They (often myopically) observe phenomenal reality and occasionally shout Eureka! <br /><br />As for “scientific discoveries” we had flat earth, black holes, pre-big bang void, big bang followed by big crunch, flat universe, multiverse, black energy, and a dozen other “discoveries” to make their equations work. No, I do not dismiss science, nor the scientific method. I dismiss the priests of science who treat speculations as natural laws. There are as many good scientists as there are good priests, which is a poor reflection on both, science and religion. Sorry. <br /><br />My own views are expressed in “Delusions—Pragmatic Realism”. It is on Amazon. It costs $2.43, less then a hamburger. Enjoy. <br /><br />PS. A man many recognize as a scientist, by the name Albert Einstein, said: “A man of science is a poor philosopher. “ And philosophy is love of wisdom. <br />stan@stanlaw.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240385919703527628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860928176864796725.post-91193270876951096472015-07-01T01:49:36.774-07:002015-07-01T01:49:36.774-07:00In all fairness to scientists, the scientific meth...In all fairness to scientists, the scientific method is not dogmatic but always open to change with new evidence and new discoveries. It takes a whole lot of proof to turn theory into law. Science is somewhere between knowing nothing and knowing some things, and then understanding some things better. Otherwise you wouldn't know enough to be able to say how little you know. Please don't lump scientists in with priests. They are at opposite ends of the scale, with diligent search for truth versus self-satisfied, unquestioning faith. Science is the open door; religion has its doors nailed shut and windows boarded up.
