Re: space colonization and religion
Religion indeed is part of Society. But not everyone is religious. There simply is NO connection between Science and Religion. There is peer review in Science. The truth rises to the top. Experiments not repeatable lose credibility.
Several things are partition of Society. Doesn’t mean we have to discuss each of them in relation to the other. When Religious dogma, mythology, superstitions and even rekigious principles are discussed with Science the line gets blurred.
People shoukd practise religion in private. But to require religious norms to be in synch with science makess no seense
No peer reviewed journals will accept such topics. Cause circular logic does not cut it in the scientific world. One would get grade F. If one uses religious reasoning in science exam.
Anyway it looks like only way to get eyeballs in science forum is to throw religion into the mix. That’s a shame. Especially when “religious” folks dishonestly accuse the other of disrespecting Muslim scientists. When no such disrespect was shown. Accusing the opposition of ranting and flooding. Simply because points of view are different. Btinging up old ban unnecessarily in this thread. Totally unwarranted. Level of debate reaches 3rd grade.
