    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.

    Yeah! This 'religion' thing is more appealing.

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

    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

    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?

    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.

    typical responses.

    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.
