Dont pretend youre like me, or that you know me.
Also, being spiritual has nothing to do with this.
Religion enslaves, science sets people free. If it wasnt for science, wed All still be believing in made up deitiesto try and explain the world around us. Science broke those boundaries.
Im no fundementalist.
I dont think youre full of it. I think you need to do more reading.
I have no faith in science, or deities. As one cannt believe in science. We know science doesnt have all the answers, because theyre are so many, and many of which doesnt have ANYTHING to do with science. So, it has no answer. That lame argument is the same as saying "well, why accept the government, as they dont have the answer to whether or not there is a god". It doesnt matter.
Im not contradiction, the only insults your dishing out are towards yourself, with your lack of understand. Sorry Seeker. But thats it man.
Mulder, thanks brother, we have common groung after all.
"We know science doesnt have all the answers, because theyre are so many, and many of which doesnt have ANYTHING to do with science."
Our exchanges are important my friend. Others whatch and learn.
Things were not so bad before agriculture, architechture, sceince, and religion. 15,000 years ago we lived in harmony with our environmnets. We could feed ourselves, we did not rely on governmnets, we were free to roam and live as we chose, we did not commit mass murder, no nuclear weapons, no guns, good bow and arrows take a tremendous amount of time and energy to make, no loosing valuable life time to television and video games, sexual expression was not stiffled, we did not work our entire lives for only two weeks of vacation a year, we spent many hours training our children, and spending time with them, we did not ship our kids off every morning to be industrilized, there was no such thing as rich or poor even the concept would not have been understood. We did not poison the earth and its creatures, and we understood our place in the world was to be apart of it not master it. There was no famine, because we did not rely on crops, there were no pandemics and mass disease, because everyone interacted in small bands of people and disease vectors were not strong. There was no large scale war and death, just a few scirmishes here and there. Most people relized that violence did not sereve them.
It remains to be seen if science has had a positive influance on mankind or not. If we destroy ourselves, then obviously it did not. If we poison the earth so bad we cannot live, then it did not. If we create societies that control and maniplate people, then it did not. If create economies that keep us enslaved to it, by forcing us to work our entire lives just to eat and have a place to sleep, then it did not.
The benefits of sceince, may end up being an illusion or a trade off that wasnt worth it. If a solor emp blast hits us tomorrow western civilization will know exactly what im talking about. See you mulder its been fun.
