If science was a religion, who would worship at its altar?

[Blackrook]

Apparently, there are some who say they believe in science, not religion, as if the two were interchangeable.

But they are not.

Science answers the questions of where, when, what, and how?

Science does not, and can not answer the question of why?

Despite that, some have started treating science, or some aspects of it, like a religion.

For examples, believers in the Global Warming Theory have become so consumed with their theory, that they have started calling those who don't believe "deniers." And some have suggested that there should be harsh penalties for "deniers" up to and including criminal penalties.

It is almost as if we had returned to the Spanish Inquisition, during which the Catholic authorities prosecuted those who denied the Catholic religion.

So, what say you?

Should "deniers" of Global Warming be punished for their failure to believe in this new faith?

Billions of people have been saved because of vaccines!
Billions have been saved because of understanding of viruses and disease. Modern medicine.
Science has allowed our population to grow from 1 billion in 1803 to 7.5 billion today because of modern understanding of food production.
Science allows you to sit here on your dumb ass and bitch about it on a computer that runs on electricy.

Of course you'd do away with it all and call in the witch doctor. You're a joke that wishes to send us back to the stone age.

Religion quite frankly is based on myths and beliefs...Science is based on facts. Don't mix the two up.

You're no different then the taliban in the way you wish to send us backwards. One of the reasons I've supported the wars in the middle east is to fight idiocy that you're pushing on my own country.

Democrats are science flexible, they won't admit a conceived human is human. They both use science and deny science depending on their political leanings.

Science is a tool.

Religion is a belief structure.

The two bear little, or no, relationship to each other, and can coexist peacefully.

 

[fncceo]

The entire point of science is not to worship it, but to continually question it .

If you deify science, you remove the ability to judge it critically.

What the fuck did praying to god ever do? Oh'yesss, the black death wiping out 2/3rds of the population of europe and killing nearly half of all children before they reached adulthood.

Yep, science is bad.

Democrats have totally lost credibility when it comes to global warming. So many lies, so many paid off scientists on their dole and so many predictions and scare tactics found to be complete crap..

God exists in my heart and gives me comfort and strength during the good times and the not so good times. I don't believe I could go through life being a soulless individual, faith is a total plus plus for me...

Democrat gestapo methods of promoting global warming is now doomed to failure and their desparation proves it.

I'm thinking you should consider hanging out with a truly faithful person and learn something, it could be you rejected faith because someone or ones you truly trusted/loved ended up not having any true faith at all. There's bad apples everywhere including organized religions and such.

I say the tone of the OP suggests there is a misunderstanding about what "theory" means in a science (natural or social) context.

• What Is a Scientific Theory?
• Scientific theory meaning

Should "deniers" of Global Warming be punished for their failure to believe in this new faith?

Well, that depends on who the denier is. Individuals, in most cases no. Governments, yes. Organizations, in most cases yes.

Nobody said science was bad .... you're trying to create a strawman to validate your personal position.

In addition, your ignorance of the relationship with God could fill volumes. You don't understand it, so you ridicule it.

Religion can't answer why either unless you're ok with a made up answer

You do realise that outdoorsmen who are most likely Republicans pay for a huge chunk of Government's conservation efforts through licensing and taxes. ?

Talking to Matthew is like talking to a very stupid 5-year-old child. What he really needs if for me to turn him over my knee and give him a good spanking. I would do it if that would knock all the stupid out of his head.

I know but a lot of us have private land. Are we worried about the public land where poor people hunt? I do both

Those uninterested in evidence that can be shown to others.

Well you have to prove that there is a "why" to begin with.
