Sikhism does not condone ignorance, Sikhism stands shoulder to shoulder with science
Life is a puzzle that needs to be worked out, God merely sets the rules, I am sure it pleases God no end to see the development and inspiration of Creation.
Sikhism has never advocated the 'leave it to God' approach, this is extremely Abrahamic, Sikhism wishes that all of Creation do the utmost to solve lifes riddles. Is not Sikhism about fighting against all odds? When Sikh warriors of old were confronted with unbeatable odds, did they run away, or just accept defeat? No, they did not, they fought to the end, optimistic. By your argument, one would think they would have acceptance. peacesign
Religion has a lot to answer for, and I agree with you, however, the facts that Science has validated appear in the SGGS years before. I myself despise 'religious' people, the very word suggests a fascination with 'an order' rather than the truth. Religious people point to manuscripts and quote passages to support their own brand of wierd theories. Sikhism is not about this, about being able to quote like a parrot, Sikhism is about living within the divine order that set the controls for the world, on a basic level, it is a respect for gravity by not jumping off a Cliff. That one is obvious, there are many more that are not.
It is not so simple, all those scientists are doing the work of Creator, working out solutions, making our lives better, all is Seva, all is good work, every such scientist is a Sikh!
