Topic: Is science a religion? - page 24. (Read 47434 times)

No one in their right mind would 'believe', you evaluate (all people, the end-users, and scientists) every scientific theory and evidence.  Nobody 'believes' the Big Bang happened just because they want to 'believe that it happened. There is a strong physical evidence that the universe is expanding, so assuming it has been expanding for a while, if you work out the rate backwards, you get to the singularity 14 billion years ago.  It is only logical.  Unless the rate of expansion slows down or speeds up for unknown reasons, it is reasonable to assume that we did have singularity sometime in the past.

If you are not a scientist, you normally listen to what other scientists/experts have to say, maybe take an undergrad math or physics courses to follow the math
if there are any mathematical proofs.  Everything else, you use your gray matter to evaluate what makes sense.

Religious people behave irrationally, they assume the God exist and then do everything to convince themselves that it is true.  You should start from the point that God does not exist, then prove that your assumption is false.

If God really was there don't you think we'd detect it with our space telescopes?

In science, you cannot falsify the statement 'God does not exist'. There is no physical evidence that can be studied.

The statement "God exists' can be easily falsified. There is no physical evidence.

You can forget the 'God' from the holy books. That God does not exist 100%, holy books are a bunch of ancient nonsense.

Sounds like you want to be someones BITCH?.. I believe in god and someone who is higher than above us..

And then it makes you wonder why all these politicians and leaders rob our taxes..someone who is higher than above us ..

I find if you talk to the wall you get the same effect as talking to god ..

No real scientist can believe in god ..
If you mention past scientist like 100 years ago it wont count..
To not be into god was dangerous in the olden days it could get you killed..

Now to say something made all this and then call it some type of god you are making your own god up?..

Now imagine a fuzzy ball of light caused the big bang or made the universe is the fuzzy ball of light god?..Well your saying it is?..Something must of made all this?..So if it was the fuzzy ball of light is it god?..
Now would you build a building and go and worship it ? and sing to it and make up stories about it?..

See we have gone from people saying god who was in the bible to well something made all this so must be a god..So what if it's a fuzzy ball of light is that your gods then?..

Something must of made all this?.. Obviously and with science we will find out ..

But to make a god up is stupid..Talk to the wall you get the same affect ..
Maybe that's why the Jews do it..Talk to the wall they get more answers ..

Science is not a religion, if it was then we would have churches of the big bang and worshipers going there to pray to their big bang deity.

Religion is the blind belief in a deity.

Science is a fact finding process, it has nothing to do with deities.

Well i can't really agree that scientists dont believe in god here as some of them credit whatever science accomplishes to a supreme being. For me science is based on facts and religiin is based on faith. Theres a wide gap between these two for the longest time. For me though, it dorsnt have to be that when you support scientific facts, you dont believe in god. For me belief in god is not just about religion. I believe in god and someone who is higher than above us and i support the facts science offers. 

no but still more logic than most of the others

but they believe that all has come to existence because of Science..WE DO ..
Don't you want to know how we come to be ..existence of Science..

Yes it is not a religion, science is just study of all things in this world but not a religion because religion is all about the mystery and glorious of God but science contradicts to the religion. Almost all scientists don't believe in God but they believe that all has come to existence because of Science.

You have finally admitted that god is non-facts ..

science non-facts to be factual..I DO NOT COMPUTE beep beep beep beep i need proof i need proof..

Absolutely right! Science is not religion. But when people start to believe science non-facts to be factual, especially when they KNOW that the non-facts are not factual, and especially when they become adamant ijn expression that the non-facts are factual, they have formed a science religion for themselves.

No, science is not a religion.

A religion is something that people create to believe in someone and to lean against something in difficult times.

Science is something that some very smart people try to explain (according to their best knowledge and certain) how the world was created.

What? You never watched two scientists arguing about who is right regarding some theory?

Essentially, religion is simply doing and living what one believes to be the truth.

Scientists absolutely DO conduct experiments when they know something couldn't happen.

Nobody understands the process whereby the universe came into being. Scientists become scientists so that they can find out about the processes. Why do they want to find out? Because the universe is an impossibility, except that it exists.

So far, the only evidence and proof that we have that the universe can exist is, it is that it is here.

Scientific theories are questioned, validated in the lab.  When there is no experiment to disprove them, them become a scientific fact.  Evolution is a very good example.

The conflict between science and religion is not and cannot be. Scientists are not contentious people. Religious organizations in conflict with other including with scientists because they are afraid of losing power over the people.

this is what im talking about. you cant just judge the existence of science without any proof or basing to other things. scientist research long time just to make our world better, you cant just judge their researches that short period of time when you only have just a theory. scientist is basing their theory on what they guess that can be proven. they dont conduct an experiment if they know that it couldnt happen.

Much of the time, science theories are made up of two or more science laws. These laws are joined together in a way that nobody knows can work. It seems logical that it might work this way, but nobody knows it for sure. That is why the theory is called a theory, until it is prove that the science laws can work together this new way.

Who denies the science of religion. Some mystery solution is not possible without religion, science, and religion is complementary to one another. Birth gives some sense atheism of science, it is not just those who are atheists atheist it for ever, and they assert that atheism in the name of science. So there is no conflict between science and religion.

i think evolution is changing from time to time, it could be for the better one or for the bad one. science theories is just a theory meaning not yet proven and in the progress of research. where theories are just an intellectual guess, they are just basing on what they are seeing.

Evolution is a good example of what? Being disproved - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1454732.0? Evolution in the lab being proven, is only an example of how the definition of "evolution" has been changed over the years, because it was found that the old definition was easily proven false. So, even the definition of evolution is evolving. Wullah! Proof for evolution.

Your explanation of how science theories work is only partially correct, just like the theories themselves. Beginning to think that you are just a theory.

That's why believing science theory to be fact, when one knows that it is not known to be fact, is giving up your reasoning ability for faith. There is religion in believing science theories to be factual without knowing it.
