Humanity

I am in awe at the beauty and power of your articulation.

 

Flattery doesn't work on Mr. Writer.

 

secretly, it does!

Ah, but self expression works for me. I have no other motive.

 

Prove it.

 

Prove to me that you are real.

 

Science is a belief system just as much as any religion or philosophy by which an individual may choose to make decisions by.
The main reason it is not viewed as such is due to the general misunderstanding of what all scientific thought and theory is based on. Science is based on probabilities derived from our observations. Due to the inherent limitations of our perceptual apparatus; ie. senses, these probabilities or "facts" are always tentative and subject to modification.
For example, illness and disease were thought to be caused by spirits or "humors" flowing through our bodies, among other theories of disease. With the advent of the microscope and other techniques which essentially expanded our power of observation, these theories gave way to the idea of viral or bacterial causes. That is a simplified example yet I feel it illustrates the concept well.

Some of these probabilities occur with such frequency and consistency that we come to rely on the high probability of such and such occurring that it is given the status of a "scientific law". That in no means invalidates the fact that it is still based upon a probability based in our ability to observe said phenomena.

Each one of us take actions of faith based on these observed probabilities.
Every time you step on the brakes while driving is a faith based action rooted in the probability that they will stop the car as they have in prior observations. There is always the probability that they won't stop the car. The reason we so readily adopt and have such high confidence in scientific "facts" as such is that daily life would be rather impossible to conduct if we didn't. So we go throughout our day carrying out thousands of "faith based actions" without giving it a second thought or even recognizing such actions as faith in a probability.

I know I am one that is always stressing the "facts" over myth and conjecture. I also am always stating that I am very open minded when it comes to possibilities.
Some have taken that to be a contradiction. It's not, it's accepting the reality that all science fact or any knowledge is tentative and subject to change and modification, while at the same time accepting the high probability of an occurrence based upon observation.

Which brings me back to my original hypothesis;
Science is a belief system just as much as any religion or philosophy by which an individual may choose to make decisions by.

 

Humans are animals.

 

Its' practical reliability making it as good a God as Gods' get.

 

And?

 

It was in response to the OP.

 

Thanks for reminding me.

 

I never claimed to be to you but you validated my being by engaging it. Unless you just like talking to yourself.
