Personally, I said gravity is a very damn good theory. I just would never fully embrace something of illusionary interpretation, no matter how real it seems, but honestly, on this particular subject, I’m very close to it.
Science is a religion these days in the sense of how this organized belief system is functioning. I am speaking generally based on the majority of scientific minded people I know, talk to, read papers from, message boards, websites, etc.
Just as a scientist only believes in what is “proven” through it’s findings/readings…religious people only believes in what is "proven"through there own readings (ex. the Bible and the continuing developments implemented by the Catholic church). They have been made to clash because this world has been developed to only consider five-sense reality.
I would never in my life condemn every individual due to trends or the general practice. I never said science was stupid, I actually put science in quotations, I said the doctine that has taken over science (as it did religion) is stupid. The current root mind frame is the exact same (again generally). Both are not representing their true nature. If they were, imo they’d be complimentary.
In fact, on it’s original definition:
Science: knowledge covering general truths of the operation of general laws, esp. as obtained and tested through scientific method [and] concerned with the physical world.
It’s very much like religion with the exception that it addresses the operational/physical side (limited by our five senses) as opposed to the incorporeal/spiritual side. Religion is supposed to deal from without our five-sense reality (like God or a God would be able to through his versions of sense or knowing) and science is supposed to deal from within our five-sense reality (even if it explains something outside of this, it’s always written and percieved with the five-sense imagination).
Just as there are scientists who think differently from each other there are religious people who think differently from each other. I admire many scientists (although mostly dead ones) and many religious figures (although, almost all dead ones).
EDIT: In the end, both have contributed to the loss of understading reality. Even with so many of their lead practioners providing so much towards that understanding. These types have been phased out at this point, and their legacy is not even truthfully reflected in the general science book.
I’ve read so many actual, serious, articles like this (and much worse too) to not jump to that conclusion.
maybe I’ll even attach cookies or muffins or chocolate or something haha
