Does the Quran support Theocracy?

   What about the threat of nuclear annihilation, global warming, brainwashing techniques used by oppressive regimes, disinformation campaigns that are being carried out by the authoritarian block of countries (China + Iran + Russia), the corruption of our food supply, the pollution of space, the risk of war in space, 1 in 8 people being hungry in the world although we have enough food to feed 16 billion people if we want to…
 
   Don’t get me wrong. Science is a wonderful thing. But in spirituality the Mind (the Buddhi which is the main instrument of modern science) is seen as a dissection instrument. It helps us to dissect everything (in the same way we dissected frogs and cockroaches in junior high). We went as far as dividing atoms in order to understand it. Yet, (and I am asking this as a historian of some sort) do you believe we are happier or even better than ancient Egyptians for instance?
 
In most developed countries suicide is the second cause of death among young people (the first cause is traffic accidents). I just saw a documentary on the migrants drowning in the Rio Grande being unable to cross into Texas illegally. So you would probably agree that not everything that we observe in this world of science and technology is working for the good of us all right?
 
So if science (or politics) doesn’t solve this then how would you solve it (meaning all of those existential threats we are facing right now) if we were to throw away all forms of religion and spirituality today?
 

 (Replying by paragraph - easier than splitting it up)

1. What about them? The reason science doesn’t address these things is political, no scientific. And the reason we can feed 16 billion people (if true) is does to things like agronomics and pest control. The reason we don’t is political.

2. How many people does spirituality feed? How many diseases does spirituality inoculate against? Your question about the ancient Egyptians is unanswerable as asked. But I can see that I’m happier in the here-and-now than I would be if I were suddenly transported back to the Fifth Dynasty.

3. Why do you think suicide rates are as high as they are? One reason is lack of access to mental health care. As for car crash deaths, not all the science in the world can’t fix stupid, dangerous behaviour.

4. Loaded question. Simply because science and political will hasn’t accomplished something doesn’t mean they can’t. What problems of human existence has spirituality solved?
