Compatibility of Science and Religion

[Ramini]

---

the moment you believe in something, you have stopped inquiring. belief is one of the most poisonous things to destroy human intelligence.

well said! i will not forget this one jd!

only science is based on doubt.

dli pa jd ang klase nga doubt nga for the sake nga mangita ug sayop OR against jd ang science whether tinuod man or dli...true daghan mukatawa nmo if science perceives your theories and ideas ridiculous..BUT..once ma proven nmo..aw tagaan pakag Nobel prize for your breakthrough or mangayo pag sorry and will accept your your ideas sa walay pagduha2x..that's the beauty of science..dli parehas sa uban diha nga maskn nag valid na kaayo imong evidence dli ghapon mudawat kai they refuse to accept it..kai in the first place bias nman daan.

doubt, because doubt is not a sin. it is a sign of your intelligence. ('c',)

i do not believe in believing. my approach is to know, and knowing is a totally different dimension. it starts from doubt, it does not start from believing. the moment you believe in something, you have stopped inquiring. belief is one of the most poisonous things to destroy human intelligence.

all the religions are based on belief; only science is based on doubt. and i would like the religious inquiry also to be scientific, based on doubt, so that we need not believe but we can come to know someday the truth of our being, and the truth of the whole universe.

But all of us to some extent believe, right bro? We don't have absolute certainty about everything in life, we exercise belief in some measure or other.

I love science, but I think it does not give us knowledge of the other truths in our lives. I mean, if all reality are only those which we can touch, smell, see, feel and hear, or those things which are empirically verifiable, or those which can be tested by the Scientific Method, what are we to do with questions of aesthetics or morality?

^ Or questions of metaphysics, like, Does God exist?

like one of the bullshit facts of Psychology -- believing in oneself never ever gets you anywhere.

OMG,

i do not believe in believing
--- if you know you still don't believe? what about your parents do you believe they are yours? hmmm.. i wonder how an intelligent person kept asking about the genuineness of parents... aw!

Yea it starts from doubt, I hope when you are still a kid this does not happen.

"belief is one of the most poisonous things to destroy human intelligence."
--- wrong! belief is something that gives you peace of mind. You can believe in science no need to doubt if they are right or wrong not unless necessary. cut the crap hell, your statement does not apply to the so called Unnecessary things.

Do you have to know what THOUGHTS ARE MADE UP OF? hmmm , gud luck.
