Science!

HayleyLyons1

Is anyone else sick of "science"?

Seems everything these days is justified on the basis of science. Well, I'd rather live a life free from these concerns.

Without modern medicine, the computer you are whining on, technology, etc? Welcome to the stone age.

Yeah! This 'religion' thing is more appealing.

'Believing in an invisible being' you say? 'He\she\it created everything in seven days' you say?

Sign me up!

At least someone has the courage to say it! Things were so much better when we were living in hedges, catching smallpox and dying of old age at 40. Screw you science!

I quite like science, it sure beats the hell out of imagination zombies and preachy books written by people on some serious acid trips

Then again.. a lot of science is based on stuff you can't see too ..

Totally...I'd rather justify things based on my own narrow minded views & opinions and crazy religious beliefs I've been conditioned to accept as fact without proof.


Who needs informed research as a basis for decision making - look where thats gotten us.

I suggest you get yourself a time machine and go back to the dark ages where science wont bother you. Of course, you'll need science to get yourself a time machine.

Ok so explain then why you would prefer to live in a world without science?

Typical of what?

And can you point me to some research that backs up your opinion?

I saw that last night. If you start at the top and work your way down really fast, it feels like you're falling.

So, can a person not have an opinion unless it is backed up by the opinion of a "better"?

:eek:

Thought I was the only one! Yay!

But OP please explain your "typical responses" remark! Does not compute! I mean name one thing humanity would benefit without the aid of science!

I direct your attention to this:

I could start a thread on any number of topics and predict exactly what the responses will be, including the "witty retorts", the intellectual replies, the snobs and so on.

People here won't think for themselves, when a topic is supplied they just wheel out their standard response.

As for science, don't confuse years lived with quality of life.

Why did everyone assume the op is a religious guy? Did I miss something here? Why do people always turn stuff into a religious debate..

Yeah caveman had it great. Living for 20 years in the dark and the cold. Being hunted by wolves and bears. Dying of gangreen because he didn't have medicine.

Science is based on reason.
Abandoning science = abandoning reason.
Thread advocating abandoning science = unreasonable thread.
OP complaining that pro-reason responses are unreasonable = ironic.
Unreasonable person being unreasonable = predictable.

In any case, hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side.

I'm not religious. But to answer that question, these people are so scared that they've been "had" by modern society. Their dream utopia has not turned out as expected, maybe there is more to life than facebook, ipads and C++.

Well done for your prediction. Now, why did you start the thread if you knew what responses you'd get?

And please give more detail on your opinion, why exactly would life be better without science?

Well first off I assumed op was a girl.....(I imagined she might be hot too - but thats not an assumption I suppose- just thought I'd throw that in there - are you op- hot I mean?)

secondly....if one doesn't use logic or scientific research as a basis for making decisions

then what are you left with....beliefs I would have thought, religious or otherwise?

I assumed perhaps wrongly that when OP said she was sick of science - that meant logical thought was out the window too

Science is a bit of a broad spectrum no?

This is really funny. If you knock off the top of a pyramid does that mean you've destroyed the base? Does walking out of a county in ireland mean you have left ireland?

Yes, but can you tell the difference between science and scientific propaganda?

Lumen wrote: »

That would depend. Do you think that things are developed solely to please you and make your life better. HAs science never been used to destroy human life? In the future will you be totally controlled by scientific devices?

Maybe reason would dictate that science is abandoned in the interests of human life.

Maybe it is reasonable in the respect that you might not end up in a virtual prison.

Isn't most of religion propaganda though?

OP fights back -

with you on the whole scientific propaganda btw - could have made that clearer at the start though by separating the two or something?

Controlled by a scientific device? Like, some sort pedantic robot?

"Could I have a coffee?".
"Yes."
............
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"I asked you for a coffee".
"No you didn't, you asked me whether you could have a coffee".
"OK, give me a coffee".
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"What is your confidence interval?"
"Er, 95%".
"Please review this with the person standing next to you".

Yes, I can see how that would be irritating.

If you have a problem with science then stop using your computer, build a shack for yourself in the woods and let God take care of you.

It's like me giving out about how shìt everything about television is while I'm still sitting there watching television.

Well there isn't really. This is the world we live in. There's isn't "more".

Enjoy your facebook and gadgetery and other such diversions. Stop looking for the "answer".

You'll be sorely disappointed.

Science told us that Pluto is a planet. Just when we were all starting to like the little guy science told us that he's not a planet at all. Screw science.

Build a shack? Why that would require the use of science! Blaspheme!

Unless you live naked, move into a cave and kill and eat things with your bare hands, you're using science.
