The Ownership of Science

[GaryAnderson]

Is that another one of your faith based positions? Thought this was a thread about science. It appears to me that any discussion of who owns or who can use science is irrelevant, as you're chielfly concerned with rejecting it at the outset.

It’s a simple question. I’m asking who should use science. That’s it.

In this topic I’d like to discuss who should use science to support their position. 
Should it be atheists, theists, any other group, or just all people in general without any discrimination?
Science is basically a tool which allows us to understand the How but not the Why sometimes. Science is a strict peer-reviewed process which can change its position based on new evidence. So Science doesn’t care either way of the implications and this is as close as we can get to an unbiased process. 
The question is do you folks here have any problems with any groups using science to support their position?
My answer to this question is : I don’t have any problems with anybody using science to support their beliefs. Anybody can use it without discrimination.

I strongly doubt that religionists can use science to support a religious proposition (although they can certainly use it for other things). A methodology which is designed to base hypothesis on observations of the natural world, construct theories to explain those observations, and then have those theories challenged by other observers seems remarkably unsuited to apply to supernatural or spiritual ideas.

Theists will use science in relation to the existence of the universe and that it’s fine tuned for life.

In this topic I’d like to discuss who should use science to support their position.

Are you serious?
Are you really serious?

Come in! Free coffee inside.

@GaryAnderson Science does not care about why.

I agree. I already said that in the OP.
