An Approach to Life

If you study Science then you would know that there is a reasoning for why things happen. So why would you still believe in ‘god’ when there is nothing scientific about that at all? Hypocrite?

I would have to say no, and even if they were hypocrites it’s not like the rest of us are any different.
We are all humans and we aren’t perfect so we will have flaws including being hypocritical sometimes.
Now as for God not being proved by science your just going to have to understand spirituality isn’t scientific.
They are two different mediums so of course you can’t prove God with science.
Scientist aren’t supposed to prove or disprove God, it’s not in their job description.
So if your waiting for scientist to prove God you will be waiting a while, that’s like asking an historian to cure cancer.
People who have careers in the field of science and are theist understand their profession is separate from their beliefs.

Not to mention a scientist isn’t a scientist 24 hours a day.
They aren’t going to apply the scientific method to every decision they make in their lives.
If they tried to do that it would be quite tedious trying to live a normal life.
Could you imagine a scientist testing out every chair she sat on to make sure it had the right density and foundation to support her weight?
Or if a chemist constantly tested the ph balance of every beverage they drank to make sure it wasn’t too acidic?
No, because trying to do everything scientifically and logically will eventually lead to illogical behavior.
Beliefs aren’t bound to people with certain jobs or IQ’s, we all have our reasons for our beliefs.

A persons profession doesn’t make them ineligible for practicing a spiritual philosophy.

The relation between Qur’an and science is strongly affirmed in Islamic thought. Almost all sources, classical and modern, agree that the Qur’an encourages the acquisition of science and scientific knowledge.

Tough question: what is the interplay between the theory and practice of science? The mind and hands of scientists? Can we know something if we do not experiment on it? I have to write a paper on the A-bomb, and I don’t know how to approach these questions.
This question is for university. I don’t understand what the teacher wants, because I find it is written in a really confusing way. I don’t want the answer, just a clue what he might want. Thanks.

I’ve been reading some of your other questions, and I think you need to get a clue about something: philosophy is 9/10 grammar, syntax, and context. Your grammar and syntax are fine; your context regarding certain words you use is sorely lacking.

You don’t tell us what "interplay" means. It certainly is not a formal philosophical concept of epistemology. My own opinion would be my only answer: will power. You can know many things, but without the will to act on what you know, there is no "interplay" the way I understand the context.

I don’t mean to be critical. But words in philosophy are very important. It’s like, "Say what you mean and mean what you say, because I’m going to take what you say and expect that you meant it."

That is what philosophy is about: expecting that the other guy meant what he said. But since the word "interplay" is given no context, not even your hints at it can tell us what you actually mean.

I don’t feel that it should because the human mind is a complex thing and there are so many factors and exceptions to rule that you could never really make it a black and white page. There are so many grey areas! Maybe one day in the future we will know enough to do so but for now I believe that it is way to grey of an area! I know not everyone will agree with me but just the same that is my opinion. Good luck I hope you find the answer you are looking for.

how do i approach him ?

Go up to him in class and lean over his desk clearly showing your cleavage. Use your sex appeal. If you are ever standing next to him during a lab or sitting close, try to rub your boobs over him, but not too obviously. Make him want you.

I’ve been thinking about doing my science fair project on "gaydar", or people’s ability to tell if someone is gay just by looking at them or hearing their voice.

I’m not trying to be funny or anything, I’m honestly interested in the topic and think it would be an interesting thing to investigate. I would approach it seriously and do a non-stereotypical experiment (as much as possible anyway…).However, my school tends to get mad when people have gay stereotypes and I’m not exactly on the best terms with my science teacher. So do you guys think it would be okay?

Ask permision

The debate over who is G-d or if there is a G-d is an age old argument. Instead of proving or disproving if there is a G-d there is an alternative hypothesis.

Do you believe G-d exists but science has not discovered the means to understand or to prove it?
Or do you feel this alternative hypothesis is based of erroneous philosophy?

NOTE: This is not insult to either side but approach the question of G-d from a philosophical perspective rather than just faith based. Thank you for your time and answers.

it depend on how you define god

if you define it the way most religion do, as an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent force that personally intervenes in the universe…no i don’t believe that god exists

but

if you define god as most world renowned scientists do, such as sagan and hawking, that god is an energy that is in everything…yes i think that might be a worthwhile pursuit

I am going to have a test in political science tomorrow and the professor said that the essay will be harder than usual because the prompt will not be in regular question/compare/contrast type. Rather it is going to be like a statement that I need to build on myself. That means no specific instructions, requests, questions, comparisons or anything whatsoever. Have you ever dealt with this before? What do you think is the best way to approach it?

statements contain ideas that are either true or false. State your reasons for either agreeing with the statement or why you don’t.

The statement will most probably be a quote from some famous person. Focus on the key words. The key words or ideas will relate to a particular subject you have studied.

The idea isn’t to trick you but to get you to show that you have thought about the issues raised in class. So focus on the unit materials and you will be okay.

it should be written for undergraduate studies.

Competition, science, survival of the fittest, the whole alpha male thing, the drive to have the hottest/best cars, best cellphones, best computers, best clothes, look good, trophy girlfriend, the drive to basically have it all ( all the things outside of God), and alot of these people are not nice people, are not holy, are basically very very bad, conniving, player Aholes, and they’re all around us.

For example, you walk into a building or a mall, or wherever, and instead of other humans treating you nice, and living their lives as an example in the Bible,

they treat you either like you’re a nobody, you don’t matter, you’re expendable, you’re just another buddy, someone to compete against, someone to hate against, like you’re a slab of protein meat, like science would say….or they judge you by your materialism , how much you have, what you drive, your clothes, if they’re current or not….

that’s how the world will treat you.

So basically, how do you guys deal with all this crappola?

I deal with it daily, and sometimes it REALLY gets me down because I want to believe in God, and want to treat people nice and have a happy world, but other people HATE the idea of God, and want to go on listening to whatever music they want to, have sex whenever, compete, and totally lead a completely godless life, and f other people, etc etc etc.

How does anyone win here and not get discouraged?

this site here is like a car accident that you happen to drive by, you know you should not look, but you cannot help but look. The world is well, to be expected considering satan is the ruler of it and all the people. I try to ignore everything and everyone, and just worry about myself. Hard sometimes I know, but again listening to God is always best.
