Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I don't really disagree with Saad, however ... one wants to be into science, not scientism. Science and reason tell us how to make fusion bombs, not whether we should or if we do, when to use them. For that you need philosophy and ethics, applied to science and reason. Also, critical thinking so that you have some sense that you're reasoning properly.

There is a difference because they realize that comics are fantasy and just for entertainment purposes. It is not like they conflate the comics with reality.
@bobhoff59 ahem.
@GipsyOfNewSpain ahem adds no value to the discussion.
@bobhoff59 That shows the value of the discussion. Ahem, ahem. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Every time someone speak of the great civilizations like pharoah's egypt and cesar's rome I love to remind them how full of religion and superstition they were and how 2,000 years from now, same thing will be said of this Era. He, he, he, ha. Ahem.
@GipsyOfNewSpain Ok, if I am reading your words correctly, you are equating science with religion??? Is that correct? You think that what we call science today, will be looked on as superstition in 2000 years? I highly doubt that.
@bobhoff59 Your words not mine... you are the one in the science cult.
@GipsyOfNewSpain I am actually paraphrasing your words. They are not mine. I do not belong in a cult. I am in the cult of evidence. That which can be shown to be true with hard evidence is true. It works in the court of law, it works in science.
@bobhoff59 he, he, he, ha, speaking as a true lawyer now... he, ha, ahem!
