The scientific method insists that hypotheses are tested, tested and then tested again. Science acknowledges that by its very essence it is not stable. The beauty of it is that it is subject to change and is ever evolving.
I agree!
Region on the other hand is static and therefore religious believers must adapt their worlds to conform to held beliefs, eg stem cell research, abortion, marriage.
The video tries to demonstrate that human nature tends to construct an idea and then tries to fit the evidence around to prove that idea. Science tries to omit the human element (where possible) to allow more and more information (as it becomes known) to shape ideas, theories and eventually our understanding.
This is what I was trying to get at. But obviously didn't explain it too well.
I'd rather not I ended up there once!Facts can be known unless you want to delve into the realms of extreme scepticism.
The most objective way to understand the natural world is by the scientific method. Being wrong is not a dirty word. It's the only way to discount your path to being right.
Good point! ... Throughout life I have assumed that 'wrong' is the worst thing to be.
