So all scientific breakthroughs happen at the top? I met your requirement from earlier so you change them? Scientific breakthroughs are validated at the top, and are performed by people within the scientific community (it's a scientist who makes the breakthrough). Religous scientist make breakthroughs, christian followers follow said breakthoughs, religion did not self correct? I don't get maybe you can explain better. They religion has nothing to do with their scientific breakthroughs. Plus their discoveries are validated by the scientific community (the only one capable of such validations), not the church. Also these scientists aren't religious authorities. Check out Thomas Khun's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. You do also know that there are many different churches and christian beliefs which is just one out of many religions and not all chritians follow the beliefs of all other christians? The catholic church is one a few world wide churches. Many are actually just one building, one group of people in a city they are jnot interlinked like the catholics are. They dont even always agree with each other. What's the point of this paragraph? |
You are throwing the idea out that for it to be self correcting that all religous people must believe it, religion is not that way. The majority of religous people have no problem with science and infuse it in their beliefs thus self correcting religon. Science to me is not "oputside" of religion like you are making it to be. To me you are trying to say religion is not self correcting because they are not all sheep following the same thing, i am trying to say religion is self correcting. I just havent found the words to convine you of that. I am working on it.
