural origin of dreams lacks followers even in our own times; for quite apart from pietistic and mystical writers -- who cling, as they are perfectly justified in doing, to the remnants of the once predominant realm of the supernatural until these remnants have been swept away by scientific explanation -- we not infrequently find that quite intelligent persons, who in other respects are averse to anything of a romantic nature, go so far as to base their religious belief in the existence and co-operation of superhuman spiritual powers on the inexplicable nature of the phenomena of dreams (Haffner).” This statement implies that superhuman and spiritual entities which predominate the faculty of human belief are merely fictions of elders who insisted on having explanations to feed the ever inquisitive nature of youngsters while the science of this ‘mature’ millennium generation is the beacon.

If this statement is taken to be true and believed by majority, it would be a knowledge. But that is truly impossible considering the epistemological flaw in philosophy. Philosophy indirectly suggest that by being the hybrid of truth and belief, knowledge is superior to both. But even knowledge by way of scientific methods, that is, has its degree of truthfulness. How can humans be sure that a knowledge is true when they are prone of making mistakes through weaknesses, the same reason why hypothesis was invented in science and hence; the challenging of it. How can materialists be sure that a knowledge is fit for belief without ‘leaning’ it on a certain guidelines, known since long as had descended from a divine source. Out of many reasons why a specialist in a certain field of study has to complete the circle of the particular field and actively contributes to this field later on is to avoid coining new terms explaining same phenomena all over again. Our incapability as humans to holistically examine a phenomenon after connecting its counterparts together-somewhat like a puzzle-and our laggard development in collecting the missing pieces cause our scientific explanations to be devastatingly temporary and hence our belief -if based on science- be rendered plastic.

That is why the concept of tabula rasa is wrong and the debate of nurture against nature is petty; because almost a must that human beings and the entire universe which exist serving purposes be equipped with a pre-program marking the axis of significance of life. It is therefore; right to only say that scientific knowledge is nothing more than a tool to determine which spiritual belief suits the very nature of mankind best and not to substitute belief itself for too feeble is science to displace mighty belief sustaining the existence of proper moral values, ethics and ethos. This is exactly what was revealed by the virtue of God’s Messengers.

This higher logic of the truth of spiritual entity and the belief it deserves makes our logic of the lower incapable of challenging it. The motivation and determination of people refusing to give up faith will always succeed revealing foolishness of materialists like how the ‘Big Bang’ erased the theory of static universe from existence.
