Science is now a religion.

Science is now a religion. Science has now has rules that must be obeyed and ideas that cannot be challenged. Of course I do not blame science or the scientific community. I blame the dolts who suddenly love and worship "science". Because of these people things like Darwinism and the big bang are [b]law[/b]. Not to be challenged in anyway whatsoever. But anyone who actually loves science would know that this just simply isn't the case. Anyone who actually enjoys science would know that all science is up for debate as long as you have evidence to back you up. Only science can "fight" science. Things like the big bang can be debated. But if you deny you'll get a bunch of "science lovers" ganging up on you. The big bang isn't law. It's just a widely accepted idea in the scientific community. There are other theories and there is evidence against it. There are scientist who don't believe in it. All science is up for debate. I made this post because there are a lot of people who don't understand what science is. They fail to understand that it's something that is always changing and isn't written in stone. So don't day things like [quote]it's not debatable[/quote] (an actual quote) Basically what I'm trying to say is just keep an open mind when it comes to science. Don't just shut your mind out to other not as known ideas. [spoiler]Note* I do believe in evolution and the big bang theory. I only used them as example because they're talked about a lot on this site. [/spoiler] Originally posted: July, 19 2015

    1+1 = 2 Its not debatable. Atoms are 90% empty space Thats debatable. You wont fall through the floor just because the empty spaces lined up. Millions of years of people not falling through the floor have made this a fact. Its not debatable. Some things are fact. Debating fact is for bad sci-fi writers. Edit: stupid me i took the bait. Troll post is haunted by a troll

    • Science isn't a religion silly. It's an academic field, and a very important one too.

            Theories do not become laws as a form of validation. You've effectively said nothing but a misunderstanding of the classification system the science community uses. Also, the counters to the Big Bang really only concern little inconsistencies in the theory, other than that it's truth-value exists within empiricism. So it's not really "just an idea." Sure, questioning everything we know is the support beam holding up the scientific mind, and keeps it sustained over time, however it's just silly to completely dismiss something with as much evidence as the Big Bang due to small inconsistencies. It's something you do with the preconception that the Big Bang should be dismissed due to personal ideology. My point is, surely question it, but understand what is being said in the theory is pretty rock solid until we get to the extremes, such as the beginning of the universe, but for something that's only been being discussed for 80 years, our knowledge on the manner and the support for the theory has only grown. I'm just clarifying what seems to me is a misunderstanding.

              • According to the Oxford English dictionary religion is; [i]the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.[/i] Now, since that obviously doesn't apply to science, would you like to try again?

                  The funniest part about religious wackos who call science a "religion" is that they are using the word "religion" as an insult. Bottom line is that even Christians know how insulting religion is. Well, that backfired on you, OP.

                      • The only unbreakable law in science is that every idea can be challenged. I don't think you understand the difference between the scientific method and people who misunderstand it.

                          • Also half the atheists act just as douchy and rude as conservative christian, and i absolutely hate when rude atheists judge all religion based on one or two. I am a christian and most modern christians (or atleast candians lol) dont actually care about if someone is gay or of a different religion or if they're atheist etc, me and my fellow christians know the basics of christianity and that is love all, whether they sin, or if they dont share the same religion it doesnt matter, we believe in love, forgiveness, and respect. Everything is flawed. And i have deep respect for everyone. The only reason why it seems that the majority of catholics or christians appear to be racist homophobic's is because lol everyone knows that people with the most hate have the loudest voices.

                              I agree, so many aspects of science which are just Ideas, or interpretations are being overly mislabeled as truths or realities.... and apparently some aspects of the scientific world In their theories and Ideas, are being misrepresented by the majority of people... They are becoming just as bad, if not worse, than religious extremists... (those I personally would be classifying as having a science religion, which I consider to be an odd term)

                              • There is evidence Gravity is not a force, or at the very least not how we grew up to understand it. It is certainly possible there are other common beliefs in the scientific community that are wrong right now. I can understand where the OP is coming from relating to the dogma within the scientific community right now concerning topic such as climate change. I hope science doesn't become blind, but there are topics that are off limits right now.

                                      • So, since we've now established in my previous post that science is [b]not[/b] a religion, are you going to change your post to reflect this? Since honesty is supposedly a Christian trait, I would think you'd be trying to be truthful. Practice what you preach.
