How can you accept science as truth?

Question

I already posted the question but I think people misunderstood the degree to which science can be wrong.
When I said Newtonian Physics has in the past 100 years been "proven" to be incomplete and flawed I don't think people understood the degree to which I meant science can reverse it's opinion. Quantum physics is NOT relativistic theory. This time I think it's the athiest that are ignorant. Einstein himself said "God does not play dice" when referring to quantum physics.
Quantum physics threatens (quite justifiably) the foundation of all scientific understanding of the universe. Where newtonian physics is based on a continious function quantum physics is based on discontinuity. This is a way oversimplification because I don't have room to explain it so don't just respond to point that out.
My point is that Science is NOT based on fact. Science is based on observation. A subtle difference but a fatal one in light on the new Quantum Theory. Is your faith worth the gamble?

Answer 1

Science has evidence. When additional evidence becomes available, scientific theories get modified or dropped entirely. That's seeking truth.

Religion has no evidence for gods, and ignores findings by science if those findings are deemed to contradict the religious viewpoint. That's just plain dumb.

Answer 2

Science....believed the world was flat and well you know the labels....sunrise sunset...those are mistakes of observation......

It looks like the world is flat and the sun is moving....you see what you see can deceive you...

Science is mostly about cause and effect, and the presumption of knowing the relationship between the two....it is what I call a "jump of logic'...that binds the two and this is where the problem is...

Did you hear about the scientist who had trained a frog to jump on command...well the scientiest went on to amputate the frogs legs and when the scientist asked the frog to jump, he just lay there, leaving the scientist to conclude...."frog with no legs can't hear'....this is the error of some logic. It may appear true, but the connection may not be valid.

Truths can Lie...because they are not the whole truth. A famous scientest said all Truths are half-truths, taking them as Truth plays the devil.

Well you have to learn what a half-truth might be, there are some 7 different types, 2 of which are in the dictionary. The neweest one is half-truth = A statement, a truth that is part of the whole truth.

This is why some people say truth changes. Well there are new truths discovered that add to the old truths. That is assuming the old truths were indeed true.

There are some truths that change with time, as in the simple case of what is the population of the USA.

Science may be based on some form of truth, some level of the whole Truth, but science has not yet caught up to The Truth; some science is fallible especially the science that is manipulated by man for man's purpose.

When scientests seek Gods Truth then science will be The Truth.

Answer 3

1. What's incomplete about Newtonian physics? Anything unexplained was superceded by Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

2. Einstien did not quote "God does not play dice". Stephen Hawking did in his book "A Brief History of Time." Check your sources.

3. My faith in science is stronger than my faith in a god. For instance, science tells me that bodies of mass attract one another through gravity. F= GmM/r^2. I can have faith that when I jump up, GMm/r^2 will pull me back down at 9.81/ms^2. What does a god provide me with? Absolutely nothing. There are no laws, no rules, no reassurances.

I believe in human understanding, more than I would human imagination.

Answer 4

Science is NOT about finding the One Truth, you've said as much yourself. That is why I can accept it. It can be changed if new information contradicts previous theories. That's real-life. The idea that there is a One True Faith that makes any other idea False, Decieved, and a Path to Damnation is totally hillarious. If this One True Faith had sprung up in many different places on Earth than it would imply something real. The fact that it originated from a single tribe in the Middle East and is consistant with a people who have been regularly conquered and hold their neighbors in distain does not make it sound realistic to me. It's a cult with dogmas. Science adapts to new information. Your cult is rock solid on ancient manuscripts.

Answer 5

but faith is niether based on fact or observation ,but desiere

Newtonian Physics is a subset of relativistic Physics
the fact is Science has been makeing valid observations
in Quantum physics and relativity and they contradict each
other
its as if the universe is working under two seperate and contradictory laws of nature

its not Science is wrong its that scienceis able to observe two contradictory observations in the same reality
You first need to work out the contradictory differances between
observations in Quantum physics and relativity
when u do that you will be able to answer your ? on a physicis level
a lot of modren things would not be posible like cell phones and tunnle diodes with out Quantum physics

Answer 6

Science as truth as opposed to religion?

As a biologist, I am very aware of the flaws of science. We use inductive reasoning to feel our way around theories, and not deductive reasoning which is more conclusive. However much of what has been discovered has been reproducible enough (or supported enough) that more theories can be built upon each one.

However those facts aren't enough to whoally replace a scientific theory with a religious one. How can anyone accept the Bible as absolute truth when it offers so many contradictions within its pages?

Answer 7

I can accept science as truth because it proves itself true. Sometimes the truth changes. It has to with successive knowledge, but it is still truth.

Observing something that happens time after time after time has to be taken at truth. If I see the same event happen 20 times in a row, I can safely assume that it will always happen (assuming that all things are equal).

This is different from faith (which I also take as truth) in that I have to believe that God said something and knowing that God will not lie it is the truth.

Science and religion CAN and MUST get along and coexist.

Answer 8

Science is based on observable facts, and from those facts we draw the best conclusions possible. If we find new information contradicting it, we will change the conclusions to fit it. How can you not accept science as truth? Surely you're using a computer, product of science, or you have visited a doctor.

Answer 9

I will say Amen to that. However, even if people think that Science is based on facts - facts is still not truth. One might be able to reason facts, but to reason truth... well a lot depends upon faith. When the facts can be seen plainly by the observer; faith wait patiently on truth to show up.

Answer 10

The declare that technology has disproved Christianity is fake. even if, recommendations that were common through the Church were disproven through technology, like the heliocentric variety of the universe, the theory that diseases are punishments for sin, and creationism. even if, technology won't be able to disprove Christianity itself. Christianity deals with the supernatural international. technology deals with the organic international. for this reason, scientists won't be able to carry out experiments proving or disproving God's existance. i ought to ask you although, what makes you imagine that faith has more beneficial credibility than technology. technology admits even as that's incorrect and it helps itself with data. faith is so boastful that it under no circumstances admits to creating blunders and the in worry-free words data helping it comes from a e book that would or received't be authentic. (The Bible has been used to justify slavery and the e book i discussed is for sure the Bible. i'm no longer affirming that God likes slavery, yet guy has used faith to justify cruel remedy of diverse human beings. See White guy's Burden.)
