The theory of multiple parallel universes is speculative fiction but as it cannot be tested, it is not science. Evolution is science because there are theories and hypothesis that can be tested by gathering evidence in the fossil record, and by observing living organisms. The most evolved is the on...

I am not sure what you mean with that. Anyway, the definition of "matter" is a great issue. We regard everything we "see" as matter but what is matter exactly? If we define everything as "material" then surely... everything is matter! But that is a tautology. Physics is...

OK. So we see things created by... creators. Does this mean it is utterly LOGICAL and SCIENTIFIC to search for a creator for the cosmos as well? ;) Certainly science can search for a creator of the Cosmos, and if there is some physical cause, science might be able to find it. However if the cause i...

Joke huh?

So math is not science and yet science is based on math The branch of science that is most dependent on it is physics. But physics is not the whole of science just a part of it. And so there are other branches such as biology and psychology for example which are not as dependent on it. The reason w...

What do you think? I don't think the world is as simple as that you can measure anything by the number of synapses they have unless it's ridiculously high or extremely small. Anything in-between is likely to not mean a lot of and by itself. Indeed. We tend to rely too much on "measuring things...

The problem with you religious dweebs is that you believe some things are more powerful than they actually are. Would a supreme being place themselves in a body with all the cheat-codes, invunerable to their toys? Some beings also tend to boast at times, to make themselves look better. This particu...

The answer to the question is, "Yes." “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of t...

Could it be that our senses obscure our view of the world? Yes that is possible, we see the world not as it is, but as it appears through the apparatus of the eye, of sight. But what other way of 'knowing' the world are you talking about, other than what we know from our senses? The example of &quo...

According to the myth, Democritus pulled out his own eyes so as not to be decieved by his senses. Could it be that our senses obscure our view of the world? Could it be that what we see with our eyes makes it difficult to see with the eyes of our mind? Surely our senses seem to be our only window o...

Science can investigate any thing just as long as it is a testable hypothesis that can be subject to potential falsification. For any thing else is beyond it s remit and so is non scientific by definition. Which includes hypotheses that may actually be true but cannot be demonstrated as such becaus...
