Incorrect science proved and proves itself everyday thru trial and error. cause and effect. Hypothesis and expirment.... To hear it compared to "faith" is offensive and absurd.


" "faith" is offensive " - and how exactly do you think most people act to science ?

Do they check every fact that they learn by experimentation?

Or do they trust/believe authority that given them such fact mindlessly?

Can we stop putting our morality and faith above another's?

Any aggressive ideology that forces it believers to censor non-believer viewpoint is ultimately self-destructive - even if you force non-believers they will not believe in it - because they never trusted it.


Science and Faith have different goals. Science figures out things, Faith helps those who are alone (And your ego hates this). Both are, in a neutral, scientific, sense, cults.

Edit: I am a bit one-sided here. Faith also is a social glue (look e.g. at the Muslims), and it actively works for spiritual self determinism. At least Buddhism, Toltecism and Scientology do.
