One thing I've learned about science is that it and everything else is not absolute. as good as a theory may be there is always room for suggestion as long as sufficient data is presented and is tested vigorously, heck bill nye the science guy use to encourage people to test theory's but why is it some certain believe what there told and don't even question it?
I've seen people criticize others for not questioning there religion yet except theory's excepted by the scientific community without hesitation I'm not saying there's some kind of conspiracy but why do people except things so easily then criticize others for doing the same thing?
1. I very much admire this post. I love science and am glad to see someone else in here that is not under the misconception that science expresses itself as an absolute. That seems to go over many people's heads. What science concludes to be true today may not be true tomorrow.......it's only as good as the knowledge/data it's based on. When that knowledge/data change, so does science.
2. To answer your question quite simply:
Science not only gives the answers.....but shows how the answers were attained so any person walking this blue orb could research or test any scientific fact to see the results for themselves. We don't have to take anybody's word for it.........and many people don't. That is why science is continually changing......we keep seeking out new information to test/challenge old scientific fact. If nobody questioned and merely took others' words for facts, we would still believe in the geocentric universe. The average Joe usually just accepts scientific facts because it has been tested by many, many people who have come to the same conclusion.....and them telling us how they reached that conclusion so we ourselves can test it if we don't believe them. If the scientific community agrees on a fact concerning biology and I don't agree with it......I can always study biology and do the same research and run the same tests they did.
That is something religion has never done and never will. Religions state something and simply say, "this is true".....they never tell how they arrived at their conclusion for others to check their work and most of it is claimed to be due to an invisible man in the sky. If Christianity said, "God made earth in 6 days...the earth is only 6,000 years old" then went on to list all the credible research and data they have collected over the past few millenia to support their conclusion, they wouldn't get nearly as much grief for it. They simply do not do it because they have infact never done any research or collected any data......their claims are based soly on the writing of a story some guy made up in his head. I mean really.......the first carbon-13 test of any fossil of any dinosaur, mammoth or even ancient human would completely destroy their theory if they ever actually decided to test evidence and record data.
