Religion is supposed to be a generational pursuit of truth and it tends to be written in a way that's difficult to decipher due to sheer age and how people conceptualized.
All the holy books are man made
Change my mind
So is science.
Yea but science doesn’t claim to be the word of god
Science is highly fallible, yet people claim it _is_ the word of God. Here, we'll change a few things so you understand my perspective.
Science knows it’s fallable
God is the unalterable forces operating in the universe, the 'truth' of the universe.
That why the test theories
Religion also knows its fallibe.
le
Nope
Many religious people say, 'the bible was written by man'
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.
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.
Kind-of funnily, most eminent scientists were a form of religious.
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.
