What are you opinions on this?

anglophone comments on Jul 21, 2022:

It depends what you mean by power. It can be terrifying to discover that I sometimes have ungodly power over other people. As for my ability to control myself, I sometimes have very serious doubts about that.

Maybe this is a dumb question however it needs to be asked.

As @Druvius has so accurately observed, the universe has no edge. The teaching of Euclidean geometry in primary school can have all sorts of unintended consequences, and your question is one such consequence. Just to add to your mental confusion (sorry about that) we are talking about and can only ever talk about the observable universe, such observation being carried out by whatever means we can devise.

Is scientific progress a 'good' thing?

anglophone comments on Jul 17, 2022:

The answer to your question "Is scientific progress a 'good' thing?" depends on your viewpoint. From the viewpoint of wanting to know how the natural world works: probably yes. From the viewpoint of wanting to develop technology: probably yes. From the viewpoint of somebody affected by the technology: it depends. From the viewpoint of somebody wanting to use a gun to murder somebody: yes. From the viewpoint of the murder victim: no. See also @Fernapple's comment.

These 4 Factors Can Explain Why So Many People Are Rejecting Science

anglophone comments on Jul 16, 2022:

I found that article easy to read. That it cites its sources and each source is well respected within its own discipline adds to its credibility. People who are highly allergic to all four factors may find science in general much easier to understand than anybody who is subject to one or more of those factors. I find the tribal loyalty factor to be really weird when it comes to the matter of one's own health, life and death.

anglophone comments on Jul 15, 2022:

"How do theists "logic" this inconsistency?" The short answer is that they don't. A longer answer is that they rely on a process called compartmentalization. An even longer answer is that such people either refuse to or are incapable of applying basic thinking skills to the entirety of their lives.

I have been treated by both doctors of the body and doctors of the mind. In both cases I require to know why they are doing what they are doing. If I don't get satisfactory answers, I move on. For one of my ailments I had to read medical research papers to establish a diagnosis, this because the medical research has not yet reached a sufficiently satisfactory state to include in doctors' training. I now have to educate all new medicos that I encounter about that condition. I may require and have required treatment of both the symptom *and* the root cause for any given ailment. While I am both compos mentis and have sufficient knowledge of my own conditions, my doctors are there to serve and advise me, and I am ultimately responsible for all my own decisions, not them.
