Why do people fail to realize that bc man is flawed, and science is based on man made experiments it can also be flawed and biased?

@JaggedLittlePill: OH wait, I didn't block him bc of this comment I swear, I blocked him bc of his username

@JaggedLittlePill: His comment didn't say anything malicious, and I welcome well respected debates like this. You can tell him that. I blocked him when I saw his username adding me, and then I posted the question.

If I had blocked him for his comment, I would've blocked everyone else in this comment section, lmao

@offingg: The laws of science, how man sees life, the chaos, the randomness, the truth all existed long before man discovered them and will still be the same long after man is gone, for eternity.

Precisely

Is science not based on scientific method? Isn't observation part of wanting to be able to recognize and understand nature? Nature surrounds us, however, science isn't nature itself, science is understanding/observing nature[b] by a man[/b]. Science is a man made tool after all. Believe me, i'm for science, but it is not absolute

@offingg: The scientific method is a human's way of observing and attempting to understand things in nature. Science is not man made. Were it man made, then humans would be able to control it. We'd be able to change the way things like physics, chemistry, and mathematics work. But we can't. Science, like nature, existed before humans did.

@BlueMetalChick: Wait, I think we're on the same page but i'm not able to deliever what i'm trying to say. I'm not discrediting science at all, my major includes a whole lot of science and is science based. I definitely believe in the power of science. What i'm saying here, people are suddenly thinking that they can not critque science, nor question it, when that *is* the essence of it entirely. Some people dare not even think that some theories can be flexible. This can hinder the progression of science, bc all scientific theiries are set for improvement or even alteration but people seem to forget that, do you get what i'm saying?

Also, science is the STUDY of nature, not nature itself. Thus, man can control the study of science, thus it is man made.

Did you read the question? I'm religious, but I respect your opinion. However, my question wasn't about that though

@offingg: Science is biased, but religion is not?

I offered an alternative opinion as a "science atheist". I'll answer to humanist also. :)

@Phaedra: I am a religious person, and my religousness is based on faith and emotion. Science, however, is not a "religion", it is an entirely different criteria and is based on logic, so relating science to religion or for example thinking it is absolute, isn't the way to go. My major includes a lot of science, I definitely believe in the power of science and man progression, but science was invented to be flexible, and criticize-able (i know not a word, couldn't find one). So my point here, why do people suddenly treat it like it can not be questioned, when the whole essence of science is questioning. Do you get what I mean?

@Killers: Also, science is man made, that is the entire point *face palm*. It is the STUDY of nature by humans. If you ever see science studying itself, please give me a message.

@Killers: Also, refer to my other answers on here, i'm tired of repeating

@offingg:

Where was I ever questioning the existence of God? I said your claim that religion is not man-made is incorrect.

[quote]I'm telling you science is the STUDY of nature, not nature itself.[/quote]

That's also what I said, but the elements that are studied in science are a natural part of nature.

[quote]Also, science is man made, that is the entire point *face palm*. It is the STUDY of nature by humans. If you ever see science studying itself, please give me a message.[/quote]

That's what I've been saying from the beginning as well. I just made a light-hearted comment about religion and you blew up in my face claiming that religion isn't man-made but science is, which is false because religion is also man-made. If anything I should be the one face-palming, because you completely misunderstood me, and made a big deal out of nothing.

I love science though

@offingg: Conformist.

@Silhouette: lol

Thanks :)

That's true in a way
