Quote: As Dr Phil says, common sense isn't very common at all. That's why the things Ariesnl is rabbling about is good for all the idiots out there who don't understand that they should be drinking clean water instead of coke.
so there are a lot of idiots in this world

SCIENCE!!!!! Evert said:
[quote Ariesnl]
I call those common sense - especially the first one. Basically, religion is just a way of expressing the abstract concept of faith by associating it with rituals. Faith in science (the belief that science will eventually unlock all the mysteries of the unvierse) is just one such faith (in fact, my personal beliefs are based on 'faith in science' with a Taoist undercurrent). You just have to recognise the difference between 'science' and 'faith in science'. The only thing that religious people have to be aware of is to be open minded about new scientific discoveries. For example, the fundamentals of Christianity are not affected by the discovery that the Earth orbits the sun, or that geologists have determined that the Earth is 5 billion years old. In such cases, concepts like 'original sin' and rituals like praying remain unchanged. AE. -- |
