You don't understand science is just application of philosophywhat about being dismissive of science in order to make edgy threads on looksmax
Yeah, i hate all that thinking shitthere are people dimissive of ALL philosophy?
wrongtheology underpins everything
science requires faith tooAnother one is rejecting all science because it conflicts some of their viewpoints.
They always have the same talking points, saying "science is the new religion" afterwards. This is a diss towards religion as they admit they believe both are in completely blind and retarded faith.
ur right tbhYou don't understand science is just application of philosophy
And there must be something wrong with your brain if legitimate criticisms concerning epistemological advancement is the content you consider edgy in a sea of race bait, misogyny and 12 year olds flirting with fascism
There's a big difference in faith and blind faith.science requires faith too
if an experiment gives me the same outcome one million times in a row, how can I conclude the result of the one million and first result without blind faith?
Uniformitarianism - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
you have blind faith in the invariance of the metaphysical principles underpinning science
doesn't matter. all of these are based on the principle of uniformitarianism, which you have no evidence forThere's a big difference in faith and blind faith.
Blind faith is believing in YHVH the Abrahamic God and everything in his books, there's no hard evidence for this.
Whereas when I see countless scientific studies and experiments that further support things such as the laws of thermodynamics. One is substantiated the other isn't. Of course there's an element of faith put into this, there's an element of faith put into everything you believe. But these two are clearly different.
The response to this is simple. Science isn't invincible. Science is a tool constructed by humans to analyze and utilize their surroundings. Science is always changing and evolving as more people contribute to it.doesn't matter. all of these are based on the principle of uniformitarianism, which you have no evidence for
my response is simple: no matter how much science "evolves" it doesn't change the categorical fact that it relies on an unprovable assumption akin to the existence of a deityThe response to this is simple. Science isn't invincible. Science is a tool constructed by humans to analyze and utilize their surroundings. Science is always changing and evolving as more people contribute to it.
Whereas Abrahamic religion is unchanging, even as we unearth countless fossils across the world that debunk the 7 day creation myth, it doesn't change. Supposedly it's the word of God so no one wants to change it. But there's nothing to substantiate this.
You probably saw some retard online and fell for the "science is the new religion!" meme.
Religion has simply not achieved as much as scientific theory has in it's relatively short lifetime. When religion creates the computer you reply to this post on, tell me. Religion will keep slipping away until God reveals himself to us.
Well so far these universal laws we've established have treated us very very VERY well, better than any other time period in history. So if you want to assert a universe with such fundamental inconsistency you need to bring evidence that it's true.my response is simple: no matter how much science "evolves" it doesn't change the categorical fact that it relies on an unprovable assumption akin to the existence of a deity
you rn:
(and science isn't the new religion btw, both are just philosophy)
if you think fascism is infantile youre a midwitYou don't understand science is just application of philosophy
And there must be something wrong with your brain if legitimate criticisms concerning epistemological advancement is the content you consider edgy in a sea of race bait, misogyny and 12 year olds flirting with fascism
you are moving the goalposts here, I love science and am not discrediting its obvious achievements.Well so far these universal laws we've established have treated us very very VERY well, better than any other time period in history. So if you want to assert a universe with such fundamental inconsistency you need to bring evidence that it's true.
Else you can keep posting crying wojaks on the computer that exists because of the same "unproveable assumptions" you decry.
if you think fascism is infantile youre a midwit
Everything we believe in ultimately has an element of faith in it, this is undeniable.you are moving the goalposts here, I love science and am not discrediting it's obvious achievements.
to be clear: I am not taking a position here, whereas you are. I am merely stating the categorical fact that if science relies on an unprovable assumption then it is based on faith.
exactly, now you get itEverything we believe in ultimately has an element of faith in it
even athiesm requires faith -> negative faith, the faith in that something does not existEverything we believe in ultimately has an element of faith in it, this is undeniable.
Is science special to you in this regard?
Also calling something an "unproveable assumption is so retarded and arbitrary.
I can't prove I'm not a brain in the vat. That changes nothing, I make do with the laws and rules I can observe.
so the time and spacial invariance of natural laws isn't dogma?Science has NEVER been a religion, a religion is dogma which can NEVER BE PROVEN WRONG. GOD'S WORD IS FINAL. Whereas in science we recognise there are FLAWS in our knowledge and things are subject to change. And so thus "science is the new religion" cannot really be true. The only people who take science as a religion are reddit users
I am not a physicst so you might have to expand on that a bit my friend. I am only a mere biologistso the time and spacial invariance of natural laws isn't dogma?
Yes. Personally I'm not a straight up atheist myself it seems very shortsighted, I'm agnostic.even athiesm requires faith -> negative faith, the faith in that something does not exist
If you were to create theory which depended upon your brain being in a vat then it would be fair to say that it is a belief system and requires faithAlso calling something an "unproveable assumption" is so retarded and arbitrary, literally everything can be called an "unproveable assumption".
I can't prove I'm not a brain in the vat. That changes nothing, I make do with the laws and rules I can observe.
when did you stop being a retarded userAll i know is that there is no argument for causality as described by modern science.
basically philosophy is the bedrock behind everything, and he's saying that people who don't worry or think it's retarded are the actual retards. I do agree with this, philosophy after all is finding meaning and understanding in our existence. If you reject that simple concept than just die because there is honestly no point in you being here if you can not find a meaning to exist.i dont understand a single thing in this thread
Many people consider the thoughts and actions of Hindu nationalists fascists.
Still salty because i bodied u in the IQ debate.when did you stop being a retarded user
