Religion and Science Reconciliation?

The film amply illustrates how ignorant ideas, led by religion, hinder human development. Here we don't talk about doctrine, only facts.

1. Religion says that there is a transcendental existence, you have no way to prove it, but it exists, just believe in it. OK. This is the basic view of many people who support religion. If this is the so-called religion, let's not discuss this issue. But the real religion is not just like that. Religion in reality, what is it? It is asking you to commit suicide attacks, to destroy for your beliefs something different from your beliefs. Don't say that only bad religions do this. All religions that can persist in the real world are exclusive, non-ideal, don't think about things, and leave the judgment of things to a higher authority.

2. Just to find out that the signal sent back was Hitler's film, and as a result, some people were restless and some committed suicide.

3. Oppose trying, because "we don't know if they believe in God", specifically, the Christian God.

4. The last hearing on Ellie actually reflects the lack of scientific awareness. I believe that the first thing anyone with a little scientific awareness should think about is, oh, we have to repeat the experiment, this time remember to record the time, and It's not to repeatedly pester this person whether he has a mental problem. The accusation against Ellie is actually not a scientific attitude at all. The real scientific attitude is that we actually don't know whether there is a wormhole, maybe there is, maybe not, there is no factual evidence for both theories, OK, when both theories are possible to explain, the scientific attitude That is, design an experiment to determine which theory is correct, and then try it, instead of using the razor principle without any factual evidence, and saying, I just believe in conspiracy theories, which is pure misuse of science the concept of. In particular, there is now only one result of an experiment that is clearly reproducible.

The final reconciliation between religion and science, I think is the director's own point of view, unable to fully understand the concept of science, or to please those who 95% of us suffered from mass delusion.

PS: I don't hate the male lead's playboy face, Looking at it sucks.

    Science fiction classic, the section through the time tunnel is very magnificent and amazing

    I have seen movies with similar plot twists and turns, so I feel that Jodie Foster's character's interpretation of truth-seeking and adventurous spirit is the most moving part of the whole film. In addition, the confrontation between science and theology and the political system shown in the film is also very exciting.
