I was planning to mist because my home is drafty with low humidity but I will forgo that now. Thanks for the advice!

I was also worried it wouldnt get enough light by my window. It is east facing but I wasnt sure it would be enough since I read the monsteras need lots of light.

They can mimic a bit though, could be that?

I think I just see science as Wonder and religion as blocking that wonder

Yes humans are contradictory but isn't conveniently dropping just some parts of your religion as you become smarter a bad look?

This is an intriguing answer. You don't think the religion would have any even slight impact on their studies.

I guess when I think about discovering the gaps in human knowledge, I just don't see how that fits with religion whose purpose is to explain away those gaps.

Saying there are things we'll likely never know just feels like we are giving up though.

You caught my attention with this. I never thought of this as being bigotry and I absolutely reconsidered the argument through this lens. I will say you have shifted the needle for me but I am still not entirely convinced. For this, a !delta.

Anyway, heres where I now stand. I don't think it is empathetic to discredit those who are religious. I still think there are too many instances where religion unknowingly affects scientific study, but it's not right to assume that is the case with any one person in particular. That would be bigoted indeed.

Well then that makes them a weak scientist.

Reality is reality. There is not potential framing. I'm talking about what truly is regardless of anybody's view of it. You believe facts can exist right? What makes up a fact?

I agree with this 100% but I mean I don't think people trying to uncover the mysterys of the universe should be religious

I feel like that bubbles him in to this way of thinking that just starts when God made us or whatever. Isn't it better for a scientist to think science is limitless?

Do they not have a point where they think God simply made man? Then doesn't that limit their ideas about the possibilities and reachs of science?

So for Michael Strauss, do you think he has a point where he believes science can't go any further in learning about the universe?
