GeneralDadmission Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) It's often asked whether religion is a mental affliction. I view it as the preference of the mind to follow an established code of conduct. The conflict of separately evolved conduct codes provides the basis of violence and war. Ultimately no individual is unaffected by preferential biases that are biologically based, only complexity of development can be differentiated. The question I would raise here is whether woo-hate has become the religion of science and negatively effected the capacity of those formally educated in science to interpret the language of a layman as anything bar woosticulation, theroics and ego-driven proclamations?

hypervalent_iodine Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 ! Moderator Note Please more careful of where you are posting threads. This is not a comment or suggestion specifically about SFN, so it doesn't belong here. I am closing this. If you want to reopen it, do so somewhere else (the Philosophy or Speculations section would be more appropriate). Before doing so however, I would suggest reading some threads already dealing with your questions first. This: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/663-spotting-pseudoscience/http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/31045-why-has-my-post-been-moved-to-speculations/Is a good place to start, followed by the many, many threads on, 'is science a religion?'
