Can you produce engineer, doctor, accountant, scientist and etc that are needed to develop a nation or weapons that are needed to defend a nation from tahfiz school?
Shhhhhh...........the founder of Judaism wouldn't have expected or predicted such an effect.
But, absolutely! Because clearly, the only way a religion that’s been around for over 1,400 years and spans billions of people could ever be weakened is by a secret conspiracy. Forget internal politics, economic challenges, or global dynamics—it must all be part of the grand Jewish plot. How else would anything happen in the world, right?
Absolutely, it depends on how a country stay away from getting caught with hutang keliling pinggang and paying high interests - ultimately this excess money will indirectly go to fuel wars around the world- oppressing the weak
So, it all depends how a country do the annual budgeting - excellent ones make progress to heaven for the whole nation; bad decision gets the nation to the wrong destination (hell for all)
Whether peace, prosperity, war, or suffering dominates the world often hinges on the choices made by individuals, governments, and societies. The metaphorical "heaven" and "hell" can indeed be seen in the physical realities of different nations.
Building Peace and Prosperity ("Heaven on Earth"): Good Governance and Financial Prudence: Effective budgeting and resource allocation are fundamental to fostering national prosperity. When a country avoids excessive debt and mismanagement, it can invest in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and sustainable development, uplifting the well-being of its citizens. Justice and Equity: Ensuring that wealth is distributed equitably, opportunities are accessible, and systems of justice are fair helps create societies where people feel secure and hopeful. Environmental Stewardship: Nations prioritizing renewable energy, conservation, and long-term ecological balance tend to create environments that are sustainable and nurturing, where future generations can thrive.
Creating Suffering and War ("Hell on Earth"): Corruption and Exploitation: Corrupt governance, when resources are misappropriated or squandered, often leads to economic collapse, unemployment, and social unrest. The burden of mismanagement and excess debt can ripple through generations. Inequity and Oppression: Countries that concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few, while oppressing the majority, breed resentment and social fragmentation, leading to violence, civil wars, and suffering. Military Aggression and Imperialism: Money spent on militarization and warfare fuels global conflicts, often benefiting powerful elites while leaving destruction and poverty in its wake. The oppressed are left vulnerable and marginalized.
The Role of Annual Budgeting: As mentioned, how a country plans its finances reflects its priorities. An enlightened, sustainable budget can lead to peace, education, healthcare, and stability, while poor financial planning—especially with excessive borrowing—can lead to economic dependency and fuel conflicts that propagate suffering.
In essence, the "heaven" or "hell" we experience on Earth is largely the result of the decisions we collectively make. From how countries manage debt to how they allocate resources, every action shapes the global landscape of peace or conflict. It highlights the role of leadership, foresight, and collective responsibility in shaping a better future.
One of the reasons mankind relying on religion maybe because of fear, the unknown death. “未知生,焉知死?” Ancient great philosopher Confucius explained what is life and death.
Prophet Dickens expresses the correct idea that, just as we did not suffer or feel anything before birth, death might bring a similar state of peaceful nothingness, free from suffering.
In fact, to live eternally is the real suffering paradoxically!! As the trueest ever prophet says, "To live eternally is to suffer indefinitely!".......................hehe

They are not foolish. Consciousness is a product of the brain’s physical processes. This is based on extensive evidence that changes in brain structure and function directly impact conscious experience.
Neural Correlates of Consciousness: Modern neuroscience has identified brain networks closely tied to conscious experience, such as the Default Mode Network (DMN) and the Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW). Functional MRI (fMRI) and other brain imaging techniques show that specific patterns of neural activity correlate with various states of consciousness, such as wakefulness, attention, and self-awareness.
These findings suggest that consciousness is inextricably linked to brain function. If certain parts of the brain are damaged or non-functional, consciousness is altered or lost, implying that the brain is necessary for its generation.
Occam’s Razor: The principle of Occam’s Razor suggests that the simplest explanation that accounts for all the evidence is usually the best. The evidence overwhelmingly supports the view that consciousness is a product of physical brain processes. Introducing a non-physical, supernatural, or extra-brain consciousness adds unnecessary complexity to the explanation without empirical support.
Evidence from Coma and Brain Death Clinical cases of coma and brain death illustrate the direct relationship between the brain’s functioning and consciousness:
Coma: When certain brain regions are damaged, particularly those involved in arousal and awareness, people fall into comas, where they lose consciousness. These states are reversible in some cases, demonstrating the dependence of consciousness on specific neural activity. Brain Death: In cases of brain death, where all brain activity ceases, there is no recovery of consciousness. Brain-dead individuals cannot think, feel, or perceive.
Split-Brain Experiments: In patients who have undergone corpus callosotomy (a procedure to sever the connection between the two brain hemispheres), their consciousness appears to split. Each hemisphere seems to have its own distinct awareness, pointing again to the role of the brain in generating unified conscious experience. If consciousness were not dependent on brain function, we would not expect such profound changes in memory, identity, and awareness with changes in brain structures.
Brain Evolution: Higher-order consciousness, including self-awareness, appears in species with highly developed brains, like humans, primates, and some mammals. As the brain evolved more complex structures, such as the prefrontal cortex, consciousness emerged as a way to process information, anticipate outcomes, and navigate complex social environments.
Soul? The idea that consciousness can exist without a functioning brain is not supported by scientific evidence. All available data suggest that consciousness is deeply tied to the brain’s physical processes. The fallacy lies in assuming that consciousness is an independent entity when it is, in fact, an emergent property of brain activity. Whether through clinical evidence, evolutionary theory, or neuroscientific research, the physical brain is shown to be essential for generating and maintaining consciousness. Attempts to separate the two introduce speculative and unsupported claims that fail to account for the wealth of evidence linking consciousness to neural function.
What is that so bothering you if you are not sure what I actually implied?

Unlike PAS, science is fundamentally about challenging ideas to make progress, not about badmouthing, slandering or discrediting others for personal or political gain.
Wake up! At its core, science operates through a rigorous process of inquiry, skepticism, and continuous questioning, with the aim of improving understanding and advancing knowledge. To conflate this with badmouthing—an attack on individuals or ideas based on malice or personal bias—completely misunderstands the nature of scientific inquiry.
One of the hallmarks of science is peer review and open criticism of ideas. This is not an attack on the individuals proposing these ideas, but a way to test, refine, and improve theories. Every hypothesis must withstand scrutiny and be open to falsification. The entire scientific process depends on the willingness to challenge prevailing assumptions to uncover the truth.
According to Prophet Popper, falsifiability is the idea that for a hypothesis to be scientific, it must be testable and capable of being proven wrong. This principle encourages scientists to challenge ideas and find weaknesses in them, not out of malice, but as a way of advancing understanding.
Every groundbreaking theory—whether Newton’s laws, Darwin’s theory of evolution, or Einstein’s theory of relativity—was subjected to rigorous debate and scrutiny before being accepted by the scientific community. Unlike badmouthing, where the intent is often to undermine or humiliate, the critique in science is designed to strengthen ideas by addressing their limitations and proposing improvements. Without science many parts of the world would still live in darkness. And many children's brain development would be compromised.
The scientific method demands open-mindedness and the willingness to revise or discard even deeply held ideas if evidence contradicts them. This is not a form of antagonism or bad-mouthing, but a commitment to truth over personal belief or dogma.
Thie whole process isn’t about badmouthing any caveman's age claimant - it’s about ensuring that the conclusions drawn are valid and can be trusted to be conveyed to the young ones
Focus on Ideas, Not Individuals: The scientific community is careful to critique ideas and results, not the people behind them. When scientists argue against a theory, they are addressing the methodology, data, or logic, not engaging in personal attacks. In fact, many scientists work collaboratively, challenging each other’s ideas in the pursuit of better answers.
Badmouthing, by contrast, is about denigrating individuals, often based on personal grudges or emotional reactions. Science, by nature, rejects such behaviors because they do nothing to advance the pursuit of knowledge.
Refining Ideas: Many scientific breakthroughs have arisen from failed experiments or the realization that existing theories were incomplete or incorrect. For example, the shift from Newtonian physics to Einstein’s theory of relativity was not an attack on Newton but an evolution in understanding.
Science thrives on its iterative nature—each new piece of evidence, whether it supports or contradicts current ideas, is valuable. The process of refining and updating theories based on new data is how science progresses. This iterative process is fundamentally incompatible with badmouthing, which seeks to tear down rather than build up.
Science stands in contrast to dogma, which resists change and criticism. In dogmatic systems, questioning established ideas is seen as a threat, and dissent is often met with personal attacks or dismissal. Science, however, encourages questioning as a means of achieving a deeper understanding.
Rejection of Certainty: True science avoids claiming absolute certainty. It is always open to being challenged and revised in light of new evidence. This constant questioning is not about badmouthing but about humility in the face of complexity.
