Zen Pencils by Gavin Aung Than for May 25, 2015

Science split the atom, created fossil fuels and gave gun powder to the world.

Scientists also created chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Scientists oversaw the the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, the Stanford Prison Experiment, the Monster Study (where orphaned children were mistreated), Homosexual Aversion Therapy and many scientists and doctors oversaw the experiments on humans during the Holocaust.

So don’t get a swelled head. Science is a two-edged sword.

Yeah, but it wasn’t scientists that used it to screw things up. Mostly…

Science is like a tool. How it’s used depends on whose hands the project…..and it’s funding……….is being controlled.

What’s wrong with homeopathy? It’s science also!

Wow! Well done, zenpencil.

Take care to respect science not worship it. Many of the world changing scientific discoveries have at first been seriously doubted by the scientific community.

With science,you have to ‘Prove’ the statement[theory] over and again. Science is always looking for the truth. Prove ‘it’. :) Peace.

Must I remind y’all.. A Theory is not Fact. It is not Proven. Theory is simply an explanation of what has been observed. It is neither proven nor disproven.Should there be an observation that is not explained by accepted theory, said theory is amended to explain the new observation.The street in front of my house was wet and water was standing this morning. My theory is that it rained last night. I did not see or hear it rain, I haven’t watched any news report.I could have theorized that A fire truck sprayed water all over everything.

I’ve had experiences with ESP and so have many of my friends. Unfortunately, I don’t know of anyone who can harness it to his or her whim. The more we learn of the way brains work, how electromagnetic and quantum fields work, we might find a scientific basis for psychic phenomena.

Now now people there is plenty of room in this world for all of us. We can all live together under one roof, no matter who or what you believe created it.

The problem is that when you start excluding sources of information and data because you don’t understand how they work or because you’ve inherited an unreasoning prejudice you introjected early in life, science fails. I love science, but we have to recognize, “science” is a word that comes from the Latin and means “knowledge”. We can gather knowledge from everywhere and use scientific method to determine its usefulness as we continue to test its validity—not through prejudice, but through validated experimentation.

Theories are SUPPORTED, not proven. LAWS are effectively proven, until such time we find a way around those as well. The point of a theory is that it can be tested via experimentation, and, if correct, have those experiments produce consistent results. That looks a lot like “proof,” but one must be careful when using “proof” or “proven.”

had to share this one

My accupuncturist has fixed things that the doctor couldn’t but that has to be done on one person at a time so can’t ever have a mass effect. That doesn’t make it invalid. This included a large, swollen, very visible rash. Scientific modern medicine is more efficient if it works, but it’s sort of 1 size fits all.

I could write a lot, but in reality to compare homeopathy to creationism and fortune tellers means someone’s an idiot and would never understand. BTW : I’m a doctor. A “real” one, not a homeopathy practitioner. This is how I know that there are many ailments that “science” cannot do much about, but homeopathy can.
