Science is also a blind faith.This article proves it.Do you feel the same?

Science is only proven by our predetermined Laws OF Science. Say we encounter an Alien race; can we be absolutely certain that our Laws are correct? Can we hereby declare that the entire universe will agree with our Laws? No, of course not!

I mean, come on! Newton's laws can barely be applied after reaching EARTH'S atmosphere. ;)

It's a different story, though, here on Earth. If you can accept any Laws of (Earthly Human) Science, (take the melting of ice) and re-trial it, to get the same outcome; then you should understand that some things can not be proven under these laws. Can you trial, and re-trial any Religious evidence? No, it isn't even there to begin with.

So, here is something I CAN agree with; it is equally naive to claim the Laws of Science (here on Earth) apply to the entire universe, as it is to say 'God is absolutely real.'

Utter and complete garbage.

You do not have "blind faith" in your senses. You have learned how your senses work through a process of trial and error. You learn how to process the information coming from your senses based on experience. This "article" is just a bunch of nonsense dressed up in an attempt to sound reasonable.

Science is only a blind faith for someone unwilling to do the work who just accepts anything a scientist will tell him/her. If one claims that science is a blind faith, then one is likely to be of the lazy subdivision of skeptical information assimilation. It's an injustice the poor person cannot prove many things for him/herself, and many "scientific theories" synthesized via reasoning yet unverified by actual observation and sufficient, commonly understood evidence are grounds for dismissal, but the most basic of scientific theories that can be observed by anyone can be accepted. All claims must have corroborating evidence that is observable and makes sense to everyone before anyone can expect everyone to believe in them. Faith means you believe in something even in contrast to reality without evidence and scrutiny, and that is the very definition of stupidity.

Blind faith? Seriously?

Your article does not prove anything. It does demonstrate the key problem with religion, in that religious people just don't understand how to make logical arguments, and give more weight to fantasy than fact.

"Think of your physical science courses-there's a very great chance that you couldn't imagine or understand the basis of a lot of stuff written in those books."

Utter drivel and badly punctuated at that. I don't claim any particular intelligence but I had no problem with secondary school level science. and even managed to obtain a BSc and work in and around science for the next 36 years. I admit I had trouble with the phase rule in physical chemistry, I didn't understand for years what it was about, but I never had to use it either.

It was all said about 89 years ago -. .

"The so-called religious organizations which now lead the war against the teaching of evolution are nothing more, at bottom, than conspiracies of the inferior man against his betters. They mirror very accurately his congenital hatred of knowledge, his bitter enmity to the man who knows more than he does, and so gets more out of life. Certainly it cannot have gone unnoticed that their membership is recruited, in the overwhelming main, from the lower orders -- that no man of any education or other human dignity belongs to them. What they propose to do, at bottom and in brief, is to make the superior man infamous -- by mere abuse if it is sufficient, and if it is not, then by law"

"The inferior man's reasons for hating knowledge are not hard to discern. He hates it because it is complex -- because it puts an unbearable burden upon his meager capacity for taking in ideas. Thus his search is always for short cuts. All superstitions are such short cuts. Their aim is to make the unintelligible simple, and even obvious. So on what seem to be higher levels. No man who has not had a long and arduous education can understand even the most elementary concepts of modern pathology. But even a hind at the plow can grasp the theory of chiropractic in two lessons. Hence the vast popularity of chiropractic among the submerged -- and of osteopathy, Christian Science and other such quackeries with it. They are idiotic, but they are simple -- and every man prefers what he can understand to what puzzles and dismays him.".

Nice to see that you openly and willingly admit that religious belief is *BLIND FAITH* (and you didn't even realize it). You wrote, "science is *ALSO* a blind faith". GOTCHA.

Thanks for that,

EDIT: To "BlairBear" ...... the laws of science are the laws of nature, they are the same thing. So you're saying that the laws of nature don't necessarily apply to the entire universe. You are therefore admitting that *SUPERNATURAL* laws can therefore apply. This is a "belief" you hold, and nothing more than a "belief".

You need to learn to understand even basic science. So far, you apparently haven't even got an idea what it actually is. Science is the exact opposite of blind faith. Your 'article' is just random ramblings of some religionist with as little knowledge of science as you portray in your question.

Why do BAD Christian members of the sects and cults ridicule god and make Chrsitianity a laughingstock by rejection reality?

The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept the big bang and evolution!

Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”!

Nice that Christians and atheists can agree and laugh together even if it is at fundie expense!

But behind the laughter is the despair at the fundamentalists striving so hard to destroy Christianity by turning it from a religion to an ideology!

Surveys suggest that 29% of American Christians are so extremist in their beliefs that they fall well outside of the accepted bounds of Christianity!

If you intend to post like this again please state which extremist sect you belong to so that GOOD Christians can disassociate themselves from you and explain why your sect is so at odds with Christianity!

Yeah, the method of testing, observing, verifying, measuring and demonstrating reality, is a blind faith.

Ok then.

If evidence based reasoning is not the opposite of blind faith, I do not know what is.
