    If you want "interesting science news," go to the Science of the Day thread. My understanding, based on the history and original post content, is that this thread is for discussing whether science is a belief system or not (it's not).

    • nope, it's just a method of figuring things out, the only onemonospaced
    • I know where you are coming from. I do understand that the definition of 'science' is essentially a process of investigation to establish the truth or otherwise of a hypothesis. However, the common understanding of what 'science' is, is evolving. Due to the agenda of fundamental atheists like Dawkins/Krauss 'science' has been promoted as the opposite position to that of religion/faith. And that is what i have a problem with. It's essentially a false dichotomy.Morning_star

    • that's mostly in reaction to fundamentalists trying to attack science educationmonospaced
    • but it is the fundamentalists themselves that are fucking up science, not the scientists themselvesmonospaced
    • Science/scientists should never have stooped so low as to engage those who think Creationism and Intelligent Design should be taught in the same breath as The Theory of Evolution. Their engagement has polarised the 'sides' even more and created a scenario where (as we can see from this thread) you are either a materialist or a religious nutter. It's just not that black and white.Morning_star

    • i'll probably continue to post science news here. i think our everyday advancements are integral to our views on science and should be considered when making broad generalizations about it, as this thread so often doesscarabin
