Science is often presented as the ultimate path to truth. Its discoveries have given humanity medicine, technology, and astonishing control over nature. Yet, science has also been used to deceive — not through experiments, but through arrogance, censorship, and the refusal to admit limits. Generations have lived under dogmas dressed as science, mistaking theories for facts and speculation for certainty.

Evolution Without Answers
Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution reshaped biology. But does it explain everything? The fossil record reveals vast gaps. The Cambrian Explosion, around 541 million years ago, saw the sudden appearance of most major animal groups within a short geological window. Where are the gradual transitional forms Darwin predicted? Genetics has explained variation within species, but the origin of complexity, consciousness, and sudden leaps remains unsolved. Still, children are taught that evolution is a “complete fact.”

The Big Bang Illusion
Cosmology tells us that 13.8 billion years ago, the universe emerged from a singularity — an infinitesimal point of “nothing.” But what is “nothing”? Physicists like Lawrence Krauss redefine “nothing” as quantum fields and energy fluctuations — in other words, something. Sir Roger Penrose has argued that time cannot simply “begin.” Yet, the Big Bang is declared settled truth, while alternative cosmologies are ignored. Humanity is asked to accept paradox as fact.

Consciousness Denied
Perhaps the greatest deception is how science treats consciousness. Billions of people experience meditation, prayer, transcendence — yet mainstream science reduces consciousness to brain chemistry. David Chalmers calls this the “hard problem”: why does matter give rise to experience at all? Despite decades of neuroscience, no answer exists. Still, the narrative continues: consciousness is an illusion, spirit is myth, only matter is real. Entire generations have been taught to distrust their deepest inner experiences.

Censorship in the Name of Science
The real problem is not ignorance but intolerance. Scientists who question dogma are branded as pseudo-scientists. New ideas struggle to find journals. Funding is denied to research that challenges orthodoxy. Galileo was not the last heretic; modern academia has its own Inquisitions, subtler but no less real.

The Indian Alternative
Indian civilization approached science differently. It acknowledged uncertainty and plurality. Cosmology described endless cycles of creation and dissolution. Biology was seen as evolution through yugas and transformations, echoed in the Dashavatara sequence. Consciousness was treated as fundamental reality (chaitanya), not a byproduct. Instead of silencing doubt, India encouraged śāstrārtha — open debate.

Conclusion
Science is not the enemy; dogmatism is. The lies of science are not in the lab, but in the claim of finality. Truth is bigger than equations and theories. Humanity has been deceived into mistaking partial knowledge for ultimate reality. The question is: will we keep worshiping dogma, or dare to expand science with humility and openness?
