Hello and welcome to my channel on YouTube.

I am interested in examining the fundamental scientific and philosophical questions about the origins and nature of the universe.

My interests in science is from A-Z. For me, science is a truly universal activity because it does transcend across human cultures and quite possibly advanced extraterrestrial civilisations (assuming that they do exist out there in the enormity of the cosmos).

I do acknowledge that science is not static, but rather dynamic and constantly changing with the progress of technology.

My philosophical interests are in the areas of being, existence, truth, belief, knowledge, reasoning, first principles, art, beauty, morality, law, social interactions, etc.

I would describe myself as a freethinker, humanist, agnostic, scientific skeptic, empiricist, rationalist and philosophical realist.

I do embrace a physicalist and naturalistic worldview of the cosmos. Personally, I do believe that the distinction between 'natural' and 'supernatural' is difficult to precisely delineate and thus is more of a semantical debate.

I am also aware that the term 'science' is difficult to precisely define. In fact, there is no universal definition of science that is agreed upon by all scientists and philosophers of science, thus presenting a problem when examining the validity of topics which are termed 'fringe science' or 'pseudoscience'.

This is because these ideas do not conform to the mainstream (predominantly accepted) view or orthodox (conventional or customary) methods even though they may potentially have a truth-value in explaining a property or phenomenon of the universe.

List of Agnostic Quotes

"The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing." Socrates

"As to the Gods, I have no means of knowing either that they do exist or that they do not exist." Protagoras

"That it is wrong for a man to say that he is certain of the objective truth of any proposition unless he can produce evidence which logically justifies that certainty." Thomas Henry Huxley

"My view is that if there is no evidence for it, then forget about it. An agnostic is somebody who does not believe in something until there is evidence for it, so I am agnostic." Carl Sagan

"The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic." Charles Darwin
About Me:
 
I am a Bachelor of Science student at the University of Queensland (St. Lucia), currently undertaking my honours year.

Hopefully, I will become a scientist engaged in cutting-edge research on the frontiers of chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, etc.

I am also prospective about enrolling in the four year MBBS program at UQ which would qualify me to practice medicine as a general practitioner or surgeon.
