Can Science Explain Everything? [Spirituality & Religion]

@SW-User 🙂 science will never answer every question, because that would imply the end of science.

every scientific answer opens another question, each piece of knowledge we gain points to a new area of ignorance. and so the search goes on.

religious beliefs are backward looking and deal in "certainties", unquestionable "truths".

science is forward looking and deals in uncertainty and discovery.

humankind needs both truth and uncertainty. this is why every society has invented a god or gods in its own image, to provide a societal bedrock, an immutable "truth". the forces of conservatism in the society defend that "truth" against all evidence.

as a result, either the "truth" or the society stagnate and, eventually, decay.

@Yulianna Sadly the 'scientific atheist' is the most unscientific person out there. Science requires that you entertain all possibilities until it is shown to be impossible. The flat earth is a prime example. It has been shown to be impossible. However there are still folks who pretend to believe that the earth is flat. Much the same can be said of evolutionists who claim that biology began with a single cell somewhere in the primordial past. Evidence beyond doubt shows that such thinking is akin to flat earthism. It simply can't happen. There is no way for the 'cell' for form or function. Chemistry precludes it. The intricate design and function further proves it. Live on earth is the product of Creation.

@hippyjoe1955 circular and self contradictory... you apply different criteria of examination to science and to your acclamation of creation.

you don't seem to be very bright, so i hope your belief sustains you.

@Yulianna So you have no idea how science works. What should we expect from someone still in high school.

@hippyjoe1955 please explain to me how science works...

@Yulianna You don't know?

@hippyjoe1955 you told me so in your previous post. i presumed you did know...

@Yulianna I certainly do know. I thought you did too at which point your question was just foolishness.

are you a bit confused? or do you suffer from memory lapses?

or are you simply incapable of explaining to me how science works?

@Yulianna So you did some research I hope? Maybe learned a bit? Fill us all in on your discovery on how science works. Sounds exciting. The floor is yours.

Where do you get that idea from? Some idiotic creationist website I presume. Certainly not from The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.

@Sharon Since you are so informed you tell us all how it ALL began. I am sure you are the smartest person on this thread so you can inform us at your leisure. The floor is now yours. Please begin your learned dissertation.

@hippyjoe1955 from that, i can only assume you have no idea and are incapable of explaining to me.

@Yulianna I thought you would do your own research not rely on me to tell you. You don't trust me remember?

@hippyjoe1955 you cannot explain to me how science works. therefore i can only assume that you do not know how science works.

which puts your first response to me into context.

@Yulianna You don't trust me to tell you the facts. Therefore your option is to do some research on your own. I was hoping you might have some insight you would be willing to share. You disappoint me.

@hippyjoe1955 can you run any faster from your embarrassing ignorance? all you have to do to shut me up is to explain how science works.

how many chances do you want?

and pathetic ad hominem attacks?

surely you can do better than that.

@Yulianna And here you are with no research behind you accusing me of running away. Strange.

@hippyjoe1955 [quote]Since you are so informed you tell us all how it ALL began.[/quote]
I don't know how it all began and neither do you. I just called you out on your (deliberate?) misrepresentation of The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.

@Yulianna [quote]surely you can do better than that.[/quote]
You'll find he can't.

@Sharon Oh so you don't know how it all started but you are convinced that Creation can not be the way. Interesting. What do you base your assertions on?

@Sharon Says you who can't explain a thing by your own admission but you are certain it is not that way. Too funny!!!!

@hippyjoe1955 Simple logic, something obviously well beyond your understanding.

@Sharon Says the most illogical person on this thread. You wouldn't know logic if it bit your nose.

Even primates don't reproduce through what's defined as natural selection. They reproduce through (simplistic and emotionally driven) rituals of challenge and contest. The outcome can change in several non natural ways. Interference by other chimps and encouragement by a specific female in a group can inhibit contests, induce rematches, etc.

And humans are even more complicated because of the awareness of large group crises and successes.

Now that we know that genetic mutations are an unreliable predictor of evolutionary theory the mantra becomes natural selection.

Natural selection only works at a most remedial level in predator camouflage advantages or quarry defense and numerate eproductive progenisis.

Stop arguing now and come to grips with the truth that this is always going to be a mystery until you die unless you allow a stuffed shirt to mislead you otherwise.
