Is science based in fact or belief? | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 16:28:58 |

Science is based on belief supported by fact. | by hadji | 2007-01-22 16:35:24 |
|
but could it be the reason it's faith-based | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 16:36:58 |

Can't ever get there. | by vetitice | 2007-01-22 16:41:07 |
|
Why can't we ever get there? | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 16:44:37 |
|
Because you can always say | by vetitice | 2007-01-22 16:50:05 |
|
Not yet, I agree | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 16:53:07 |
|
Not ever. | by vetitice | 2007-01-22 16:59:59 |
|
That's the catch. | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 17:04:23 |
|
But we know exactly how we'd go about that. | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 17:06:15 |
| Only because we've *done* it. |

Look at the "discovery" of germs. A small group of people knew there was something there they couldn't see, taste, hear, or sense in any other way. But they still KNEW it was there. They had no more proof than we do God exists, but they kept at it until they *developed* the technology to prove germs exist, and started getting answers from that technology.

We haven't landed probes on jupiter's moons | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 17:16:25 |
|
Yes. But we don't know how to get them back | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 17:29:46 |
|
Yes we do | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 17:36:46 |
|
Are we omnipotent? | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 17:53:51 |
|
No, we're not. | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 17:57:05 |
|
Hence my point. | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 17:58:36 |
|
So you can disprove small gods. Woohoo. | by vetitice | 2007-01-22 18:04:10 |
|
How do we know Gods go beyond science? | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:08:43 |
|
And now you're not talking about proving the | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 18:15:01 |
|
Who says they WEREN'T what we call God? | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:34:33 |
|
Definitions again. | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 18:41:25 |
|
Neither. | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:45:54 |
|
Glad I could help. | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 18:49:47 |
|
Go right ahead :) | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:55:43 |
|
You can NEVER prove they don't! | by vetitice | 2007-01-22 18:18:46 |
|
That's because you think I'm trying to actively | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:38:32 |
|
No, it's useless to go searching... | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 18:43:02 |
|
The whole tangent thing again. | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:48:44 |
|
Like I said, if it's not omnipotent, it's not god. | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 18:04:22 |
|
Why not? | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:10:57 |
|
Then we have a disagreement in terminology | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 18:16:35 |
|
That's fair enough. | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:42:13 |
