The holy faith of reformed samaritanism

Science is good. But it would be naive to think that science will always be completely objective, and
never be biased by powerful external forces (big pharmaceuticals companies; banking and monetary
interests; social, cultural, and political agendas; etc). Besides, we must keep in mind that “Too much
East, is West”. In other words, abstract science has to be guided by both common sense, as well as
objective reality [“the cart must follow the horses!”]. Believe in science, but keep in mind that “reality
is reality”, while science can only be [at best] an approximation of such reality. Don’t make the mistake
of becoming so enthusiastic with science, that you end up trying to force objective [observable] reality
to conform to abstract science, instead of trying to make abstract science conform to objective
[observable] reality. 
The future is not written on stone, as prayer can change things for good

Hebrew Scripture teaches that prayer can change things for good. And the proof? King Hezekiah, who was 
told he would never arise from his sickbed, but actually did, after pouring his heart before God: «In those 
days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, 
“Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live”.. Then he [Hezekiah] turned 
his face to the wall and prayed to Adonai…. [and then answered to him saying] Thus saith the Lord, the God 
of David thy father, “I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day 
thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord”» - 2 Kings 20:1, 2 &5. Thus, the death decree upon king 
Hezekiah was torn apart by his sincere prayer.
