You can't change the rules of science based on your ego or whims and fancies!

Q: What do you say about religion and caste conversions?

K: I and my science don't deal with these things. I usually don't even think about them.

But my tolerance made some people ask me to ''convert" to my utter shock! Now I have become wise and don't show so much liberal enthusiasm about these things as to make people take me for granted..

I have seen interfaith and inter-caste spouses fighting with their partners about their childrens' religion and caste.

I smile to myself when I see this. Shall I tell you why?

Religion is man-made. Science is Nature or Universe made.

These interfaith and inter-caste couples may make their children accept a particular religion or caste - which are man-made and superficial, they can never change their genes.

The genes belong to both parents' lineage. You can't remove one parent's genes and ask them to select only one parent's genetic makeup.

That is the beauty of science. You just can't change the rules based on your ego or whims and fancies or beliefs.

So my vote goes to science any day.

It is the best and I follow it more than anything else.

So I try to make everyone scientifically tempered*. Come to the field of science. I want to convert you into a person of science.

"Converting people into persons of science" generally refers to a process of promoting scientific literacy, critical thinking, and a scientific approach to problem-solving among the general public, rather than literally turning everyone into professional scientists.

Key aspects of this concept include

Adopting the Scientific Method: It encourages people to use a systematic methodology based on evidence, objective observation, testing hypotheses, and making informed decisions in their daily lives.

Fostering Curiosity and Inquiry: The core idea involves nurturing a natural curiosity about the world and encouraging an "irrational passion to do science" (as one source puts it) and explore how things work.

Building Science Identity: In an educational context, it relates to helping individuals, especially students, see themselves as "science people" or as capable of engaging with scientific concepts and careers, often through mentorship and access to research opportunities.

Improving Public Engagement with Science: It can also mean making science more accessible and engaging to a wider audience, moving beyond presenting science as boring or highly specialized, and showing its practical applications and relevance to everyday life.

Valuing Evidence-Based Reasoning: Ultimately, it is about shifting cultural reliance away from pure conjecture or dogma towards a mindset that values data, evidence, and logical reasoning as a basis for understanding and decision-making.

The Universe appreciates this.

Any Objections?

*"Scientifically tempered" refers to a mindset and way of life that uses logic, rational inquiry, and the scientific method to approach problems and make decisions. It involves being open-minded to new knowledge, questioning claims, testing hypotheses, and changing beliefs based on evidence, rather than superstition or preconceived notions.

You can't change the rules of science based on your ego or whims and fancies!
