EXISTENTIAL MEDITATION ON SCIENCE, RELIGION, AND SCIENTISM 2019-01-19
-
The science within faith: science and skepticism's place within religious subcultures, which some (especially fundamentalists) see as corruption.
-
The faith within science: the faith in retrospective science (especially if time flows both ways), uniformity, the law of averages, and reduction.
-
The place for scientists of faith (including fundamentalists and atheists).
-
The cases for and against stealing, lying, cheating, killing, torture, rape, terrorism, and warfare (especially as expedients).
-
The problems with sampling, rounding, uncertainty, ridiculous inference, cultural biases (like racism), and no randomizing being available.
-
Dreading nihilism and absurdity: Looking for a cozy hole in the Void left when God died (see: behaviorism, Holocaust).
-
You are "here" and then "after" that where?
-
The perils of omnipotence, omniscience, and one-stop shopping: considering the source of evil and suffering.
-
Is it science, or is it political philosophy?
-
Is it religion, or is it yet more political philosophy?
-
What about Progress...? Mo' better blues?
-
Seeking answers.
-
Seeking evidence.
-
The biology of hope and despair.
