You count how many times people in these kinds of discussions chant slogans like Science is true no matter what you believe, use the term "science" as if it's synonymous with "reality," and declare that anyone who doubts that our scientific knowledge corresponds to the nature of the physical universe is some kind of lunatic.
And I'll count how many times people say that science is a human construct with all the biases and cultural influences that entails, admit that scientific progress is inextricably linked to war, politics and business, and that our knowledge is merely imposing order on the chaos of phenomena to make it comprehensible to humans.
You really think there's a question as to whose bucket fills up first?
I think it's the issue described directly after the quoted comment -
Quote:IDK, I doubt that a poll here would bear that one out - though it may be true somewhere of someone. I suspect it's more the case that you believe something other people hold (to) amounts to such a thing, regardless of whether they'd see it as such or agree even in principle.
In fairness, it was a pretty safe bet - as this forum isn't exactly chock full of people who believe in god-anythings, views or otherwise. Frankly, it's mathematically impossible for the gods eye view bucket to fill up faster in this demo, than in the god believing demo.
