FortunaNoctis ::: Favorites The tools of science, medicines, biochemistry, engineering, all benefit human beings. It takes politicians and religious ideologues to turn those tools into weapons. There isn't a coherent scientific movement on Earth that desires to create weapons; what you're talking about is the creation of killing machines by individuals who stand to gain power and money. Such is the behavior of generals, defense contractors, and politicians, not scientists. 07-08-04 07:13:31 _____________________________________________________
FortunaNoctis ::: Favorites In the event of "incurable" disease, faith shrugs its shoulders and says well at least now we can turn to our fantasies for comfort. But science says, "no, we can do better. If we work harder, stay up later, work the models, take the data, and improve the technology we can cure these diseases." I see a huge difference between those two worldviews and anyone who is thinking can as well. Faith is about feeling good. Science is about solving problems in the real world. 07-08-04 07:15:21 _____________________________________________________
FortunaNoctis ::: Favorites Only soldiers and fundamentalists carry out wars; only zealots or politicians use science as weapons. And religion encourages hate, homophobia, fear, and greed far more than it encourages love. Science helps people in a time of depression thanks to psychology and neurophysiology; and without biochemistry and agriculture there would be no world outreach, no clean water, no food, no medicines. And no deity has ever been in an operating room, holding the scalpel. Scientists called doctors do that. 07-08-04 07:42:43 _____________________________________________________
nethernovas85 ::: Favorites "The tools of science, medicines, biochemistry, engineering, all benefit human beings. It takes politicians and religious ideologues to turn those tools into weapons." - Well said FortunaNoctis. Science has always stood for aiding humanity and (with downfalls along the way) aiding in preservation of the environment. 07-08-04 12:29:41 _____________________________________________________
nethernovas85 ::: Favorites Religion??? You mean the reason our country will not give AIDS ridden countries condoms?? You mean the reason millions of people have been killed in the name of someone's god? Or killed for "holy" land? Fundamentalists & religious extremists < George Bush < Cavemen < (insert your god here) < MC Hawking ;-) 07-08-04 12:31:48 _____________________________________________________

apathyboi ::: Favorites there is no reason why people cannot accept the good value of both as oppose to bad mouthing the aspects of each others that they dont like/dont understand.Dont attempt to patronise these people by saying theyre are not thinking just because they dont think the same way as you; thats ignorance. 07-08-05 07:10:37 _____________________________________________________
apathyboi ::: Favorites people solve problems and relate to problems in differnt ways and religion answers some questions for people that science could never give them the answer for, and if that does make them feel good whether it be "fantasy" or not, you and no-one else on this planet are in the postion to tell them otherwise 07-08-05 07:11:08 _____________________________________________________
