The Absolutism of Science

[deeoracle]

Again, "science" is a misnomer. "The sciences" is more accurate, since scientific inquiry involves hundreds of thousands of different fields of study.

Besides, no. The sciences feed in on each other, sure, but at worst their purpose is the satisfaction of someone's geeky curiosity. Not generally a bad thing, because such satisfaction is pretty much what created the Information Age we're transitioning into now.

Most of the time, the sciences have specific goals of their own, but the general goal is pretty much the same among all of them: make life better.

Mske life better or make the experience of life uniformed

perhaps with some form of philosophical materialism mitigated by a religion al about human dignity

Both philosophy and religion are highly subjective, so all you would be doing is opening up a can of worms. Science is much more objective, so I'd much rather see us going in that direction.

well we would have a subjective religion which is all about an objective experience- dignity and balance

How much of Science is Absolute?

Only siths deal in absolutes.

What is a sith?

Why would we want to produce retardation in what is known, with some garbage

 

[deeoracle]

perhaps because science it robotizing human experience

 

[metis]

perhaps because science it robotizing human experience

That would pretty much be up to the individual. If you don't want to be a "robot", then don't be a robot, maybe starting with social media like here.

Such as with my approach with naturalism-- ala Spinoza/Einstein? I don't think too many others will buy this though.

 

[deeoracle]

i also meant that about the way we think- we will always find ways as humans to socialize- but it is the way we think and think of other which has become highly robotized

 

[deeoracle]

I agree, if we are truly an evolved species then its time for us to evolve-

 

[Ouroboros]

What is a sith?

Star Wars reference.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

How much of Science is Absolute?
How much of it is only relevant to the scale of the studies from which it was gleaned?

If you don't know the answers to these questions, then you have no business making any arguments regarding science. Go back, finish your elementary science education, then come back with cogent queries.

 

[Iti oj]

well quantum physics is highly complex and like you said science provides tangible benefits

My question then is religion a type of science

Not at all. No predictive or explanatory models. Its also rigid and absolute.

 

[FunctionalAtheist]

Strictly speaking, that is incorrect.

1.0 + 1.0 (which is what's implied when decimals aren't used) will ALWAYS equal 2.0.

And yet it can be proven that 0.999 BAR is equal to 1.0.

 

[LuisDantas]

perhaps because science it robotizing human experience

What would that be exactly?

 

[Sunstone]

perhaps because science it robotizing human experience

Robotizing? As in preventing and curing age-old diseases? Or, as in increasing the world's food supply?

 

[The Neo Nerd]

The greatest scientific mysteries and discoveries are intertwined in religion - how is it any different from tentative Science?

Can you give us examples?

Mske life better or make the experience of life uniformed

Make life better.

"Making the experience of life uniformed" is a goal of the fascism political philosophy, and is not at all an aspect of the sciences.

I agree, if we are truly an evolved species then its time for us to evolve-

An indication you don't understand how evolution works, though likely it comes from the misunderstanding that the media has of it.

We are not "more evolved" than any other form of life on this planet, contrary to what the media says. All species are evolved.
