I'm guessing you would like elaboration on the 'no' responses. I'll gladly provide that.

No. Science is the best way to predict the sun will come up tomorrow. Anyone who claims to know the sun will come up tomorrow claims to know the future. That's woo.

No. Experience is the best way to know our lungs help us to breathe. Science is the best way to know lungs are what helps us breathe how and why our lungs work.

No. Experience is the best way to know humans cannot walk on water. I attempt to walk on water, I know I will sink. Science is the best way to understand why humans cannot walk on water.

No. Experience is the best way to know our lungs help us to breathe. Science is the best way to know how breathing and how lungs work.


No. Experience is the best way to know humans cannot walk on water. I attempt to walk on water, I know I will sink. Science is the best way to understand why humans cannot walk on water.

Ah semantics.

What about know to a certain % then, or to a certain point? Or know things so out prediction are proven correct

"No. Science is the best way to predict the sun will come up tomorrow. Anyone who claims to know the sun will come up tomorrow claims to know the future. That's woo." Don't we know the Earth rotates around the sun? So yes we do know the future.

Well, observation generally is the best way to learn stuff.
I see science more as a way to validate what we think we know.

You observe something, create a theory of how it works, then you can use the concepts of science to test your theory out.
Or not. As long as whatever you believe to be true keeps working as expected, no real need to test it.

However if you start to find that many of your theories don't always work out as you expect, you might want to start testing them more often to regain confidence in them. That is where science comes in.

Sure. Why not? :shrug:

"I created a thread in a religious forum to suggest that science is better than religion, but when someone calls out holes in my logic/reasoning, I'll just call them out as using 'semantics.'"

That assumes that science and religion are contradictory and they are not.
