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 |
|
That's a pointless statement though. | by hadji | 2007-01-22 16:39:05 |
|
But per the scientific method, | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 16:47:26 |

Sounds like a semantic problem. | by vetitice | 2007-01-22 16:55:09 |
|
It may very well be. | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 17:01:28 |

Who's this 'we', kemo sabe? | by vetitice | 2007-01-22 17:13:50 |

But very large portions of science have | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 17:22:55 |

OK, I think I see where you're taking this. | by vetitice | 2007-01-22 17:38:50 |
|
ARGH!! you did it!! :P | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 17:40:59 |
|
That depends on the scope of the box. | by hadji | 2007-01-22 17:44:52 |
|
Thus my point | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 17:55:25 |
|
But the point is that you never CAN prove it. | by hadji | 2007-01-22 18:21:28 |
|
We don't KNOW we cannot prove it. | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:26:02 |

The fact that the possibility exists means we | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 18:27:56 |

True, but if we're wrong, | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:29:13 |
| No, we can't prove his non-existence doing that |
by Arachnid |

| because no matter what else we do, we always come to the possibility that he exists but leaves absolutely no evidence of his existence, one way or another. Unless we can prove that's not the case (which we can't, by definition, due to the lack of evidence), we can't prove he doesn't exist. |

Then we may prove his existence | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:49:47 |
|
We might | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 18:52:08 |

I'm interested in God. | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 18:54:52 |

Fair enough. | by Arachnid | 2007-01-22 19:05:37 |

Yes, but when I spawn | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 19:06:23 |
