Well, science never try to explain why your parents want to bear
you despite of financial difficulties.
Well, science never try to tell you why you need to grow up to
be a 'decent' adult.
Well, science never try to tell you this and such.
Religion provides alternative view to such questions. There are
many religion around the world, and they attempt to explain
phenomena in different ways. Think of them as different software
packages catered for generic population.
To Rooney9,
There are many scientific theories in the world that can be
easily proven and disprove, but they are still strong cos they have
strong underlying assumption. Please do not forget that hypothesis
comes from ideas which may not have scientific basis, and proven
theories in the past can also be easily proven wrong.
Scientific claims without constant prove/disprove is totally
scam.
Religion can also be proven/disproved, its just a matter of
perspectives. People generally shy away from christianity in the
early days (during modernity) cos of the increased output from
scientific knowledge. Think of science as a fashion, it has to keep
up with times in order to stay relevant. Most religion I know of
also try to keep up with times in order to stay relevant.
It can be through brainwashing, in another perspective I can say
a science education system is also a brainwashing system, cos it
made us (including me) to think that factual information can only
come from progressive science.
Then again you might not understand what I'm getting at because
we have different experiences, I do not know you personally or for
long. Point is that we must be mindful of others, despite how
radical they are, they have their own reason for doing so.
Socrates once question if our knowledge of our surroundings are
actually sufficient, people do have different belief systems that
allow them to function as social persons.
