I leave the assumptions to you. I'm just stating a fact.

No kidding... In fact, science has brought us no closer to
understanding ourselves, other people or the world and our place in
it, than they were in the stone-ages. Besides, didn't you pay
attention when I told you that ET has nothing to do with science? Are
you deaf, or just plain dumb?

The only thing science is good for is making technology - the new
opium of the masses. But who decided that technological expertise is
the best method to measure our ability to understand the reality we
live in? Those who are influential in defining peoples' realities -
the producers, scientists, advertising, the media, politicians, etc.
-- have made technological advancement the barometer of human
progress, claiming that the advancement of technology is a most noble
pursuit for the human race, that it has made the world a better place
to live in.

As proof, they list all the consumer gadgets we use and are dependent
Upon - CD players, computers, cameras, cell-phones, televisions, DVDs,
cars, and so on - and say that the intelligence to build these things
shows that we have advanced our understanding of nature and how she
works, far beyond our ability in the middle ages.

But is this assumption correct? To build a CD player, one certainly
requires advanced knowledge of physics and chemistry, but these two
elements contribute to only a small part of the reality we perceive. A
far greater portion of reality consists of our conscious experience of
it -- something most people have forgotten. The unsuspecting public
does not realize that they are the observers of reality, and that such
observation is conditioned by the culture they grew up in. They take
it for granted that what they experience is reality, and that this
reality is best described in physical and chemical terms. 

Modern science is very useful for making technology, and when we live
in a world where the masses are kept in awe and reverence of
technological wonders, science is of course a most important
undertaking. But the jubilation of the modern people over the newest
technology is not different from the gaping wonder with which people
in the middle ages looked upon sorcerers and magicians firing off
sulphur and gun powder. The magicians did this to dupe their audience
and secure their comfortable hold on society. In the middle ages the
regents of society kept people in ignorance so they were easy to
control and manipulate, and today modern controllers use the exact
same means to enslave people in ignorance. In the global culture the
slaves have just been upgraded to a middle class who owns their own
house and car. But they still slave their lives away in boring jobs
and are marred by the same endless worries and miseries, people have
always suffered from. They are still being ground down by taxation,
victims of greedy politicians, exactly like it's always been. 

There is no basis for saying that advanced knowledge of mathematics
and physics enables a person to better understand the reality he lives
in any more than the cave dweller of some 2000 years ago who
worshipped nature and various gods. If modern society were based on a
proper understanding of reality, why is it ruining nature and her
inhabitants, who are sustainers of life? It is atheism that keeps the
consciousness on this lower scale of conscious evolution and blocks a
human being from becoming self realized. Self realization simply means
to realize oneself as separate from matter, without which there is no
question of God-realization.

No amount of technological expertise can aid us in that. Despite the
so-called advancement of modern society the human being is till not
able to transcend his mental conditioning. The proof is that modern
society does not produce people with evolved consciousness. Rather, we
see the exact opposite taking place - in proportion to the advancement
of technology, people have become more and more atheistic, base and
animalistic.

So why aren't the principles of recognizing the self --  which is the
basis of all understanding and learning -- not being taught in the
modern educational institutions? Because society, as it exists, is not
equipped to facilitate self-realized human beings. What need does a
self realized person have of the plethora of useless products that are
produced by the few conglomerates that control world consumerism? Such
enlightenment would indeed negate the necessity for the technological
advancement upon which the world's finances now rely. That is why, in
the current global culture, a deliberate campaign exists to transform
people into atheists. In such a culture, religion has been replaced
with politics. Instead of voting for a particular religion, one now
votes for politicians, who are mostly hired by those multinationals
with the biggest checkbooks -- all in the name of serving the people,
of course. The modern Coca-cola and Disney culture has
already made the whole world into one big marketplace - a worldwide
altar where technology is worshipped as the new opium of the masses.

Being fed an endless stream of propaganda from Hollywood -- where
technology is being depicted as the saving grace for all of life's
problems -- and living in an environment where they are constantly
bombarded by cell-phone and computer emissions (EMF), we quickly
forget that technology, despite assurances to the contrary, cannot
save us from the onslaughts of nature. Time and time again, technology
comes up short in the fight against nature; the new priests of
society, now clad in white coats instead of black, fail to comprehend
how the mechanisms of nature work. And how could they? They also
suffer from the misunderstanding that everything is dead matter, and
are restricted by the assumption that their knowledge of physical laws
can explain everything.

Yet more important than the understanding of how matter works is to
understand how consciousness, false ego, intelligence and mind work.
These make up a much greater part of the reality we perceive. As long
as we fail to understand the difference between matter and
consciousness, we cannot even be said to have evolved beyond animal
consciousness. That's why atheism is dangerous - it keeps the
consciousness trapped in a one-dimensional world of matter. It keeps
the living being from its rare mission in the human life form, which
is to study consciousness. It cultivates a perception of life where
the consciousness cannot see itself  - a deception where the
consciousness in its absorption in matter forgets itself.

Every individual is duty-bound to alter their consciousness and
connect it with the whole - Sri Krishna. While Srila Prabhupada was a
nitya-siddha, he was also a social revolutionary, as was the Lord he
served: Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The political correctness that
predominates in the world and passes as social etiquette should not
stop us from assisting him his mission - to silence the atheistic
class of men, and to inundate the world with Krishna Consciousness.
