na, not at allReally? Science is base on sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing.

No, it's as was previously said. Science is a method. Science is, and does not require any faith or belief.Really? Science is base on sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing. Religion is based on faith. Two completely different persceptions.
When you believe in something you don't need proof, believing makes it real enough....Sorry, i'll say that better, when you believe something, it becomes real
Doesn't science need a form of belief too?
In the end, its all about what we believe, and where we look to to get our explanations for the world around us. Some look to science, others look to religion. Can't you see the similarities? In this thread already there have been accusations that others are wrong, and they are right...that sounds like perception to me
+1.No, it's as was previously said. Science is a method. Science is, and does not require any faith or belief.
That's what I meant.They aren't really answers, they are just based on the beliefs of the founders of that certain religion. They are false senses of security... filling holes which should be left humbly empty with doubt and uncertainty which is a good thing - as questioning things is how the world will continue.
It also seems to me that humans have a way of taking the easy ways out, accepting what mainstream accepts and not questioning things in their own mind and perspective. The human race is like an electrical current; we will always take the path of least resistance.
You're wrong. I can't put into words how but you're wrong.No, it's as was previously said. Science is a method. Science is, and does not require any faith or belief.
That's true.But you misunderstand *my* point. I am not religious BUT I have also come to understand through SOR the importance of religion. Essentially, for them, it *needs* no rationalising. The way they feel is enough. The way it seems to break down is this:
Religion is emotion manifest (essentially).
Science is reason manifest.
In the end, humans are not solely creatures of reason and for some people, they can't get by on fact alone. It's all about what gets you through the night, really.
I'm guessing the underline was for the belief that it has not been confirmed, but "theory" does not mean "guess" in science.(*news today, only 39% of American's "BELIEVE" in the theory of evolution??)
What do u mean by 'blind belief in science'?You're wrong. I can't put into words how but you're wrong.
Blind belief in science will lead you nowhere.
Yea dude I'm an atheist, I fully accept evolution as the current best explanation we have for the origin of species...I'm guessing the underline was for the belief that it has not been confirmed, but "theory" does not mean "guess" in science.
You observe, experiment, find patterns, formulate hypothesis, test it. If confirmed, theory.
(Apologies if you knew that )
A theory is a combining of logical evidence towards a particular notion. People don't know this, hence, "theory" is equivalent to "myth" in society.

Religion is not rational. It can't be. But it's not meant to be; if you believe in God (or who/whatever), then that religious figure is real to you, and thats all you need.
Science is rational. It has to be. You don't need to believe in gravity for it to work. science just IS.
Religion has a place in society... we just need to avoid those with fundamentalist views, and be tolerant that people may not accept what is actually physically right in front of them
I know, its horrible The main thing I can't understand is that it is removed from schools in America (ok, fine, its America, not that hard to believe). Some states have a 'choice' as to whether or not evolution is taught.I still can't believe only 39% of americans "believe" it- how does someone not believe in science? It is not a faith choice- there is rational evidence. Mose well reject all laws of physics, modern medicine, our astronomical knowledge...
What? Are you serious?With science, it is more a belief that this is all there is
Science's purpose is to push the boundaries and discover what we don't know. Discovering the facts and knowledge to fill out the doubt.With science, it is more a belief that this is all there is
US snubs film on theory of evolutionYea dude I'm an atheist, I fully accept evolution as the current best explanation we have for the origin of species...
I underlined that because I was using the american conservatives lingo...in that they stupidly (as you point out) go on about evolution being a theory as though that somehow degrades it's credibility...
I still can't believe only 39% of americans "believe" it- how does someone not believe in science? It is not a faith choice- there is rational evidence. Mose well reject all laws of physics, modern medicine, our astronomical knowledge...
The article gets it wrong. The movie isn't really about evolution - it's more about Darwin's personal life.
please explain how science involves believe, rather than physical proof.With science, it is more a belief that this is all there is
