    1. The document reflects on C.S. Lewis' film "The Magician's Twin" which argues that science can become similar to magic or religion if taken to an extreme. 2. It discusses how putting too much faith in science and technology can allow oligarchies to control populations, as science becomes divorced from ethics and humanism. 3. The document ultimately agrees with Lewis' view that while science provides benefits, it also has limits, and should not be seen as the only path to truth or meaning nor give those in power too much control over humanity. A balance is needed between science and other ways of knowing like religion, ethics and humanism.

    REFLECTION PAPER IN THE MOVIE CS


    LEWIS’
    ”THE MAGICIAN’S TWIN”
    Science is a systematic process of knowing and explaining things in this

    world. Science is similarly to magicians. A prominent film concurrence related of

    what is happening right now. Science is a twin of magician I absolutely agreed to

    C.S. Lewis. Science is strong dangerous, it can be function as religion, credulity, a

    power, and also can destroy us individually. We encountered and fighting the

    pandemic virus (CoVid19) right now. Some of us will increase the faith to Almighty

    but some are not. Some says that science is the tool and only the person rather a

    doctor will save us but some believe to the miracles. Now were encountering this,

    we must know the disadvantage of science so that we can figure out what will

    believe it or not. This film composed of collectible brilliant idea of C.S. Lewis will

    help you. . Scientism is the exorbitant faith in the intensity of scientific knowledge

    that is mostly illustrated in the film. It’s the use of systematic designs and logically

    inclined dispositions and/ or ideas that are drawn from the natural sciences which

    are then integrated to human exercises and social experiences. It is the belief that

    science is the only way to be safe in times of catastrophic events. A horrifying

    situation we had now in this generation we rely to a technology created by Science.

    And a science that hold by Oligarchy. In short oligarchy holds us. They use science
    to control us, and believe them without hesitation especially in terms of our health

    condition. For us to live we give all out for the doctors such a money, a time and

    effort for them just to heal us just like a God. Scientism leads us to an exaggerated

    trust and almost blind faith in the ability of science especially science divorced from

    God, to answer any question and solve any problem some also sees it that gives life

    and meaning. We're looking for a deception truth and science full fill it. This

    Scientism of scientific religion leads to science as power where science becomes the

    dictator of the culture.

    Science Technocracy is a proposed arrangement of administration where

    leaders are ideally chosen based on their technical ability and field of specialization.

    Since term “technocracy” was initially used to advocate the use of scientificmethods

    to address and take care of societal issues, it is somehow likened to scientism

    because this said framework expressly appears in a variety of ways in relation to the

    idea of technocrats being in total control over those people with various political

    affiliations or parliamentary abilities. At this point I totally agreed to C.S. Lewis,

    without knowing we can be a puppet of the oligarchy. Some politicians want to rule

    over the world, this actually the main driving force of science and technology.

    Individually, must think twice. We can’t rely on science itself because for me

    how they can explain that the knowledge and wisdom the scientist had come from,

    the human existences were its start and other mysteries without the creator and

    that’s God. I’ve been drowning a lot of information in this film that the atheist is

    clearly emphasis, rather scientific atheist. But C.S. Lewis film in the last part

    definitely prove that theirs a God and result to increase more my faith to the Creator.

    He made convince the one of his student which is atheist. He started from the

    argument of beauty, then the argument of morality, next is reason , the argument

    from functional complexity and finally from the laws of nature. C.S. Lewis recanted

    Anthony Flew atheism, affirmed Intelligent Design and accepted the possibility that

    the story of Jesus Christ in the New Testament documents might be plausible. Of
    course, we can deny that believing in Intelligent Design is not the same as believing

    in the Bible or believing in God in the person of Jesus Christ. However, it does

    eventually lead to the point. Additionally of what our professor told us, how will

    you explain the basis of time? There’s a Before Christ (BC) time basis. We conclude

    that God is exists a long time ago, a contradiction to the scientific religion as said in

    the film particularly a Darwinian religion. We must know the limits of science what

    shouldn't and should we do. We can prevent the good thing of science that being

    twisted by evil motive. Our scientific advancements, when put into wrong hands

    and when driven by ill intentions of powerful oligarchs, could really end up into

    something devastating and worst, the destruction of humanity. Like C.S. Lewis, I

    hoping too that a scientist will find themselves rescue science to science creating

    regenerated science of the humanity that respective human rights and honor dignity

    so that the science will be no longer a magician’s twin. Yes, we find are scientific

    utopia using this science and technology but knowing the fact that it can invent a

    human that eventually outperform us in the future. Do you think we will need us in

    future, unless you can execute greater than they invented. Science can remake the

    world. We can lessen the use of technology by appreciating the aesthetic of

    ecosystem. We must realize before the end that the ecosystem is much valuable than

    a created machine that operate by oil, battery etc. We are protector of ecosystem,

    ecosystem that no one can manipulate and a republic that no one is a puppet. We

    can gather some ideology of science but never forget the cultures that modify you of

    what who you are now, cultures that illustrate your identity. We must also respect

    what others beliefs for them it is the life and truths. It doesn’t matter of what having

    strong evidence, a power or a credulity etc. but it’s a matter of how peace and liberty

    will execute to the country.
