In Crito, Plato says that one can betray your own values if it is for the common good of the law. And if it you live in a city, you have to follow that city's laws.
Something like this happened in the movie Agora, when they destroy the library, also when Orestes doesn't betray his values and then he does. Also with Hypatia's dad, when he declares that they can fight the other religion.
You never know who is going to have the real truth. Like in the movie, one didnt know if the Jews, Christians or Greeks were right. This relates to what Armando says about approximations and that nothing can really be proved. The same thing can be seen in The Fire in the Equations. Which is the real theory that originated the word? The Big bang? the universe just was? God?
Is there a way to prove all of this?
We would need a leap of faith.
We can never really prove anything to be certain in science and religion.
Usually, they teach us that we cant question that leap of faith and this is why religions crash.
Sometimes questioning can be uncomfortable, that is why people don't question religion and science. In science people might be afraid to question because it means that they are entering an unknown place and they might not have the answers.
In science, not everything can be proved y this creates a risk to our identity. We reach the point in which we cant prove anything and we only believe what we like and what we believe to be pretty.
If we could prove something with certainty, there wouldn't be any rooms for faith.
