my personal belief is that religion and science are both as bad as eath other.
I can find 10 studies that say chocolate is good for you and at the same time 10 studies that says it is not good for you. Which do I believe?
Basically both rely on faith from followers that the information provided by someone else is accurate. |
It really depend on what scientific field of study you are looking at, as there is going to be more disagreement on some issues and within some disciiplines. In the hard sciences, there's going to be more agreement when looking at core theories, however, there are naturally disagreements when moving to the frontier of research. The social sciences are a mess though....

Sorry I should have been a bit more clear. I don't disagree with science as a concept.
The point I was trying to make is that their are some areas of science that we rely on research by others to be accurate or not. We essentially take their word for it that the tests they performed where correct. ie.e faith in the results lol.

I agree with that. Its actually a problem with pretty much all knowedge. We just have to take other people's word for their results. I mean....I know I'm not capable of truly assessing an academic article from a physicist. I could probably read the abstract, but I wouldn't be able to interppret the math behind it.
