I didn't offer any explanation of how the system works. I don't know how you came to that. I simply asked you a question about the progression of science. One you completely ignored.

1) What it is the main driving force in humans?
It is to find limited or unlimited peace of mind and happiness or something else?
2) Can anybody be content with a limited degree of these things or not?
I never seen anybody who is content for ever with anything physical-material so my conclusion is that physical-material things can not give permanent happiness.
3) We may live longer due to physical science so we should be happy according to you.
All of this is totally irrelevant to the progression of science. Are you trying to distract me from your lack of an answer by babbling incoherently?

can not have access to this science so no matter what they will die early anyway and focus on the lucky 20% who can.
Let me guess, you pulled those statistics out of your ass.

Some may be other will not be happy no matter what.
Peace of mind and happiness don't come easily.
It is like the money that you save.
If you save you will have if not you will be penniless.
You build up your happiness, nobody else can build it up for you nor physical science can
so the living longer has not really nothing to do with happiness.
Living without peace of mind and happiness is meaningless so if physical science can not add any bonus to my life why should i be happy about?
Again we are at square 0 where it is established that physical science is not able to improve our life that is why i tell you again not to confuse a
temporary bonus with a real and permanent addendum.
Happiness is irrelevant to the progression of science.
Your entire response is completely irrelevant. You said that science isn't progressing. I pointed out all the fantastic things that science has done. You implied that you will only see science as progressing when it has eliminated death. I asked you to explain yourself. You have so far failed to do that. Please do that now. What will it take for you to think science is progressing? Eliminate death? Make people happy? What is it?

And again thanks for your intelligent points that you always make.
I know that you are always busy so it is quite understandable that you haven't always got the time to answer my queries.
Considering that in the meantime you may have forgotten
these queries i humbly beg if i can put them to you again.
1) What is the inner meaning of philosophy?
What is the inner meaning? You mean: The meaning that you have given it and everyone else's definition is wrong. The definition from wikipedia says: Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.[1][2] Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.[3] In more casual speech, by extension, "philosophy" can refer to "the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group".[4]

Religions involve worshipping a deity of some kind, usually involving reading some scripture or practicing some ritual regularly. Spirituality is different in that they don't have to worship anything. Both categories are overlapping and equally stupid.

We don't know. However, there is no evidence to suggest that a persons mind continues after their body dies.

position in society and your qualifications.
You discover a huge nugget of gold worth at least a million but this nugget is covered in dog poo.
What you do?
Do you pick it up and make it yours or you leave it there for someone else to pick it up?
I would first spray off the shit with a power hose or something like that, then retrieve the golden nugget, assuming it hasn't been claimed already of course. I would love to hear the point you're trying to make here.

Thanks in advance dear friend.
Important issues?

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
