OK so I got a question. I agree Science is way easier to prove but can you really say that out of our existence everything just happened to fall in place perfectly enough for man to be here. If you compare every other species on the planet, none is even close to our advanced way of thinking or technological advancements. So this is all by chance?
There is a lot of evidence of species along the way that paint a picture of man's development. Some of our nearest surviving relatives, like (common) chimps and bonobos, may be closer to our level of reasoning than you realize.
Earlier I referred to humanity as a biological singularity, where they change and advance on their own from generation to generation, leading to an exponential level of growth in complexity. This concept mirrors the idea of a singularity in artificial intelligence, where we make an AI that is capable of improving itself (making a better AI), and the system takes over from there as it increases faster and faster. Would you say that this sort of thing is impossible, or would need a supernatural spark, or just the right conditions to get the ball rolling?
Also that thing about science is always right and easy to prove....I just keeping thinking about how the earth was flat...
I don't think anyone ever really trying to observe or measure the entire earth concluded it was flat. People have observed that their local area is relatively flat, which is true. Without being able to observe curvature they had no reason to account for it. That's not science, that's intuition, going for an explanation that simply makes sense. A lot of religious mythology does this - went for an explanation that made sense to the people who came up with it. For example: normally, our senses represent the physical reality before us. So when we have hallucinations, it's intuitive to believe they represent some physical reality. When people have near-death experiences they may feel their life flash before their eyes, detachment, peace, moving towards a bright light, meeting with deceased loved ones, etc. The intuitive explanation for this (for those who still lived to tell about it) would suggest an afterlife; the explanations we've developed empirically via the scientific method aren't as accessible. But that doesn't make the intuitive answer science, merely a hypothesis.
