Have you ever actual met any scientists Sriram?
You do seem to have a peculiarly blinkered view on people in that profession. It is of course true that scientists will necessarily study a small part of something, as you might see it, in great detail. But that certainly does not mean they do not care about, nor understand the bigger picture. Usually it is because the bigger picture makes no sense until you understand the details.
And of course you also need to understand the details to be able to use knowledge to improve the world - you cannot build a bridge unless you understand the details of the materials you might use, the design and the requirement of that design (such as weight it is required to carry) - if you try to build that bridge without that knowledge it will collapse. You cannot develop cures for diseases without understanding the details of the disease process.
So you can post all you like your patronising tropes on scientists:
This is why, scientists, generally speaking, cannot be relied upon to contribute effectively to a Big Picture view of the world taking into account all its experiential and spiritual aspects. They will automatically limit themselves only to a microscopic view. This is an important conclusion we can draw.I'd say that scientists have devoted themselves to addressing the biggest pictures of them all - the nature of the universe; the development of life and its evolution, the complex ecosystems of our planet, the incredible neurobiology of the human brain; the remarkable and complex behaviours of animal and plant species etc etc.
I am afraid that it is people whose world view is tunnel vision limited by the blinkers of a man made god who are really failing to get the big picture. To get the big picture you need to recognise that the universe does not revolve around people and that the notion of 'purpose' and 'meaning' are peculiarly human-centric concerns and have no 'big picture' value in universal terms.
