It IS the fact that science is a process of updating and refining knowledge (aka progress) that makes it not a belief system.

- The 'belief' is that science can explain the universe.Morning_star
- < yep true and along with that comes arrogance - why would a minor species like us have the capability to begin to fathom itfadein11
- The fact is that science does explain most of the universe, and does so more every day, and will continue to.monospaced
- So sure... I believe in that process of refinement. Beats the hell out of giving up and saying god did it.monospaced
- for the record I do not think God did it. But we understand a tiny amount of the universe...fadein11
- 2 examples - 1. DNA - we understand a tiny fraction of it - the rest scientists call junk DNA.fadein11
- 2. Dark energy/matter
the vast majority of material in the universe is a total mystery to scientists.fadein11 - Right. We can measure the mass of the universe and know that a majority is uncounted for. That's a hypothesis.monospaced
- I mean, dark matter is a hypothesis based on the scientific method... doesn't require belief, it's based on evidence.monospaced
- based on evidence only.monospaced
- yep i think we agree on most things.fadein11
