Natural Order and Science

[little_monkey]

500 years of science.

What you are saying is before 500 years of science great nations were living without “inbuilt mechanism of self-correction.” Does not it sound weird?

No, that is the historical reality. There were two periods when the scientific method was discovered - first, the ancient Greeks (circa 300 BCE), and then the Muslims during the Golden Age of Islam (circa 900 CE). But in both cases, there was no continuity, no next generation to carry on that idea due to political turmoil, and so it died out. It was revived during the Renaissance that took place in Italy in the 16th century, and then spread out throughout Europe, then finally to the world. 

Secondly, there is no precise empirical evidence neither any jackpot theory in your generalised response.

Empirical method was clearly outlined in a previous post. It is a method to investigate evidence that is objective, observable and can be repeated by any other individual or team of people such as lab experiments. 

On the other hand, conscience is a common subjective experience in all humans except if someone has not corrupted it utterly. Like common human emotions and feelings, it can easily be verified through psychological methods and therefore, it is fit for an empirical evidence.

The terrorist who've just attacked in Brussels were also acting on their conscience. I think you are very unwise to think that conscience is the measure of all things, when it is the least that anyone should trust. You should heed the words of the great physicist Feynman: "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool."

Science is not capable to explain subjective experiences therefore it can neither give a crackpot theory nor a jackpot theory for “inbuilt mechanism of self-correction.” This mechanism can only be explained either by religion or by philosophy.

Again, subjective experiences are the least thing you should trust. It leads to wars, rapes, massacres, atrocities -- the worst that we see in humanity.

It is not a matter of belief; it is a matter of fact. Conscience is a common and original inner voice that is free from any contamination of human desires.

Total nonsense. Conscience is what you acquired from your parents, teachers, culture, etc. It is heavily influenced by the environment in which you grew up. And so your conscience is a reflection of what you have learned,what you have been exposed. And in some cases, your conscience can be a very dangerous thing. Ask the terrorists from ISIS what their conscience are telling them.
