Proof that God exists
RE: Proof that God exists
(January 16, 2018 at 8:17 pm)Conspiracy_of_reason Wrote: I don't agree with you on this point. Science has evolved exclusively to meet human needs,

Like the "human need" to accelerate particles to near light speed, have them collide with other particles, and then record what happens in the aftermath? Smile

Quote:it is driven by our faith in  the curiosity and dedication of theoreticians and experimenters who make it their life's work to correct the misunderstandings - 

FTFY

Quote:If you ask people why we continue with scientific study and exploration the answer you will get is because 'we might' ... correct the misunderstanding ... find our way to another inhabitable planet... learn to live beneath the sea ... find a cure for death ... et cetera. 

That's what people say in defense of science. What drives science first and foremost is intellectual curiosity. The thing that drives religion is a lack thereof.

Quote:We might, we might not, and it is faith that give us the hope to cling on, exactly the same way religion does.

You may have a point about faith giving us the hope to cling on... I am reading some philosophy right now that is trying to make this case. I am going to post a thread about it in the next week or two. Hopefully you'll respond to it. For now, I will simply say that, yes, for battered and broken individuals, religion may provide a sense of transcendence which endows them with the enthusiasm to press on despite difficulties. But at the societal level--in modern times--religion is little more than a stumbling block.
