re: #1433 Daria Emmons

Science is never perfect and never will be. We never will have a perfect understanding of the universe, and I think the striving for knowledge is what keeps us human.

What is important is whether someone believes in the scientific method or not.

I think it’s pretty hard to deny that it works when applied as intended (even though many try to deny it). I believe that if we are correct in our belief in a creator, that some day (maybe after we’re long gone), science and religion should meet in harmonious agreement on everything. Otherwise, one would clearly be wrong. I don’t like that prospect much (the “otherwise” part).
