Something interesting occurred to me while reading that. It seems that nowadays many religions are using "scientific proof" to justify the existence of their god. When faced with the argument of "prove god exists," many come up with the line, "science requires you to accept things until proven incorrect, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!"Not-That-Bright said:How are you any less arrogant in claiming that because you know nothing the answer is that god exists?
To me saying that I have some knowledge and have come to the conclusion that god exists is better than saying because i don't have enough knowledge god must exist lol
It is both arrogant (because you are assuming your answer is right for no justified reason), and ignorant (because you're not using any observations to come to your conclusion, ignoring alot of things).
On the other hand, science is now treated as gospel. What the professors in the leading universities and institutions say CANT be wrong. The public tend to follow most of their theories, blasting anyone who says otherwise. It's a bit like the religious blasphemy of old when someone questions the findings of modern science. "How could they be wrong? They're experts!"
It seems to me that the new science is religion, and that the new religion is science- at least compared to how it presumably worked a couple of centuries ago. Interesting that.
