Can you be a scientist and still believe in religion?
Alex Mercer replied to Mnemonic's topic in Religion
The topic by OP is about religion/Christianity since he mentioned Jesus which is why I mentioned God. -

Alex Mercer replied to Mnemonic's topic in Religion
We will never really understand the world we live in because there is no universal truth. And because there is no universal truth then a belief in God doesn't seem as silly since what do we really know besides what is accepted by majority belief. -

Because there is no universal truth only that which is accepted by the majority. -

Yes there are many throughout history and still living now that have contributed to science. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christians_in_science_and_technology And no it's not silly to believe in God because we will never really understand the world we live in. -

What happens when Science gets things wrong.
Alex Mercer replied to studiot's topic in Science Education
What do you mean by science? Do you mean real scientists who make mistakes with medication that give fucked up side effects and even lead to death or do you mean internet forum scientists who contribute nothing. Science seems to be whatever you want it to be you just science is this and science is that changing it to whatever you feel like. -

There are only 2 genders in science: Male and Female. Scientists to the layman with common sense knows born men who identify as women have an advantage and born women have a disadvantage against men in sport that test physical strength including contact sport and running. If you can't see that clear fact then no one can help you.

I don't really have an opinion on those people and I am just explaining the obvious about gender. Seems like genders that aren't either female or male are just labels society choose to create with the evolving times. If we talk about biological constructs of humans which I am pretty sure in science has states of either male or female then that is stating the obvious. What we think of ourselves doesn't matter in science. It's like saying I don't like gravity existing so I am going to say I am not bound by gravity. Unscientific.

I don't see how it is some kind of scare tactic but ok I guess. If we had to cite everything that everyone ever said in this thread or in life then we wouldn't go anywhere. Some stuff you just have an opinion about, like generalizations of the world and people in it. You can call your opinion more educated than mine but there is flaws in it somewhere and at the end of the day it's basically just an opinion. But maybe I am full of shit, it's my opinion though.

The problem is that people think of themselves too highly and think that not being a male or female or being a male when they are a born female and vice versa is some kind of statement to the world. I googled it and maybe there is some rare disease that mis shapes the penis or vagina but biologically you are either one. Isn't science about the concrete stuff you see through evidence (penis = man, vagina = woman) or is it just a floaty term we use that changes with society and we want to fit in society?

Cmon seriously, people saying at the start there are more than 2 genders? Wtf one has penis other vagina, and you can get surgery but still doesn't change how you were born. Also I think even scientists agree and swans agreed also that people born male are generally stronger than those born female so it makes it only fair with how the system of sport was made (category separation) that they are separated and transgenders compete in what female/male category they were born in. Or if the system was different and categories didn't exist we could just have a bunch of females coming last all the time. Dude it's called a thought experiment
