Re: The dangerous side of faith
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Be warned, science and religion, or faith, at least, do not mix. [/ QUOTE ] This is wrong. At the beggining of history religion and science were together, until today science still requires some faith. [/ QUOTE ] OK, ancient religion and modern science don't mix. Don't get me started on "faith in science" [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: The dangerous side of faith

I tend to picture the search for knowledge being an 'open' thing... you have to allow new knowledge to replace old knowledge. Most of the 'true believers' as a rule reject any new information that contradicts their Faith. This is incompatible with the search for knowledge... or least truth.

Re: The dangerous side of faith
Believe it or not many scientists reject new information that contradicts theyre theories.
Scientists are also subject of stubborness.

Re: The dangerous side of faith
1)Do you seriosuly think christianity is the same now as it was 150 years ago?
2)The fact that science evolves doesnt mean that scientists are not subject to stubborness. Example: Joe thinks A Luke comes with theory B Joe reject theory B and sticks with A Joe dies. We move on to theory B.
