It's meaningless. The problem is that Faith has power and that is what annoys the more vorciforous objectors - they don't understand the nature of belief. Which is a curiosity because a lot of what they believe to be "fact" and "science" are also articles of faith. Amusing in some ways. I couldn't have said it better myself, Tom. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access I guess the "faith" part of science is the belief that the use of observation to confirm a hypothesis will bring the truth; whereas, the faith of religion involves certitude without direct evidence. Science can be a religion to some, but I think it should be taken with the same grain of salt that science uses for everything else. Religion should stick to things like good moral foundations (and be certain in them without imposing ritual and dogma), and a religious person should act out those foundations in his/her daily life. Faith has a place in society. It should be learned from observing those around us who are truly religious (doesn't matter what the religion is). Science also has a place in society. It should be taught, since it gives us so much. -- Nom=de=Plume |
