Open-mindedness

@adminkefas
who is that directed at?

oh god. you make me sick when you face the stupidity of gods and humans like science. go to hell all of you. you still believe in gods? ax0xa00xa0axx0axa0. people of books and of technology.

The only reason I ever got from a God believer is because the bible.....

this is a great video, 5 stars!

Also I don't intend on belittling your beliefs at all, that is just my perspective on the matter. :)

Thanks Squeege, appreciate the respectful reply. Let me ask you this: Does science disprove the existence of a God? (And yes, I realize (a) your likely answer is "no" (b) that this answer does not undermine the validity of science (c) that this inability, if it exists, is likely due to the subjectively human quality you name and (c) that this inability can't be presumed as "proof of existence" either.

(ran out of room...) Point being, there are many who are exceptional scientists and still religious. Some who even believe science will, eventually, close that gap of evidence between the tangible and the divine. On the other hand, make no mistake -- I've studied Bacon and Descartes, have a grad degree in philosophy, etc. and get/agree with the objective/subjective distinction. Not sure all of sciences adherents do, though.

I'm not sure if you are leading me on into something, but your responses are all just about exactly how I feel, including the inability to prove or disprove a deity of any kind. Some say therefore religion and mysticism have no place in science for that very reason. As for religion and science co-existing, I hope you are correct. I truly believe we as people should come together to discuss things rather than deepen the rifts of hate. People are never going to agree with others 100%, but we are..

..humans, And we all share this earth together. cooperation can bring about amazing, wonderful advancements, while fighting accomplishes nothing, and only hardens the resolve of either side against one another. Damn, I sound like a hippie tree hugger.

I would say that the people who have a belief in a god and still "accept" the power of science, are the same people who pick and chose what is fact and disregard what is not compatible with their god. As for the close-minded science-minded people, science is objective, but it subjectively may not be able to explain everything. That is the human aspect of science, not the objective nature of it. It is an extreme belief at one end of the spectrum.
