How is Science Suspect Mikado?
[Read the article: Dissecting God] [Read more letters about this article: Here] In what way is science suspect Mikado? Of course we should all be skeptical, even if the claims are scientific. But that’s the beauty of science. Science is not dogma- it is a method; it’s alive and dynamic. A scientific claim only holds sway as long as it can be verified through the scientific method. When another claim comes along that is proven with a greater degree of veracity then that theory needs to move over or somehow be revised. Religion on the other hand is chalk full ‘o’ dogma– crusty, unverifiable assertions. I just don’t understand why people continually try to classify science as ‘another religion’. The day that religious claims are supported by repeated double blind studies is the day I’ll give them respect. I’m not holding my breath.
