  • Which you ended by"The scientific approach to religion is to make no opinion on its existence,", which is one of the fallacy in your reasoning, you're reducing it to opinion, implying it can't be treated scientifically.

    Inferring from that, at best you could say that it should be left alone until scientists could even apply the scientific approach. As in, we don't know, as you said. And that doesn't preclude faith, which isn't mutually exclusive with being scientific.

    To be clear, what I read a lot in this thread, is being scientific should automatically infer you can't be religious, because you can't prove it's real. But it omits that you can't prove it isn't.

    Granted, the mistake might from where it started, IE this post where the scientist was being very unscientific.

  • If you were scientific, you'd know you're taking a shortcut, ironically not being scientific.

    The likeliness of it doesn't matter, it can't be proved either way, for now. There are a lot of consistencies between religions.

    Because you can't conceive faith existing with logic doesn't mean it's impossible, and that it discredites people you don't know as a result, is a logic flaw.

  • So, because you don't understand how can someone accepts that something they don't have proof for, can exist, because they don't have proof against after all, you're ready to start doubting their professionalism or their capacity ?

    That seem even more unscientific than what you tried to condemn through a fallacy.

  • Not throwing a pike here, but you are short sighted.

    To think it needs to be compartmentalized or that religion and science are mutually exclusive is a false dilemma as said above.

    Science can simply be the way that God/s would choose to interact with our world.

  • Not comparable, not how viruses work.

    We actually saw COVID coming (researchers and scientists did at least, there are been papers and documentary about it even), but there's a very low chance we'd get yet another pandemic so soon

  • You get streak freezes for free now (through quests), relatively often even, I generally get them back in two days if I use both of them in a weekend because I'm busy.

    I really considered subscribing until I started using it on Firefox because of the ads, without the ads it's a great free experience imo

  • No, they don't punish typos, to the point I sometimes have mistakes counted as typos (I distinctly remember typing Schwimmt instead of schwimmst the other day and it said Be careful typos, but counted it right, end up having to check with my gf in those cases)

    I don't know why the experience seems so different between people, maybe it actually is, maybe it's expectations. All in all it's free, I don't forget that and through Firefox android I get a very good experience.
