Science dejects Christian philosophy
Bhubaneswar, 03/11/08 (VISAKEO): Science dejects the very ideas of the Christianity regarding the sense experience and the absolute knowledge that the sense experience never arises any kind of complete knowledge. In the suit filed at Bhubaneswar civil judge junior division court the petitioner Sri Bhairab Charan Padhy claims that Saint Thomas Aquinas’s saying “all knowledge originates in sensation but sense data can be made intelligible only by the action of the intellect…” is wrong and false, due to the fact that sense recognizes already sense known matter therefore, no knowledge is derived from senses. More over, there is no such action or reaction in the human body to convert sense data into knowledge. In fact, human body is congruent with matter. Hence no action or reaction of a different nature is possible in human body.
In a press meet at the State capital today, Sri Padhy, a postgraduate degree in physics from IIT Mumbai has shown Saint Aquinas’s thought is wrong and false. Sri Padhy in his book “Solution to Global Warming and Nuclear Bomb” has stated the above regarding this matter he has filed a petition in the court. The defended being Archdiocese of Orissa represented through Archbishop of Cuttack and Bhubaneswar. He has prayed to the court to direct Christian priest not to propagate Aquinas’s aforesaid false ideas. Around 400 A.D. Saint Augustine had said that to search for truth people should depend upon sense experiences. Around 1200-1300 Islamic philosopher Averoees in Europe propagated A.D. Aristotle’s philosophy. This threatened supremacy and integrity of Roman Catholic Church’s doctrine. In this situation, to reconcile Augustine’s teaching with Aristotle’s philosophy Saint Aquinas’s had held that sense experience by the action of intellect is converted into knowledge. Referring to the Hindu mythology in Ramayana, Sri Padhy illustrated that while Shravan Kumar was filling water in the evening, from a distance King Dasharath by hearing the sound concluded that some deer is drinking water and applied arrows in that direction, but the arrows pierced Shravan Kumar. Hearing the sound in the ear King Dasharath could not know the origin of the sound. This means hearing organ experience is not converted into knowledge. In general to know the origin of the sound is called knowledge. If in a room some music instrument like tape recorder, TV, Radio are kept and one instrument is put on, and if it is asked to a person listening to the music in the next room he can not say from which instrument the music is coming. Hearing sense experience does not know the origin of the sound. Therefore, sense experience knows already sense known matter. Hence, sense experience is not converted into knowledge. Also, in natural sciences systematic study of matter is undertaken by searching, examining, testing, verifying it by senses such as hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch and sense aiding equipments could only find already sense known matter. More over science could find already sense- known- matter; it could find no new knowledge. Therefore, science-searching matter by human senses invented mass destruction nuclear bomb. In view of the above it is said here that experienced due to sense input data by action or reaction is not converted into knowledge. But, if sense experiences are taken as complete knowledge, there is a possibility that we will face danger. At present, through science, the mass destruction weapons produced in the field of science has put humanity in danger. This proves that propagation of Aquinas’s philosophy that is false, by Roman Catholic Church is misleading. Advocate Sri Anil Kumar Sathapathy was also present in this press meet.
