Science makes a wonderful servant and a terrible master. The problem is that science can only ever offer probability never certainty. Something may be very probable and yet completely untrue. Conversely something may be very improbable and yet completely true. Science is terrible at dealing with paradox and is easily co-opted.
I mean, sure I guess. But god doesn’t seem to even do that at least with most people, hence the thousands or religions people believe with “absolute certainty” that theirs is the one true religion.
It's becoming increasingly common isn't it? along with labeling "conservatism" a cure all? I've been around _TheDonald for 5 years and this is one of the more irritating developments. I'm not sure what to make of it yet.
I know, right? You show up in the eleventh hour and there's, like, a culture already there or something! And it's about damn time everyone changed to make you feel more comfortable!
Then you can bring in all your friends, change all the rules, and evict everyone who was there beforehand--just like the SJWs do!
Yep. The word "science" literally means "knowledge," by which is understood knowledge of the material world. And nothing IN science can prove that there is nothing BUT science, which is to say, all the material means in the world to measure all the material things of the world are unsuited to ascertain spiritual verities, which only God (Himself a spirit, whom must be worshipped likewise) is able to reveal. There is a wonderful quote by a Canadian canon, a cleric named Dyson Hague, if memory serves, that we expect good musicians to be musically inclined, therefore, by analogy, Scripture (which speaks of spiritual things) may be understood only by spiritually-minded persons.

Lol uh huh. "It's not the glaring contradictions, lies, and falsehoods pushed as dogmatic fact, you're just not spiritually inclined enough!"
I think this is a point that makes for some bad advice, but I know it comes from a good place. There IS certainty in life, it's just not abundant. It's often attributed to things that it doesn't have.
When I want to be reminded of certainty I go to the ocean and look out.
Not to mention scientist are literal whores worse than hollywood. Their need for funding has brought nothing chip away at the progress we've made in society.
The shit they say about Christianity delaying the progress of science, guess what? They're right. Critical race theory, trannies, genital mutilation as a cure, sugar is healthier than fat, climate change treaty that gives the worse polluters absolute power to pollute the world even more, all just for the sake of science and progress.
Remember that Curie chick? Remember that gay dude John Wayne? The atom bomb? How many are we willing to sacrifice to discover a microscopic percentage of the nature of god
"Critical race theory, trannies, genital mutilation as a cure, sugar is healthier than fat, climate change treaty that gives the worse polluters absolute power to pollute the world even more, all just for the sake of science and progress."
None of this is science. Science has been co opted by radical leftists like most things in western culture.
Condescending tone, empty rhetoric, pretending to have a higher grasp than my mere mortal self, yep, I'm talking to person who believes in giant cloud people who rule over us. I'll stick to testable "models" over "zero evidence at all." Thanks.
Science provided enough answers to create the cell phone that you're displaying your ignorance through.
Ummm name one thing that can offer certainty? I'll wait. Science has issues sure (mainly it's complete and utter hijacking by politically motivated lefties and it's reliance on research grants to even exist) but this? This is rhetorical masturbation at its finest.

Nothing can offer certainty. People hate living in a world like that but put your bigboy/biggirl pants on because that’s life.
Nothing outside of God can offer certainty.
I mean, sure I guess. But god doesn’t seem to even do that at least with most people, hence the thousands or religions people believe with “absolute certainty” that theirs is the one true religion.
Not "god", God. You're right, there is no certainty in god. There is only certainty to be found in God.
Jeb! can.
In Guac We Trust.
But which one? There are so many to choose from.
Every other poster being a religious nut is getting a bit old.
Sabe me Jebus! Trust in thy lord and everything will be fine. You might kill me, but I'll have the moral highground in the afterlife

Certainty of starvation under communism seems a safe one to me.
Scientific inquiry does reveal that your hypothesis seems to be correct. As of now, communism significantly increases the odds of starvation.

Science produces models, not answers.
This is an arbitrary distinction
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at your reply.
There can be no greater distinction.
Any confusion to this fact belies fundamental ignorance.
Science can not provide answers, full stop.

87% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
