  • I think you make an interesting point and got me thinking, didn’t want to come of as standoffish or something.

    I just think science pointing at faith loses the nuance between the assumption that a working theory is currently correct and the deep belief in dogma. Technically you could call both faith, but they are very different.

    As you pointed out science deals with unknowns and sometimes there’s not even a theory. Faith has historically been one of the primary ways to deal with any kinds of unknowns, of course, but it’s not the only one.

    I agree that being a scientist and being faithful isn’t a contradiction. I feel like science is a very broad term and certain disciplines might be more or less inclined to be religious though.














  • Imagine being so dense that you’d simp for the fucking Taliban. At least they had something like a secular state and law in place during their occupation. Making it possible for women to attend universities or minorities to simply exist.

    The fact that the occupiers didn’t manage to solve every single problem in this war torn and split up country with no common ground doesn’t mean it wasn’t a net positive. Which it 100% was for everyone but the Taliban.
