you can pragmatically prove the scientific method
freedom of religion made America the powerhouse that got the science to go to the moon
its not absolute proof like a math proof, but neighter is anything else
"Positivism asserts that all authentic knowledge allows verification and that all authentic knowledge assumes that the only valid knowledge is scientific.[12] Thinkers such as Henri de Saint-Simon (1760–1825), Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749–1827) and Auguste Comte (1798–1857) believed the scientific method, the circular dependence of theory and observation, must replace metaphysics in the history of thought.[citation needed] Émile Durkheim (1858–1917) reformulated sociological positivism as a foundation of social research.[13]"
else, why not explain why south america is such a crap hole? They're more religious judeo-christian than the US
measurement eror n shit can happen a billion times in a row, theoretically
your argument makes no sense Dvir
Because religion needs to be balanced with science
religion is anti-science
Yes, it is in the most formal sense.
it stops science cuz it complains you're "Playing god"
It does not meet the requirements for a testable hypothesis.
i dono, it does not have to be
They are two different realms
We cannot test it, so we also cannot disprove it. To me, that makes it irrelevant.
its organised religion that fucks with science cause they lose power, not because its against the religion per say
We can test factual statements in religious texts, though
It is ideology that fucks with science
They do not have a good track record.
sure
Israel is a much more religious country than say Colombia, why is Colombia more shit? I don't think it has to do with being more religious.
so quit doing it
stupid
Heres the thing,
We can burn all holy books, and science books today
And in 200 years, all the science books will say the exact same facts
The religious books will say something different
But, we can also test the psychological impact of religious belief, which some of the most famous psychologists, like Carl Jung, have done.
Unless you know, science changes and discovers they were wrong on something
i said facts, not theories
theories can change
genders can not
I think people conflate the scientific method with the current body of scientific knowledge.
\o> dab
Religion is an aspect of a culture
Science books will look very different. There is a lot that we define in arbitrary manners.
currently yes
So of course religion changes
exactly, but science doesn't
```Heres the thing,

I can see why you'd think that, but there is much commonality when it comes to major religions, the basic teachings are very similar cross culturally and given that religion developed in every society on Earth, it'd probably be back in different flavors but a similar message.
so they'll say something different 😮
Different views of the same truth
Yes, there are psychological aspects to religion that are surprisingly common cross culturally.
