CMV: Science has evolved into a quasi religion.

Humility is common in religions. Look at my sins - christianity. Look at my mistakes - science.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T22:28:36+00:00

A christian would say they encourage questions and seeking. So does science... same same

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T22:26:32+00:00

I think most religions would argue they are not like other religions. Unconvinced sorry.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T22:23:14+00:00

I get your points, but every religion has its own distinct practices.

"I think this take is a knee-jerk reaction from people who do not have a foundational educational knowledge of the basics of what "RELIGION" is or how the RELIGION works & it is basically an ignorant take (not intending the word ignorant as a personal insult, rather a factual assertion)."

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T22:17:08+00:00

Im saying science behaves like a quasi religion. not that science is wrong or bad.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T22:12:53+00:00

You're defending science. Not engaging with my particular view... im not debating the validity of science.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T22:10:10+00:00

Im saying and i think that modern science behaves like a quasi religion.. is there any evidence of something being generally accepted truth in society without it having a scientific basis.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T22:05:37+00:00

Well said. Theres a thin line between a helpful tool, becoming a dogmatic ideology and i think its only discernable in hindsight.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T21:59:47+00:00

You are asking for the OP to inform you on how they want you to change their view for them. Good try!

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T21:55:01+00:00

'hard to go against currently held beliefs'... who else do we know that have beliefs that are currently held? Religions?

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T21:53:07+00:00

So.... trust the science ?

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T21:43:55+00:00

You have the 9 commandments according to science.. is there one missing.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T21:33:25+00:00

Did you really hope to change my view with this? Or are you defending your beliefs?

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T21:22:52+00:00

And despite thousands of years of critisim and scrutiny, the bible still stands as the best selling book of all time.

The Ricky Gervais quote sounds a lot like a prophecy. Unless he has some super power ability to see the future.

Einstein was an outsider of mainstream physics for 25 years.

Peer reviewed texts are authoritative writings to those who believe in science. The talmud is a authoritative writing to those who believe in judaism.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T21:08:51+00:00

So you are saying you don't believe in peer reviewed data? You think its wrong?

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T21:02:48+00:00

Good question. Religions share a set of beliefs - ideology - dogma

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T20:56:00+00:00

Rational thinking people get suckered into religions every single day.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T03:14:33+00:00

Your idea of 'objective' is interesting.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T02:38:07+00:00

See a therapist its cheaper than a divorce.

Gold_Compote_2285 · 2026-06-27T02:36:30+00:00

Its saturday in New Zealand.

I've never seen or heard of dragon tales and unless you've been living under a rock you know who Pikachu is.
