Would America Be Better Off with More Religion?

it's all science, you fucking queefie beefy.
Speculating and guessing without data isn't unique to science at all. Informed guesswork, hypothesizing, speculating is what every human on the planet does every day.

What sets the scientific method apart is it is testable and repeatable.

NO DATA, NO SCIENCE
 
No matter what flavor of religion someone is, it's likely that they'd be upset if someone else's religion was made the state one.

I think we should tax churches though. They use the same infrastructure we all enjoy, they meddle in politics, and they -- some of them -- are richer than Croesus.
I don't know enough about tax policy to have a firm opinion either way. I'd like to evaluate both sides of the argument. Churches use public infrastructure on the one hand. But on the other hand, are they providing charitable services to the community that would otherwise have to be provided by governments?

I certainly don't want anything unconstitutional, like school prayer, or creation science in the public schools.

On the other hand, I'm a little reticent to say religion must stay out of politics. Martin Luther King invoked religious belief in his quest for civil rights. Quite effectively too. Democratic Texas Senatorial candidate James Talarico is openly stating that his religious values and the social gospel help inform his opinions on public policy. I'm okay with that.

reason and logic are the beginning of science and those permeate every facet of life.

"Science without data is philosophy, as the foundational scientific method requires empirical observation to test, verify, and validate hypotheses. Without rigorous data collection, decision-makers are left fumbling in the dark, leading to a lack of physical guardrails in real-world applications."

empirical observation is not really DATA, per se.

science is not science withou logic and reason, making logic and reason science.

you're a cretin.

all your dumb bullshit is retarded.
 
you're a cretin!

yes there is science without data.

science begins in reason, making reason science.

if you say "no thats' philosophy" you will be the biggest retard on earth.

:tardthoughts:
 
Reasoning without any empirical data is philosophy.
Humans have been doing that for thousands of years
"if you say "no thats' philosophy" you will be the biggest retard on earth."

yep. biggest retard on earth it is.

we all know that.

philosophy and science started as the same thing.

they're both science because reason is the basis of science.
 
philosophy and science started as the same thing!
We are in the 21st century. They're not the same thing anymore, and haven't been for hundreds of years.

Philosophy is deductive reasoning in the absence of empirical data

Science is based the the testability of empirical data, and the inductive interpretation of results.

reason is still science though.
 
reason is still science though.
Virtually meaningless. Almost all forms of human knowledge use reason. History, law, business administration
You can't point to reason and say it is particularly indicative of science.

"Philosophy seeks to understand the fundamental nature of reality, existence, and knowledge through logic and reason, while science investigates the natural world through empirical observation, testing, and experimentation."

So you join hands with @IBDaMann in believing science can be done without data
1. So, you're a science-denying moron who thinks science is "done".
2. You believe there exists science that includes data.
3. You think data is science because you are too stupid to learn what science is.
4. You believe that your Climate religion is science

You're in a world of hurt.
 
No matter what flavor of religion someone is, it's likely that they'd be upset if someone else's religion was made the state one.
e.g. Climate Change.

I think we should tax churches though.
You're a leftist. You think everything should be taxed and all babies aborted.

They use the same infrastructure we all enjoy,
So do the poor. So your position is that rich and poor should be taxed equally.
