luke warm Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 It means a few more people might realize that the pronounements of scientists are not unassailable truths, but the best explanations available at the time. Hopefully, people will learn the same truth about religious doctrines, too. huh?I was referring to this: That hopefully mankind will learn that religious doctrines are...not unassailable truths, but the best explanations available at the time. yeah, but ... why?

Isn't that a proper method? I think the original thread is rather interesting, but I cannot contribute to it in any meaningful way - however, I thought I should be allowed to point out a different take on his someone else's view.

I didn't construe your original response to my post as a "different take." Neither did I. But it seems Jimmy did. i thought my comment was simply an extension or yours - which I happen to agree with. I only meant to point out that science and religion both share a commonality of ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
