It's all about our personal beliefs.
For me, my personal belief is that science is an atheistic religion.
For me religion has nothing to do with god or spirituality.
Just a group of people who say that their way is the only way.
and fatcat, who made you the absolute authority anyhow?
You just come off as a self important jackass.
Who called me an absolute authority? I certainly didn't.
I just happen to be smart enough to know what science actually is, and its not "
Just a group of people who say that their way is the only way".
I already linked you once to a fairly brief overview of what science actually is. It's not a group, its not a knowledge base, its not a set of dictats, its a set of
fluid principles for discerning reliable information about the universe.
Science can never be wrong about anything because science isn't a point of view. The only thing that can be wrong is a theory or an opinion, and the only way you can come to the correct or more correct (as science works on working models not absolute certainty), is by using the scientific method. The scientific method itself has been refined over the last thousands of years. Every part of science is centered around getting a better understanding of the universe.
Thats what makes people like you so fucking stupid when you say stuff like "science can't answer everything". If something exists, then it has to be provable by science. People only like saying it can't because A) they don't know what science is and B) if they acknowledge what science really is, it means they can't believe in stupid bullshit like gods and healing crystals, which are believed on feelings and anecdotal evidence, not fact, which means they exist outside of "the realm of science" because they're just made up.
If we come up against something that our current theories can't explain, then we adapt them to fit the new information. There have been many discoveries that have completely changed, such as
wave-particle duality or
quantum entanglementYou know what happened? Scientists didn't say,
well this doesn't fit with what we already know so it can't possibly be right, it was observed, tested, retested and made subject to peer review, and a new working model of physics was born that encompassed this new information.
I pray to science that you're really just a troll, cause your "everything is just a personal belief" attitude is really fucking stupid.
