Should science replace religion?

[just me]

You mean you will delude yourself into thinking that you understand the universe.

no matter how silly a being you may be, you can understand anything, the universe or otherwise, if you have a method of figuring out things that can not not to be the case, and that method is logic.

Disagree

Logic is based on knowledge then reasoning .

If any of these two are wrong , then the logic is wrong .

 

[river]

What should replace both , science and religion , is knowledge .

can not not

typo ?

 

[(Q)]

If you get rid of science, you can't obtain knowledge.

Agreed

But the thing about science is that it has become more political rather than pure thought . Politics gets you the money . But not the freedom of thought .

I wouldn’t go that far.

 

[(Q)]

I wouldn’t go that far.

How far would you go? Is there some other method for gaining knowledge?

Yes

The paranormal .

 

[(Q)]

Yes

The paranormal .

What knowledge have we gained from the paranormal, exactly? How have we put this knowledge to use?

That it can effect things .

We haven't .

 

[(Q)]

That it can effect things .

We haven't .

So, one side we have science that has provided us with massive libraries of knowledge that keep growing everyday and used in countless applications across all avenues of human and physical endeavor, and on the other we have the paranormal that has provided the knowledge that "it can affect things".

I think you've discovered the reason why we can't use any knowledge from the paranormal and why it is useless as a tool for gaining knowledge.

Hmmm...I see .

Yet people experience the paranormal .

Hence knowledge .

Then, if people experience the paranormal, what knowledge are they gaining from it? What do we now know that we didn't know before? Anything?

That there is more to life ; than just its physical form .

 

[(Q)]

That there is more to life ; than just its physical form .

What exactly is the "More" to life? What is the non-physical form?

Life has a spirit .

 

[river]

What we seem to forget is that life as well exists in our Universe .

The Universe is more than just Quasars , Galaxies , Suns(stars) , planets etc. It has life as well .

 

[(Q)]

Life has a spirit .

Then, why isn't that common knowledge? Why has life been explained without the need of invoking a spirit? Why hasn't such a thing ever been shown to exist?
