| Aeolus451 said: You're treated it as some kind of quasi-religion or dogmatic ideal. That's why I said that. By the way, you should look up what dogmatic means. I'm not saying it's a religion at all. I hate when people try to make something seem that it's alot more than it really is. It's merely a means to an end. It's a tool or process used to research, invent and create. It's always used with some goal in mind. |
I'm only trying to make you and others understand that science is not a force with an agenda like politics and religion are. Science simply means knowledge and knowledge is above politics, religion, capitalism and all those forces that have a specific agenda. It's very ironic that you say I treat science as a quasi-religion because science is EVERYTHING religion is not.
You don't understand what science is since you keep saying it's merely a means to an end or a tool. Science is the pursue of truth through methodology. When you look at the moon, if you think it's up there by magic or cause it's a God you are the victim of religion and ignorance. But the second you start thinking about why the moon exists, how does it stay up there without falling, when and how did it form, you are doing science, when you apply methodology and experiment to figure out the truth behind the existence and state of the moon, you are using science because you seek the true nature of the universe you are doing science. That has NOTHING to do with those who use technology to invade other countries or to impose their religion or to obtain economic dominance, those people have a specific agenda of greed, they have no desire to understand the universe, they merely wish power, money, dominion of all sorts.
The difference between science and religion/politics/power is like day and night and it's sad so many people still don't understand that.
