The interesting thing is that it needs belief that science can do all these things in order to start doing it that way
Um, no, that turns out not to be the case. The whole thing about Science is that it doesn't require belief - that's the whole point of Science. If you have to believe it, it ain't Science.
There may be ways in which science might enable us to understand more about the cosmos. But IMO it is more probable that science as we know it, and that is commingled with technology, will always be blocked from finding the deeper reality of things which human beings possibly cannot fathom very much while still alive
While this is an interesting statement, it is scientifically a null statement. It is opinion & has no validity in any science except perhaps psychology.
Thinking outside the paradigm is however not a trait of science, though. The real, existing scientific community on this planet thinks mostly within paradigms, not outside
And yet strangely, science has consistently stepped the human race outside the current paradigms & into brave new worlds. People may hang onto a current paradigm, but the next generation of scientists, looking to make their place in the world, will break the old paradigm wide open.
I can understand why people look at the corruption around us & blame science, but science did not cause the corruption - that is the fault of greed & power seekers. If there are questions, Science can address them. Claiming anything within the universe is outside the realm of rational thought simply continues the faith paradigm & we all know where that has led us. All those things you are pointing out come from the continuation of that paradigm & the failure to fully implement rational thought.
Quantum ideas bring us the possibility of finally understanding what this universe is about. String Theory is an approach to understanding the basics of construction & some scientists are delving even beyond that.
And yes, without those interested in basic research, there would be very little development of spiritual or astral knowledge or experience. It is hard to find the leisure to meditate when nearly all waking hours are spent finding & preparing food & keeping the cave warm.
People do bad things with science; but people, for much longer, have done bad things with religion, spirituality & mysticism. It is the dedication of those pursuing basic knowledge that have brought Humanity to the potential for a better world.
Never doubt there is Truth, just doubt that you have it!
