Pathways of natural sciences.

The struggle against religion and faith in God has been waged since the 19th century in philosophy and the natural sciences. Man has been reduced to machine and physiology. It has been claimed that the spirit is only a manifestation of matter, and that the human brain excretes thoughts like the liver of bile. Darwin came up with the idea of evolution. Many thought. We have everything explained. And without God. How pathetic this way of thinking was. As if someone was saying that we no longer needed to attribute the car’s origin to the designer because we discovered that the car was moving by burning gasoline. Whether there was a development or not, whether we have already discovered individual physiological processes in the human body, or whether we have already discovered the pattern of nervous activity. The crucial question remains. Who arranged the structure, called the car, who set the fantastic design, the system with consciousness and thinking, called man. The essential questions around man existed and therefore continue to exist. There are also questions about God and the question of human religion. All these great questions of man sought to refute the natural sciences and the particular sciences of the human psyche – psychoanalysis and the psychiatrist. The first anti-religious stimulus was given to these sciences by Sigmund Freund, who declared religion to be a disease state of man and a manifestation of neurosis. Freud said that religious ideas are the fulfillment of the most vital and most urgent desires of humanity. The believer can also agree with that. But why should these desires be just an illusion? Why should God be just a projection of these desires? Why can’t He exist as a being that man desires? Why should religion be just an empty desire, and why should it just create the human mind? Why should human desire not be born because God, the originator of the world and man, is encouraged? Indeed, out of the very desire for God and eternal life, it cannot yet be concluded that there is a God and eternal life. But it also cannot be supposed that God and eternal life do not exist.
