Yeah.

SCIENCE IS A RELIGION. Because many people believe in it. And that makes it a system of beliefs, which is definitely the meaning of religion. Ten years from now, there will be science churches and scientific priests. They will rule the world. They will teach the ultimate truth to the innocents. And those innocents will believe. And they will later replace those scientists and make a more advanced and precise system of beliefs. And they will give birth to another form of religion. And Christianity will evaporate. And everybody will be god. And no one will ever remember that there is a Supreme Being, a friend, a father, and most of all, a brother, who created everything.

And yes, people will definitely like the modern system. I couldn't blame them. What more could they ask? Everything is being fed. There are proofs, evidences, scientific explanations..... there is absolutely NO REASON to doubt science. And if that's the beauty of it, i'd rather resort to the older system. Though there are doubts, regrets, unexplained, uncertainties......WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT BEING PRECISE?? AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHO ARE WE TO BE SO WISE THAT WE ARE NOW ABLE TO KNOW GOD, TO EXPLAIN HIS EXISTENCE BY NUMBERS AND TERMS THAT WE CREATED??!!!!

Yeah.

SCIENCE IS A RELIGION.

But does it have a god??
Where??

- So if I were to read this rant and believe it, would that make howtothinklikegodism a religion? You are confusing 'belief' with 'faith'

Ten years from now, there will be science churches and scientific priests. They will rule the world. They will teach the ultimate truth to the innocents. And those innocents will believe.

- Why in 10 years all of a sudden? What about the previous thousands of years that science has existed?

And they will later replace those scientists and make a more advanced and precise system of beliefs.

-Sort of like a virus?....Sort of like Christianity?

And everybody will be god. And no one will ever remember that there is a Supreme Being, a friend, a father, and most of all, a brother, who created everything.

- Bang! That was the sound of your credibility crumbling around you.

- Yeah, you'd rather go back to a 2,000 year old 'system' of 'making up crap' than use the highly reliable scientific method because.... (no actual reason given)

Yeah.

But does it have a god??

Foolish mortal.

Religion: a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

(1st entry for noun: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/religion)

Science: a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences.

(Again, 1st entry for noun: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/science)

So, religion deals with the creation of superhuman entities, note: the use of the term creation impies created by mankind. Science deals with facts and truths.

Science does not make statements it cannot support with evidence and truths. Why do you think fundie logic fails at every hurdle when trying to refute science? Superhuman, by it's definition implies that the knowledge required to know truths about it are beyond the abilities of humans, ergo superhuman.

Science is a system, a system which can be dissected and shown to work at every level.

Religion is nothing but unsupported conjecture, making it up as you go along. It does not stand up to dissection, it does not stand up to criticism or investigation.

We have no need to worship science, even though it has given us everything we have. Science requires no worship only understanding.

The dictionary says you're an idiot.

Because many people believe in it.

::facepalm::

Will someone get this guy a dictionary?

Ten years from now, there will be science churches and scientific priests.

Riiiiiight...

They will rule the world. They will teach the ultimate truth to the innocents.

At least it would be better than what you guys are peddling.

And those innocents will believe. And they will later replace those scientists and make a more advanced and precise system of beliefs. And they will give birth to another form of religion.

Wut?

And Christianity will evaporate. And everybody will be god.

W00t!

And no one will ever remember that there is a Supreme Being, a friend, a father, and most of all, a brother, who created everything.

And that's bad how?

And yes, people will definitely like the modern system. I couldn't blame them. What more could they ask? Everything is being fed. There are proofs, evidences, scientific explanations..... there is absolutely NO REASON to doubt science. And if that's the beauty of it, i'd rather resort to the older system.

Like how if you had a serious illness, all ou had to do was turn a cat 3 times over your head?

Though there are doubts, regrets, unexplained, uncertainties......WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT BEING PRECISE?? AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHO ARE WE TO BE SO WISE THAT WE ARE NOW ABLE TO KNOW GOD, TO EXPLAIN HIS EXISTENCE BY NUMBERS AND TERMS THAT WE CREATED??!!!!

Yeah! Who cares if you medication has the right number of grams in it! Who cares if you get an overdose or underdose!

Yeah.

Conclusions drawn using the scientific method are often found to be incorrect, and are replaced with better conclusions. This is the strength of the scientific process, and is a phenomenon that never happens in religion. In short, science is a process of continual discovery while religion is a mire of intellectual stagnation.

Religion can't be used to cure cancer, build bridges, discover planets, link genes with gene functions, predict weather, produce better crops, etc.

Does science require faith? You bet. It requires an inconfirmable belief that the world is real and has predictable properties. This doesn't make it a religion, but just another metaphysical system.

Ow, my brain, it hurts.

You know, it always gets me riled when people say that science is trying to destroy religion, but now I think they've got the right idea going on.

"WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT BEING PRECISE?? AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHO ARE WE TO BE SO WISE THAT WE ARE NOW ABLE TO KNOW GOD, TO EXPLAIN HIS EXISTENCE BY NUMBERS AND TERMS THAT WE CREATED??!!!!"

100% fail. "God" would be a supernatural phenomena, the supernatural is not measurable, quantifiable, or observable on any kind of concrete basis. Thus is falls OUTSIDE of the realm of science. Don't get your panties in a bind, get freaking educated and see that you can have both if you really want.

Also, WTF is with his screen name? howtothinklikegod is reaming science for trying to figure god out, yet he thinks he's figured him out to a point where he can tell others how to think like him?! Nice level of arrogance there buddy.
