Re: Yes... science is a religion

And you have a position on my God, because He is your God too. If you say He is not your God, then that is a position.

Reread Crash's statement that you quoted. Where does he put forth his position on god?

Re: Is the Religion of Sience based on monotheism?

"If we consider the Ancient world the polytheistic Greeks contributed more to proto-science than the monotheistic Hebrews." This is an outright false statement with no proof stated.

First how about you provide proof for your assertion:

Without the monotheistic religions, the study of science would never have started

Re: Quit making stuff up

so quote the part where subbie says:

science cannot be a religion because it has no rules.

Re: Quit making stuff up

Science is not a religion, as others here have said, because it does not concern itself with matters of faith, of morality, of purpose

Is not the same as:

science cannot be a religion because it has no rules

Re: Quit making stuff up

Morals are rules of conduct.

But morales/rules of conduct are not owned only by religion, unless you think Robert's rules of order are establishing a religion. Simply having rules of conduct does not make science a religion.

Re: Quit making stuff up

Morals are owned only by religion.

Bullshit

If you have no religion then you have no reason to value a persons life over a virus's life.

Sure I do. I can appreacite human life without ever getting into some mystical garbage. So if you didn't have your religion you'd be out there kiling and raping? You're a sociopath held in check only by fear of an invisible sky bully?
