Can't say I'm surprised by the amount of people who don't really understand the field of science. And people wonder why we lack domestic engineers and scientists.

[quote]Are you one of those people who don't "understand the field of science"?[/Quote] Based on the comment you're replying to, it's pretty moronic to ask this question. [Quote]Because your arguments are terrible and display a woeful "lack of understanding" of science and the philosophy of science.[/quote] Yet I haven't seen you reply to one of them, better yet contradict any of my replies. As an engineering student, I couldn't care less about the "philosophy of science", I only care about its applicability and approach to reality. Don't waste my time replying to my comment if you don't have anything of value to contribute.

And is that the fault of those who don't know? Or those who do, but act so damn superior about it? Your obviously a reasonably intelligent person. If you really feel that way, do some thing to change it! If you already are and do, I tip my hat to you.

People seem to want to know more about the field of science, but they don't want to take the time to learn the branches. People like to comment on science related subjects, yet know nothing about it. The OP is a prime example. There's not much I can do about that. It's up to the individual to educate themselves about things they're interested in. Perhaps the school system needs to be refined, but thats in the realm of politics. Sure, I sometimes discuss things that are out of my field, but I never claim to be an expert on something when I'm not, nor do I try to use pseudo intellect to degrade a group of people.

You definitely have some good points there. But the education one, it [i]is[/i] currently in the realm of politics but it shouldn't be. Neither should health care, transportation, etc. Sorry, tangent again. You may disagree with this, but i think the big "science v religion" argument the OP has tried to discuss boiled down to verifiable fact v unverifiable belief. I chose verifiable fact. You?

It had more to do with coexistence, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd choose verifiable fact.

Me too. On a personal level though, the message behind many religious teachings on how to be a better individual are definitely able to coexist with scientific reasoning. It's the organised religions that oppress and deride scientific knowledge and advances that can create some truly ignorant people.
