Sorry I don't know much about religion
A long time ago, folks thought the moon was made of cheese. You could tell them “Nah, dude. It’s rocks.” Or you could say “Yeah, for sure dude, probably mozzarella, I reckon.”
They couldn’t know.
They had absolutely no way of knowing.
Even if god came down from the heavens and said “Bruh, it’s rocks. Swear to me, fo shizzle my nizzle.” You don’t know if they’re lying or not.
We have rockets now.
The moon is rocks.
It’s the same with literally every assumption we have about the universe. We have no way of knowing about a whole bunch of stuff right now.
That will change. We don’t know how it will change. But, in the future, we will *know*.
That’s the “why”.

There is not "Why" in that story
that's all just finding out what and how
And that’s why.
How is "what and How" = "why"?
*If* it's enough to persue the why, it is fair enough.
For *most* it isn't.
Yeah but you can't know enough, atleast for now, to even guess at why
the scientific approach to 'what, how and why' may end in a loop
And you'll never know
Once you know the what and the how and the when and The Who and the everything else, you’ll *have* the why.
unless again something or someone tells you
You can’t get to the big “why” without the other stuff.
Nah, resting on one's laurels isn't adequate.
The "Who" is a historical thing
we don't even know if there is a who in the universe
Mediocre at their best
so again you can't get why
Don;t get me wrong , i'm not saying science should be halted
Re: why without the other stuff.
Nor am I.
Faith need not be limited to the religious.
You see this is my problem
but i think there should be specific and worthy reasons to push the limits in certain areas
Science is of great value.
Faith is belief without proof.
it's the whole making faith based assumptions
it's just waste imho
Science is impossible without faith.
Well it's a controlled amount of faith
Eh, but Science is rife with faith based assumptions.
if there's too much it's not going to go anywhere
if there's not enough you don't get anywhere
Of course. You hypothesize.
Then you test.
Controlled, that's an interesting thought.
