Who is the greater fool: the one who explains through science or the one who explains through faith?

Answer 1

Both, especially when they argue with each other.

Answer 2

Faith explains nothing except to those who believe, without evidence. Hence, it's value is limited.

Science explains some things to those who are ready to listen, assess and decide. It's value is limited only by intelligence and reason.

Neither are fools, because I have faith that the sun will rise everyday and I need no evidence to support that other than the rising sun. But, I also know that scientific observation proved that the earth circles the sun.

Hope you're not a Flat-Earther...;)

Answer 3

I guess it depends what is being explained. Go to the best source for the information you need. If I want an answer about my toilet overflowing, I'm not going to go to a florist. If I need an answer about a physical ailment, I'll seek a physician's advice. He can tell me on a practical level what is wrong and what to do about it. If I am seeking answers about faith and religion, then I want someone well versed in said faith and religion to speak to. Why does there have to be this huge rift between science and religion? They fit quite well together you know, considering human kind knows very little about both!! Anyone convinced about their opinions may want to revisit them a few years down the road and see if they still have the same opinion. One thing life has taught me is not to be too quick to judge and to be quick to listen and learn. The longer I live, the less I believe in absolutes.

Answer 4

I was reared sitting on the edge of the box, lucky enough to be able to see in and see out with views from both sides. I wasn't reared to be part of the rat race but differently to others. It gave me an insight because I was able to see what all others do, and maybe even more and come to my own conclusions in my findings.
I have been a fool many times in my life, but not once when being the fool was it because of religion, or science but because of life itself. I discovered that there is a very thin line between science and religion, sharing everything as everything is one. Maybe my learning is just part of soul searching but it wasn't intended but rather a compelling feeling to follow because of the given knowledge. The science has revealed so much relating to religion and it wasn't just belief or faith that showed me that, it's math and the simplest form of math too.
Does it make me a fool for following my beliefs or does it make me a fool because I share what I believe to be science?
I may have been a fool but that was because I DIDN'T follow my beliefs, my dreams but the ones in reality and circumstances about me, so now.......
I follow the dreams I have (in my sleep) and able to create them as images for others to see as I do.
That's not being foolish, that's me doing what I should have always done-believe in myself and follow what I believed to be right-as I am now!

Answer 5

Is the one who explains through science a fool? You aren't really explaining it unless you are doing it scientifically.

Answer 6

hmmm...science is established fact, rigorously tested and applied, while religion is belief in a campfire story first told when people still wiped with their fingers and believed the world was flat. So, do you want an explanation based on fact or fable?

Answer 7

Well, they can both be very foolish, but I would have to go with the zealots... At least science has some sort of realistic/tangible basis.

Answer 8

Both are fools since they argue about it. BOTH should let the other believe what they want to believe. If they dont, they're foolish.

Answer 9

The one who explains through only one of these and not both. They harmonize.

Answer 10

The one that is so closed minded to refute the other's beliefs without the complete knowledge of truth that none of us will ever have.
