Extreme irony at that...since many scientist follow any particular religion. They delve into the realm of science when their faith can't answer those burning questions which they can explore. But for every find more questions arise.

When people realize that science and faith go hand and hand maybe we can stop having these ridiculing threads that do nothing more than make people angry.:pick:


science and religion does not go hand in hand that is definitely a lie

Science basically already works like religion.

'Someone with influence that seems like they know what they're talking about has a theory. Goes out and confirms said theory however they see fit. Then publishes it and distributes it as fact for all of us to accept.'

Most people don't go and empirically test scientific theories themselves. they just follow the word of the most popular "specialist" of said science and call it fact. Exactly as religion does...

If you do go out and test a theory for yourself and come up with a different result they'll simply say the conditions weren't exactly the same. (User Error)

If you test anything in religion and don't get the same result.. It's because your faith is too weak/impatient. (User Error)

This is 100% correct if you don't understand how Science works.

Learn and understand this before making nonsensical claims about Science.

Lol my statement was this but condensed. People cant be trusted to be completely unbiased and critically objective. Even if i believe 'm following said structure carefully, there's still instinct and confirmation bias that could subconsciously cause me to gloss over the steps and omit important information. Not to mention straight up, lack of information which causes me to speculate ad guesstimate. it also doesn't diminish the point that 90% of any one that believes in anything (scientific or not) just skips to the most popular results and forms an opinion.

For example believing that the world is round. i do because that simply makes the most sense to me and i've been told that my entire life. But i've never measured for myself and confirmed it first hand and most likely never will. i just assume the people that claim to have reached this "fact" via necessary research and analysis know what they are talking about. people that claim to have objectively walked through the scientific method you presented. i'm willing to bet you (and even most scientists) more or less blindly follow many "facts" in the same manor. very much like people of faith.

If you can't follow the steps in an experiment wouldn't that be your own fault? There's no bias if the steps are clear cut like in a scientific experiment.

Not to mention straight up, lack of information which causes me to speculate ad guesstimate.
What are you even talking about? If at any point during the experiment you find yourself speculating or guesstimating, you aren't doing it right. Either that or it's not a good experiment and its hypothesis will never be shared with the public on any serious platform.

it also doesn't diminish the point that 90% of any one that believes in anything (scientific or not) just skips to the most popular results and forms an opinion.
Where did you pull this bullshit stat from?

There are so many ways that you can.

I don't agree with what you're saying. Partially because it makes no sense, and partially because you're wrong with what I think I understand from it.

Seems like you put a lot of trust into human nature. People lie, cheat, assume and cut corners. Kind of a lot. Sometimes Subtly and sometimes blatantly. Either way to assume every experiment is done with out any bias or corruption is naive.

Lol well if you're gonna sit here and say you've personally replicated every experiment you've ever heard of and confirmed everything you think is fact you're full of it.
