Is science just a new religion ?

The theory of gravity is just a theory. TEACH THE CONTROVERSY!
What happens if you disprove it? Is gravity just a really sticky form of a belief system.

If you can disprove it, it will lift your spirits.

It does if you've disproved centripetal force.

That only works if you get distracted, say by a nice game of cricket.

Thank you, 5, Big Kiss, Cigar and Handshake. I have, for many years, been arguing with friends who are by no means stupid, but who are scientifically challenged, that there is no such thing as centrifugal force, it is centripetal! I see I have an ally in my quest to rid the world of this ignorant term.

Came across a cool site for those long chilllout discussions in the breaks. http://blog.aimonger.com/2010/12/13/is-science-just-a-new-religion/ I know it's not programming but since I get lot's of interesting non related links from the lounge might as well share back :-O . njoy..

IMO you can't disprove centripetal and centrifugal forces, all you can do is deny them, as I do. Newton didn't need them, Copernicus didn't need them, all physical observations that can be explained, get explained without them. They are urban legends, it simply is inertia abused by pseudo-scientists that want to swing a bucket full of water, and the reaction to it. :)

Sounds like they don't know the difference between a centrifuge and gravity.

Hello, Here is a good science blog that discusses science, pseudoscience, religion, etc. http://theness.com/neurologicablog/[neurological blog]

You are obviously not a physicist! Centripetal force is a real force, a square law force at that, and nature loves them! (F=m.v^2/r and S=r.Δv/v are useful equations to remember)

Er...No! Religion requires belief and unquestioning loyalty. Science requires proof and nothing else but questions. Asking if science is like religion is like asking 'Why is a mouse when it spins'. Meaningless and a waste of time. Science is the antithesis of religion, science requires intelligence and learning to succeed, religion requires stupidity, fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms.

Where does matter come from? Why do oppositely charged electrical matter attract and those that are the same repel? Where did the Big Bang come from? The absolute basis of science does require a leap of faith. Every science has certain givens that we assume to be true and derive most everything else from those. Try proving the 5th postulate.

Schrödinger's cat was chasing it. Assuming it's a what, not a why. Otherwise, that's like a scientist asking why is light smelly?

Although I hate religion and find it a waste of time, I disagree with this. Science and religion both require faith that what you're doing is right. The only difference between them is that science finds a potential proof or disproof after a certain period of time (there are exceptions like the 5th postulate), whereas religion only deals with the Supreme Being and existence (which IMO will never be answered, much less proven), even if their interpretation is completely flawed.
