    faith and science

    Ironically, you have faith in science. :-D Faith is believing in something that can't be seen. You believe what science teaches you without actually verifying the results yourself, which means you are taking their word for it on faith. We ALL use faith every day in all that we do. It's not a bad thing nor just a religious thing.

    Ah, the #1 bullshit from religious people to try to convince us that science is faith. I look around me, I see science doings everywhere. As for God, no sign.

      Nope. Once again your biased mind has deceived you. I never once said science is faith. That's pure stupidity.

            [Faith | Definition of Faith by Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/faith) Outside the context of religion, it says that "faith" is "firm belief in something for which there is no proof". When I was studying science, professors encouraged us to avoid a firm belief, that science is what we know so far, and that theories could be proved wrong. It happened in the past, and probably still happening nowadays. So, no, science is not based on faith. It is not because I cannot experiment something myself that I have faith in it. But I will certainly not let a science belief rule my life based on some science fact.

              That's a valid enough definition even within religion.

              But as Eddy pointed out, science also bastardized the definition of fact so that they can now call things facts. :laugh:

              Yes, that is EXACTLY what it IS, even using YOUR definition. You have now admitted to having faith in science because you "have a firm belief in something for which there is no proof." You can't prove most of what science says, why? For what you already said. Science is our current understanding and will likely change.

                      Left brains vs. right brains. Science stands on its own, it does not care if you have faith in it or not. It does not care if you exist. Science does not need faith. Simple. You have faith in science because you take what science tells you without proving it yourself. I have faith in God but God does not require faith. Simple. When things are logically straightforward, it somehow messes with the leftist mind. Leftists want to complicate things for some strange reason. But the worst part is, very few leftists can actually see it.

                                  Like when I said that "YOU have faith in science" and you changed that to "science requires faith"? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

                                      You can know some things and you can believe some things. I see no problem with that.

                                        The concept of a soul is not just religious based. Many cultures and schools of thought look at the soul more as a person's life force. This is why AI can never be fully realized; it is missing the "life force" component. To be clear here, you don't "know" anything. I don't "know" anything either. None of us do. We all have beliefs and opinions, but none of us "know" what happens to us when we die, other than the fact that our body rots, decays, and eventually disappears. Where does that life force go? Some believe (not know) that it goes back into the overall energy of the universe, or heaven, or hell. Who knows, really?

                                          Noope This is an extremely good and favourable look on life. At least I have not to be afraid anymore of the hell and damnation promised by our pastors and parents. It is a great relief to know that they were all just spinning abject nonsense at the time. Gods simply do not exist.
