Science: Where Mankind oversteps his boundaries.

"When you have knowledge, its hard not to test it at least once."

I was watching Fullmetal Alchemist today. It was the episode where Tucker, the Sewing Life Alchemist, had his assessment coming up, and he produced another talking chimera by fusing his own daughter and his dog. As I watched Ed and Al's reaction, and the pain Tucker's daughter was put through, I thought to myself: why do we always try to become God? To try to overstep our place? Science has been both a blessing and a curse. Knowledge is power. Yet we want to "know it all." With the Tower of Babel we tried to reach to the heavens. Look how that turned out.

We have been given everything we need. There is no need to look beyond what we have already been blessed with. The way to heaven is not through tremendous actions or leaps that defy all understanding: it is faith that opens the door.
