Atheistic Dogma- Scientific Fundamentalism

[Thumpalumpacus]

The absolute nature of the claims made by scientific fundamentalists seem to depend upon current technology and the accumulation of observation, experience, and opinion formed by those deemed worthy of forming such an opinion. As far as I’m aware, there are no experts who claim to be omniscient, wherefore we must always consider that there may be variables uncontrolled for and information left out.

Atheists, how are you sure that any of the science is the truth? How can you tell? When we have no choice but to accept given after given to try to understand what we’re observing, how can we ever know anything for sure? When “scientific facts” often don’t live up to their predictions, how can we trust? There are many claims about the truth of reality, and many people who pose themselves as experts capable of making such claims. As for me, however, I trust that I perceive. I trust that I observe and form opinion. Beyond that, I humbly admit that I am ignorant with regard to the truth.

How are you so confident?

I'm not always certain that scientific discoveries will not be amended, and that's fine.

I trust the scientific process because it demands that thinking change to comport with reality. Indeed, you seem to think that scientists proclaim unchangeable facts. They don't. If you want certainty, look to mathematics and logic.

Insofar as your observations are concerned, they are often incorrect, as a brief google of "optical illusions" will show you. The scientific method allows for the minimization of such subjectivity, and also of bias and dishonesty. Relying only upon personal observation is a good way go wrong.

Also, wanted to express my appreciation for you providing one more moment of irony in the form of someone decrying science ... online ... with a computer ... powered by electricity ... well, you get the picture.

I hope.
