Will science do a better job than religions?


Science tells us the following things about humans:

1. Humans have basic physical requirements that must be met in order to survive.

2. Humans are totally dependent on other humans from conception to death.

3. Without cooperation or power relationships required for human survival will not exist.  

4. Relationships based on cooperation have better outcomes than those based on power.

The first stories in the book of Genesis reveal the same ideas. Do you think science will do a better job than religions in getting humans to understand and apply them to their lives? Or do you think religions can change and do a better job?

Why are we are always pointing a finger at someone else?

Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins’ book The Wisdom of Judaism is loaded with very useful information. His discussion about “ Personal Growth ” is based on a quote from the Babylonian Talmud ( Bava Metzia 107b ): Improve yourself, and only afterward, try to improve others . Below are some quotes from his discussion. I have reformatted the text in a few places to highlight specific points the rabbi made. Sometimes, when trying to make the point that we need to start with ourselves, I ask people to stretch out their hand and point with their index finger. Then I ask them to notice where the third, fourth and fifth fingers are pointing. . . . There is a wonderful Hasidic tale that illustrates this point. A famous Hasidic rebbe once proclaimed that when he was a young rabbi: his idealistic and romantic goal was to change the world. After a while, he realized that his aspiration was too grandiose, and so he lowered his expectations and said that he would be satisfied if he could just chang
