For some people Science is like a Religion or even more, it is as if they revere and adore it.
That’s basically a silly assertion, which some religious people may say, who have not studied much of Natural Science.
Earlier you have stated that science and religion are not the same things, but now you have taken two steps backwards with the above claims. This is something that only science-illiterate theists would say.
Natural science is about what can be explained, and if the explanation can be tested or not.
Natural Science (which can be broadly divided into Physical Science and Life Science) is based on evidence, that are verifiable, testable and empirical, not based on belief/faith and worship (which encompassed both “faith” and “reverence”).
Science isn’t about personal preference or like or dislike.
Like dad, here, you are blurring the terms “religion”, “faith”, “worship”, etc, to meet your religious agenda, to fit in your narrow pigeon holes. Just because people disagree with you in regarding to science and religion, doesn’t mean those people worship science.
I don’t worship science, but I do try to understand it, and believe me, that there are many branches and field (and their respective sub-branches and sub-fields) that I don’t understand.
Take the most obvious objection to science, Evolutionary Biology, that some theists and all creationists disagree with. Most of them, never study biology before, or those that have studied little of it, but due to their religious upbringings, tends to object to evolution because they don’t understand science behind it.
Not all theists would agree with you, paarsurrey. People like
@shunyadragon,
@Dan From Smithville,
@Jayhawker Soule, etc, who are religious, and yet well educated in their respective fields in science, definitely wouldn’t agree with your categorizing science with religion.
More recently, I have been learning more about Particle Physics and nucleosynthesis, because I want to understand the origins of matters, simply because I am curious. Particle Physics and Stellar Nucleosynthesis aren’t something that I have studied when I was at unis during the mid-80s and again in late 90s.
Just because I understand some of the mechanisms behind it and have accepted Particle Physics as science, doesn’t mean I worship Particle Physics.
Claiming people worship science, is simply a very ignorant and biased thing to say.
