At a Halloween dance, Ian meets a mysterious girl and takes a close-up photo of her eyes. Ian found the girl of the night from the eyes on the billboard. They meet on the subway and the girl feeds him Mentos. Ian put on his headphones, and the music of Dust it Off rang out. On the platform, the singing pulled two hearts and brought them together. They fell in love.
Sophies have another system of discourse. She believes that the white peacock symbolizes the reincarnation of the soul and that God exists. Ian rejected the existence of the soul on the grounds that "the white peacock just lacks a certain pigment" and "the photo is computer synthesized". You won't find any romance in the scientific discourse system.
Ian's job is to bring down God, and he's looking for data points at various stages of eye evolution, and ultimately back to the origins of vision. Ian, who is an atheist, believes that God did not create the eyes, it was a product of evolution.
For Ian's rebuttal, Sophie will also refute. In the lab, when Ian and Karen were thrilled to find the key evidence for vision evolution, Sophie retorted that since Ian and Karen were able to mutate a sightless bug to have sight, then Some people also have the ability to perceive the soul world because of mutation, and God lives in the soul world. This makes Ian, who is a man of evidence and reasoning, speechless, because Sufi's reasoning is very scientific.
So science and religion, no one can overthrow the other. Science and religion are two systems that talk to themselves. It's strange that Sophie and Ian, who are on the side of two opposing discourse systems, can get along peacefully. At this moment, I can only conclude that love is greater than science and religion.
When Sophie died in the elevator, the director specially arranged the scene of the white peacock taking off and the sculpture of the goddess in the cemetery opening its eyes, implying that Sophie's soul was reincarnated, thus leading the story to the discussion of religion, and cracks began to appear in the scientific world that Ian believed in.
When Ian and Karen's baby was registered for an iris scan, they discovered that the baby had the same iris structure as a stranger. This is unexplainable by science, and in the end can only be explained by accidental registration errors. But when Dr. Simmons ran a series of tests on children on the grounds of autism, Ian found pictures of dogs and people on a farm. All this implies that the child is the reincarnation of the soul of a stranger.
Ian's farm trip was just the beginning, his India trip was the climax. In the birthplace of Buddhism, he was looking for a girl with the same iris structure as Sufi. In India, Ian couldn't understand the meaning of "I am his servant" when the businessman he met by chance said, and was also regarded by the female teacher of the welfare institution as unreligious. He was still in his scientific world, and even when he tested the girl, he thought the test was stupid. It was only when the girl suddenly showed a fear of elevators that Ian began to agree that the girl was Sophie's soul reincarnation. The director obviously advocates the reincarnation of the soul in this film, which shows that religion is greater than science.
Regarding science and religion, Ian has this assertion: Religion is nothing but a classic written thousands of years ago, and these classics are immutable; while science is not stagnant, it is constantly changing and progressing. This is also an evolutionary explanation of the nature of science.
Today, I am neither a scientist nor an anti-scientist, but my interest in science has faded away. As for religion, I don't worship blindly either. The criterion for judging whether a religion is not a cult is whether the religion gives you the right to enter and exit the religion freely. If there is a single religion, then love is the only religion. Many people are thrown into its door, and their hearts are broken.
