Science works regardless of personal beliefs. It is why both you and I are using computers and why we are both on the internet right now. It is why planes can fly over Iran and Australia and China and America. It is why flu vaccines work on Christians and Muslims and Jews and Buddhists and Hindus.
Religious people can and do accept science all over the world, but only and up until it conflicts with their personal beliefs.
- What theists? What do you even want demonstrated?
- Science is inclusive of personal beliefs. When you get that, you'll be once step closer to understanding what science is and isn't. Tis why we have various branches of "science."
- What "science" are you suggesting is leading to this conflict? If you feel like something is being rejected due to unfair bias, then feel free to put it out there so we can examine it "scientifically." If something in empirically proven, then it shouldn't be hard to determine which side to lean towards.
No, scientific method is a tool, scientists are people using the tool, like you use a hammer to build a deck(field), house(field), but the hammer is the same.. Scientists are bound by that tool to leave their personal bias out of the lab. You can argue that they don't always do that, and that would be correct. But the tool of scientific method is to weed out personal bias to insure that none of your data, formulas or conclusions get corrupted.
Scientific method is the tool, the scientist is the person is using the tool. If that person wants accurate data, they most certainly have to be willing to accept when they are wrong.
