Hold on. Full stop for a second.
Not acccording to fundamentalists
People will throw scientific studies around like they are the word of 'God'. As defined above. I _know_ you've seen this. The scientific _philosophy_ knows its fallible.
People that reference science do so with little imagination for any other possibility.
This is something religious people will do too.
I think you miss understand science
I don't.
It’s all theories and tests
Yes, it is.
Nobody says science can’t change
But the word of god doesn’t change
But this is not how it is _used_ or thought of by society.
People _do_ rely on science as a 'truthful' guide. Even when science does change.
I don’t see people going to worship science on a weekend
Lol
You do, actually.
How so?
Not in the same way
You see it used often in specific ideologies. Including your own, probably. But any ideology that cites 'scientific data' as a resource of belief.
It's almost _exactly_ the same.
That doesn't really matter though.
We'll use feminism, I guess.
You've seen feminists cite bad science to give credibility to their worldview, I'm sure.
1 in 4 men, for example.
Science is derivative of the 'truth' concept developed by religion, too.
Again, that doesn't really matter, just an aside.
Look at Bill Nye the Science Guy's new show.
I think you are muddling point of view and taking things out of context
As that’s what science says
No the actual tests should be the honesty
Not someone’s wired article on AI
I'm muddying nothing. I'm trying to bring clarity to you about how science is corrupted to dubious end like religion can be.
Oh yes I see that it can be corrupted
Sure
Doesn’t make it a belief system
Like religion
It ... is a belief system. You can ask other atheists what they believe in.
As with science you can duplicate the results
And they'll tell you science and reason or some other version of it.
