Science is the atheist religion. Its believers rival extremist religious fanatics and is wise to keep them at a distance.

is it not cool that we can now see many more things in the sky and see things that we could see before in greater detail than we have?

Not sure if you are referring to the Flat Earth thread, but the scope of to put brakes on your enthusiasm about science has to do with the evil brought by it.

Imagine unironically thinking this

>>1481
>the evil brought by it
science is merely a tool, it can be used for both good and evil depending on who's trying to use it for what purpose. After all, the same findings that gave us the atom bomb also gave us the basis for nuclear plants, so to blame science for the actions of men is the same logical niggotry as blaming guns for the actions of people. Don't be a nigger, let us enjoy these new findings.

I mean, take a look at the 'rona breads. Sure there is valuable information there, but there's also a fuck ton of schizos.
These fellas have been so thoroughly fucked, that they've even praised Ted Kaczynski at some point. Despite the fact he's a confirmed victim of MK-ultra.

>>1484
The flat earthers seem to be faking it for attention. Respond to their bullshit offensively while expending less effort than them, and they ignore you. They want to waste the time of people taking the flat earth "debate" more seriously than them.

Seriously?

>>1481
There's is nothing "evil" about science. Science is a godly pursuit: to better understand and appreciate God's creation. The scientific method is just a tool to learn things about life.
The only """evil""" that comes about it is when corrupt journalists and politicians misattribute scientific terminology to push their individual agendas or spin media narratives. That's not science; it's just politics.

>>1479
Science isn't a religion. Most scientists are religious. A lot of the biggest breakthroughs in science have been done by Christians.

>>1489
>Science isn't a religion.
Buddha isn't a religion either, but his followers turned him into one. Same with science.
>Most scientists are religious.
Gimma a break. Scientists are so invested in their bullshit that are unable to seek knowledge outside their "peer reviewed" sanitized opinions.

Notice that the flaggit is posting smug twilight in a thread otherwise unrelated except by mention, rather than face, own up to, or admitting that he has AGAIN been destroyed in his own thread and has abandoned

Wishful thinking won't change the outcome. Science and specially its spawn, technology, are evil.

>>1495
Science is literally just the practice of observing facts.
This is the science board. You can expect people to talk about science here. If you don't like science, just hide and ignore.

>>1496
>Science is literally just the practice of observing facts.
Not quite. Humans in their all embracing arrogance want to emulate God. A balance between knowledge and wisdom must be maintained.

>>1497
Nothing about science excludes what you just said. Science isn't mutually exclusive with faith at all. Only fedora-tipping faggots or defensive retards think it should be.

>>1499
>Science isn't mutually exclusive with faith at all.
I'm not religious at all, but science is the fundamental pillar of modern atheism, just saying.

>>1492
>unable to seek knowledge outside their "peer reviewed" sanitized opinions
Because that's not their jobs. Science is about exoteric knowledge. Spirituality/faith is esoteric knowledge, and can't be understood through scientific study.
Science can only tell you about the observable world around you, which is useful, but isn't a substitute for spirituality.

>>1501
>Spirituality/faith is esoteric knowledge, and can't be understood through scientific study.
Glad you brought it. Particle physicists have abandoned the scientific method and embraced sorcery.

>>1500
Atheists like to say that, but science up to and throughout the 20th century has largely been driven by religious people, often even in the name of religion.
Nomenclature, taxonomy, genealogy, etc. we're led by religious people, who considered it a godly endeavor to understand the world around them, not a contradiction to their faith.

>>1504

Yup, those "scientists" use charlatanry and pseudoscience instead of the proven scientific method. By the way, all funded and promoted by their bureaucracies.

>>1505
>"scientists" use charlatanry and pseudoscience instead of the proven scientific method. By the way, all funded and promoted by their bureaucracies.
On that, we can agree. Pseudoscience is the bane of science.
I wouldn't say that the entire field of particle physics is pseudoscience, but it's full of faggots who keep writing unprovable theoretical nonsense to keep the grants flowing.

We are tacking off course. The subject is that technology is evil. Should be a clamp down on science?

The flat earth thread is about flat earth arguments. It is not "astrology general", nor does it demand any monopoly on the subject of planets, or photographs thereof.

>>1512
>The flat earth thread is about flat earth arguments.
I've got you. A thread with telescope pics is about the heliocentric theory.

>>1513
I honestly don't care what you call it. I'm not putting the new telescope photos in the flat earth thread. I'll make a telescope thread this week.

>>1514
I hope you have enough autism to keep it going for weeks, months, or even years if necessary.

Why does it have to go on for weeks?

It wouldn't be about flat earth discussion. That would stay in its current thread.

Flat eartherism is a glowie psyop to discredit sites where being pro-flat earth is permitted

>>1521
this, I refuse to believe that people who are legitimately stupid enough to believe that the Earth is flat after multiple millennia (dating all the way back to ancient Greece, in fact) of people knowing that the contrary is true to have any idea of how to actually navigate the internet. Everything else is feds trying to make us look like idiots.

>>1520
I have. I just refuse to entertain the notion of that argument spilling into every space thread on this separate board.
>>1521

So let's keep that discussion in its own thread.

Explanation to this one is simple: computers are just actual demons trapped inside silicon infrastructures and "enslaved" to the will of the programmer. There is no such thing as artificial intelligence, only demonic intelligence

>>1557
>computers are just actual demons trapped inside silicon infrastructures and "enslaved" to the will of the programmer.
I'm thinking in the nature of electricity, magnetism, and the atomic "theory" (never ever anyponer has seen an atom, let alone an electron).

>>1558
If "computers are demons" what does that make computer programs?

>>1559
An interpreted language to give instructions to the demons.

>>1558
>(never ever anyponer has seen an atom, let alone an electron)
You do realize that there are other ways to indicate that something exists other than direct empiricism, right? Setting the bar to only things you can see with the naked eye is an impossible standard of evidence.

>>1557
>There is no such thing as artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is just a series of algorithms and input-output flowcharts. At what point in the process does there even need to be a 'demon' if that demon only amounts to a glorified button-presser?

Ah, wait, it seems the irony of that post was lost on me.

>>1561
>You do realize that there are other ways to indicate that something exists other than direct empiricism, right?
Of course. That exactly the reason why assumptions are labeled "theories".

>>1562
>Artificial intelligence is just a series of algorithms and input-output flowcharts.
Correct. AI is mostly a buzzword.
>At what point in the process does there even need to be a 'demon' if that demon only amounts to a glorified button-presser?
If the idea of demons inside chips is correct, then demons are tasked to move electrical states from buffer to buffer, like NAND and NOR gates and alike.

>>1565
>If the idea of demons inside chips is correct, then demons are tasked to move electrical states from buffer to buffer, like NAND and NOR gates and alike.
We are getting closer and closer to the autistic ASSEMBLER language.

>>1564
>assumptions
Theories are based on evidence and logic, not assumption. An assumption is just a hypothesis.

>>1565
>demons are tasked to move electrical states from buffer to buffer, like NAND and NOR gates and alike.
Why would you even need demons for such a menial, unintelligent task? We have circuit boards.

>>1569
>An assumption is just a hypothesis.
Correct, and in science those hypothesis are labeled theories. Because science is never settled and is always evolving, those assumptions/theories/hypothesis are expected to be demolished and replaced by new ones.

>>1573
An hypothesis is an assumption before research/experimentation, a theory is made to explain data generated from said research. Get it right faggot.

>>1575
And yet to explain the atomic theory, demons may have their place.
