/sci/, how do you feel about people who (often unpredictably) exclaim "SCIENCE" triumphantly and quite loudly?

Pic unrelated.

In other words, it perturbs you?

I feel that irrationality is arbitrary to the human condition.

No. It doesn't really bother me that ignorant atheists and stupid religionists fall from the same tree but land in different yards.

Ah. An unexpected answer. Nonetheless appreciated...

What bothers me is people who proclaim to be rational but inevitably ignore how arbitrary belief systems are in the long run. As if being christian was any more arbitrary than being hindu or atheist.

I had no idea Godel came up with a proof for God.


Also, I'm interested; what do you believe?

Oh. I believe that inevitably, if science continues to advance, then we will prove the probability that god exists as 1.

A most idiosyncratic belief.

I think it'd be stupendous if that happened though!

The down side is that as religion slowly erodes away, a government police state is surely to follow, as psychological security will need to be assured for a functioning society

Irrationality is an essential component of the most important stage in scientific method, experimentation, if there was no insanity it would be necessary to create it.

>> No.3207963

>>3207949
I believe that, if science continues to advance, the probability of God's existence approaches 1. Because we will create one.

Right, but if a schizophrenic recites the gauge field equations, will you call him a genius?

But if you're able to create one, isn't it just as likely that 1 created us? If you determine the plausiblity by proof, doesn't that render us just as likely to be created by 1?

Nah, He's just stuck on the same old out-group, in-group sociology. It only makes him feel better about the nebulous truth he proclaims.

plus, his picture essentially tries to argue that physics is equal tl religion. Thats just an absurd comparison of two completely different bodies of knowledge.

I always thought the supposedly negative dichotomy between science and religion was a big hoax anyway; there's no explicit conflict, you know?

I gotta sleep now. Been sick for a few days. This has been an interesting thread

Primarily interesting because only one troll showed up. Kinda hard to troll when the participants appear rational.
