Funny how the science worshipers alway tout "the scientific method" and refer to "scientific truth". Then they tell us we must change our morals.

Well, fine, but have you notice how scientific "truth" changes every time a new discovery is made? That doesn't sound like "truth" at all.

You would be better off with changing science and constant morals - rather than the other way around.

Really? I've never seen that, especially since science has nothing to say about morals.

That's because there is no such thing as "scientific truth" or anything like that.

Maybe you just don't understand science. Maybe you just need a refund on your education?

Funny how science haters cling to their beliefs regardless of the scientific evidence. Then they tell us that scientific conclusions must change to stay in conformity with their beliefs.

We would be better off if science haters clung to their personal beliefs and let science go about doing the job it does best - creating hypotheses that best explains the evidence at hand.

FLASH for all of our 'evo' friends: there is only ONE set of evidence. The different conclusions drawn from that one set of evidence is based on one's presuppositions about the world, the sources of knowledge, and the amount of intellectual integrity one brings to the lab.

Scientists taught that ulcers were caused by stress. They're caused by bacteria. During the time of belief of stress etiology, did any scientists write about "evidence" that we now know is nonsense? Scientists are frequently "arrogantly wrong."

There is no scientific "truth", just scientific fact.

Science is limited to "truths about the material world". Thus truth changes as we receive more and more empirical evidence. The only moral tenants that science encompasses is the scientific method; Objective, material investigation. How you should behave is not a scientific issue, but an ethical one which involves, faith, free will, spirituality, conscious thought, and , yes, even religion. The two do not conflict, in fact religion begins where science ends.
