[MD] Debate on Science_ReligionToday

[gav]

i am a science graduate (biology); i also studied
physics for a year and completed 1 year of a PhD in
biochemistry.

i think both science and religion have caused a lot of
damage, though you could argue that this damage only
came about through the manipulative intervention of
the Giant. yes i would def argue this.

the process of science itself is fine and dandy, a
high quality thing; it is just that the first
principles are never addressed. ie what is science,
what *assumptions* is it based on. this was never
tackled in my degree.

quantum physics was a hundred years ago and yet
science still has not progressed to the point where it
can conceptualise the exp data satisfactorily. not
very dynamic at all.

religions like taoism and buddhism and even esoteric
mystic traditions in the west (eg sufism) have much to
teach science and some guys have even got this (eg
fritjof capra - the tao of physics). a science v
religion debate is unncessary as i consider the
problem to be the social control of both.

any belief system - science or religion - is
potentially harmful without adequate metpahysical
grounding.

but really it is all about the giant. the best science
of the last 100 years (eg tesla) is buried and
mediocre hacks (eg dawkins) reign supreme.
