Scientists give us a break!?

Question

I really don't think it is so stupid.. or unscientific to believe that this incredible world is designed.
Why can't scientists give everyone else a break in light of how often THEY change THEIR minds.
Science used to teach the universe was a steady state. Now they say its the Big Bang.
Science used to say life was composed of 'simple cells' now they say single cells and they admit things are more complicated than even THEY can understand.
Science says that light speed is a constant but now they are saying it might have varied.
Mathemeticians in one science say Codes cannot just happen, evolutionists keep trying to say DNA somehow plopped out of primordial soup.

THe list goes on an AWEFUL long time.
Don't get me wrong. I am not knocking science. It can do great things. NO QUESTION. But so do people of simple faith and intelligence.
So does any one agree that these all knowing scientists should give us little knowing people a break for the common sense that life is designed?

Looks like so far no one answered the question.

GIve lay people a BREAK in feeling it is rational to believe CODES are designed.

Most of you seem pretty brainwashed into thinking purpose and design can happen over billions of years.

Just give me a break for reading a book and saying there is an AUTHOR>


will one of you give me a BREAK?

nope

Answer 1

Science can't prove God doesn't exist, or that he does, so they just don't deal with God. Science simply looks into how things happen. The way I see it, it is not all that unreasonable to say that if you believe in a God that can do anything, then He could have created a fluid an dynamic world where species do evolve and change, or that He created the universe in the Big Bang.
Like the other guy said, you can't really equate the two because science uses observations and evidence where religion is based on faith.

Answer 2

Science is based on the principle of theory, test and prove or disprove. Back in the days when science did not exist, people still had questions of 'why am I here?'. So some religious elders got together and came up with genesis and other ideas and said here - believe this and the questions will go away. It was a simplified, condensed answer that satisfied most people to get back to work on the crops.

But over the centuries, some people where not satisfied with the answers they got and knew there was more to the story so off they went and found some evidence. Claiming to have almighty power then being shown you are wrong does not go down well, but the earth can only be flat for so long if you want to be realistic about your environment.

Yes, science is full of mistakes, it took Thomas Edison over 1000 attempts to make the light bulb. But science is open and willing to admit its mistakes, unlike some other organizations There is still much science cannot prove or disprove but every day brings us closer to a more complete understanding of the interactions and workings of our environment. Maybe in the end there will be some similarities with previous teachings, maybe there won't. But the answer will be more than belief, it will be right.

I know this world is becoming a very complicated place, but your place in this world does have to be that way. You are free to believe and dream anyway you want. With such a controversial and unknown issues like creation, no one knows until the evidence comes in, they can only believe.

Answer 3

I think you've missed a very important point here. Science does NOT claim that intelligent design is false or invalid. Science also does NOT claim that intelligent design is true or valid. The ID "theory" deals with the supernatural, and the supernatural is something that science cannot test. There is no experiment I can run that will conclusively prove or disprove the existence and influence of a deity in nature. Such a concept is a matter of faith and is not something that can or should be addressed by science.

Another point that I think you've missed is that science, by its very nature, is always evolving and changing. That means that the "official" position of science is fluid and always seeks to account for all the evidence. This is not a sign of inaccuracy or ad hoc waffling; it is a manifestation of the process by which science seeks to understand the natural world.

If you're waiting for science in general or scientists in particular to throw in the proverbial sponge and say "Okay, we give up! God must've done it!", you'll wait forever. It's not going to happen. However, the *reason* it's not going to happen has nothing to do with individual scientists' views on God. The reason you'll never see this happen is because it requires science to make a claim that it cannot possibly test, and that is the one thing that science can never and should never do.

Answer 4

you completely miss point of research if you say scientists should hang on to old ideas despite new evidence contradicts it. Science is about the best way to explain how our world works. Sometimes ideas turned out to need change or refinement. It is actually the strength of science that it doesn't hang on to an idea once there is sufficient evidence to the contrary. It would be very good for your intellectual development if you could do the same.
As an analogy (not the best one, but all I can come up with now): your room is dark, you see some black shadow on your chair in the shape of a monster. But when you switch on the light you see it's really your jacket. Back when there was insufficient light, you couldn't really see what it was, but now that you have more information, do you think you should insist there is a monster on your chair and continue to be afraid? Just because your brain is too lazy to change its view of the world around it. Would that be useful to you?

Answer 5

There is a definate gray area between what science can explain and what science has not (or can not) explain.

For many thousands of years religion tried to force some of it's ideas as facts. As we've advanced as a civilization, we've found a great many "facts" as put forth by religion were false. That is why you see a great backlash against regilion in our society.

Just as religon was wrong to take such an arrogant stand on information, you are starting to see the same arrogance take part in the scientific field. Evolution would be a key example. There are so many many signs that point to evolution being true that lots of people accept it as fact. That's a slap in the face to what science is about; its about being able to explain and comprehend something down to every last detail. Evolution is still not at that 100% detail yet but it is still flaunted fact.

Science has explained so many mysteries over the past hundered years that it's truly impressive. Kept in perspective though, science hasn't yet answered 1% of all the mysteries of time, space, life, and death.

You have those that think religon (faith) is part of the explanation to the 99% of unanswered questions, and you have those that think science will explain it all.

Answer 6

In terms of genetics, intelligent design is based on the unrealistic genetic fantasy of pre-formed genes waiting for species that might eventually need them to appear.

And DNA, which is very complex, did not just "plop out of primoridial soup." The development of simple cells with DNA was preceded by about a billion years of chemical precursor events. An RNA phenotypic world long preceded any appearance of DNA.

Read some good books about science and it won't some so confusing.

Answer 7

You have to understand that science is always evolving. It makes mistakes and it rectifies....just like in your life. To stubbornly think that you can have some facts about one thing to be black or white is childish. The world was not built on just 2 colors. What you need to do is to expand your horizons and always willing to learn new things. NEVER EVER EVER EVER try to generalize and simpliy anything like how you are doing now about the design of life. Doing this will only show your ignorance and laziness in learning about the real issue.

Always do your own research! never go by what others say. This is the best advice I can give you.

Good luck

Answer 8

The Russians ought to venture themselves with their very very own united states of america, I heard a pair of month in the past that some thing like a million/4 to a million/3 of their inhabitants are alcoholics and are demise from issues like cirrhosis of the liver and different alcohol appropriate ailments

Answer 9

Science seeks the truth, wherever it leads, and does so to benefit all humanity. It is not going to stop because you don't understand it and can't handle changing paradigms. You are welcome to go back to the biological and geological science of 150 years ago. But you don't have the right to demand that the whole world goes back there with you.

Answer 10

Science is based on evidence. Religion is based on faith. There is no evidence for religion. So it isn't surprising that scientists don't promote it. Science and religion are two different things.
