/sci/ - Science & Math

- the same goes for dark matter and dark energy. Our theories suggest that these two exist. We can perfectly imagine them to be there. But it could also be perfectly true that the theories that suggest their existence are somehow flawed or even plain wrong.

tldr: Science and Religion make assumptions that are "a priori" assumed to be true. The difference however is, that in science you can construct experiments that have the potential to refute those "a priori" assumptions. We call this falsifiability. Science does not even claim to prove something. All that science can claim is something like this: "All experiments that we thought of up until now did not refute or <span class="math">dis[/spoiler]prove our initial theory. Therefore it is very likely for our theory to be true."
In science we construct theories and it is always possible to go either way from there. This theory can be either "<span class="math">wrong[/spoiler]" or "<span class="math">probably\;true[/spoiler]".

Religion on the other hand completely lacks this falsifiability. There is absolutely no way to think of an experiment that is in principle able to disprove gods existence. In Religion you guys construct theories and their can only be "<span class="math">true[/spoiler]". No other possibilities.

And yes, I'm mad.
inb4 you don't give a fuck.
