Religion and Religious Type Concepts Thread

[Shannon]

Hey Shannon, I wanted to get your opinion on this video.... and anyone else as well.

I think that "reality" is a lot more complex than humans understand, and that humans like to assume they know everything every time they discover a piece of the puzzle, no matter how many pieces of the puzzle they actually hold or whether they are put together properly.

Look at the history of science and tell me that they have not continually found themselves to be wrong after believing themselves to be right. About pretty much everything!  Again, and again, and again.  Each step creates greater understanding, but the new level of understanding is not complete, as humans would like to assume it is; we don't know what we don't know, but science likes to forget that.  It's never, "Our current understanding leads us to this conclusion." it's always "We know for a fact that X is true and Y is false because of Z."  Which later turns out to be partially or in whole predictably incorrect because new information and understanding is added to the picture, as happens again and again in the history of science.

That said, I do believe that science has the gist of it as it is.
