a century? i really do think you're deluding yourself. centuries from now there will be people clinging to their mythologies. you seem so convinced that logic can sway the mind of man, ignoring the irrational aspects of the species. things like our notions of romantic love, filial devotion and altruism are all linked to our illogical, emotional selves. there will never be enough "facts" to convince us that everything we "feel" is wrong. in accepting the fallibility of our perceptions, we admit that even our "facts" may be incorrect and therein lies the final loophole for even the most judicious of us.
i saw this yesterday. it has to do with what youre talkin about, so ill post it here
I agree, but I don't think it will be anything like it is today. Not on a global level. If it is, I don't think there will be a "centuries from now" to come.
I'm not sure what you're getting at..
The facts ensure our feelings are right and explain why they're right.
Our perceptions are fallible, but the scientific method isn't when applied properly. Subjective opinions are meaningless, objective facts can be quantified, regardless of our perceptions of them.
Spelling is not the only measure of intellegence or worth. Athiests and false religious hippocrites are dangerous- Enjoy the hell of your own creation elitist NWO scum
I think it's been established that your intellectual capacity is evidenced by far more than simple grammar and spelling errors. Pretty much any term or sentence you get right would be an example of a hideous and deep seated aversion or ineptitude toward intellectual thought. The stuff you spell wrong just offers a distraction in the case of aversion, and confirmation in the case of ineptitude.
Nerds are evil and should be delt with accordingly- Science is really not progress but a dangerous burdon- Igonerance is bliss-
Ah yes, I forgot the alternate explanation; intentional grief. Good catch.
Maybe were a higher step on your theory of evolutionary - maybe God has gifted us and we have evolved to use a better form of language.
So inability to use proper grammar is a step up? I wish I could be as self-deluded as you appear to be, it must really be blissful.
that's a little like asking why we can't have a flower without all that annoying green foliage getting in the way. it all comes from the same place. while there are chemical and sociological causes for these things, that they manifest themselves in the way they do is as irrational as the god myth itself.
i can appreciate your devotion to the rigors of science, but your fanaticism on the matter is a naive conceit. our observation effects that which we observe and our interpretation of the "facts" revealed places human bias into the equation. the scientific method is a human creation and as imperfect as its creators.
So what? I asked you why we couldn't have love, filial devotion or altruism in a religionless world. You seem to be the one making that claim. What do you have to support that?
The scientific method eliminates human bias, which is one of the major reasons it was designed the way it was. But instead of saying "it's flawed!" and that's that, tell me how it's flawed, give me an example in which the scientific method was applied properly yet human bias or other human factors contributed to incorrect results.
is it? the punishment for attempting to thwart the laws of nature are often cataclysmic and seeing the hand of god behind such punishment is no different than believing that some deity consigns us to the fires of hell for transgressing its other rules. it is merely redefining the agency of the god myth's design.
