الوصف
Throughout human history, individuals have sought to uncover the secrets of nature and the universe. In the absence of scientific tools, they resorted to explaining matters through various mythological narratives, which, over time, evolved into religions still practiced today. Some of these beliefs have transformed into sacred traditions passed down from generation to generation. This book does not aim to confirm or refute these religions and beliefs, nor does it judge their followers. Instead, it seeks to explore contemporary scientific perspectives on certain topics.
Genetics, a field rooted in biological, mathematical, and empirical principles, allows for the verification or refutation of facts from a purely scientific perspective. In contrast, traditions are stories passed down without empirical scientific validation, yet they remain an integral part of human existence. People often prioritize traditions over science, even when guided by prophets or reformers who attempted to lead them towards enlightenment through direct divine knowledge. This resistance to science has often prevailed over the guidance provided by heaven or the wisdom of learned individuals.
This book delves into these themes from a philosophical perspective.
