What
is “The Truth?” There have been three proposed routes to such in human
history: philosophy; theology; science. Out of these, only one stands
out: science. Science has proven itself to be the best tool humanity
has developed in our search for “The Truth.”
I have committed
myself to the promotion of science. If you find anything that you disagree
with on this blog, please ENGAGE me. What do I mean by that? You challenge ANYTHING
on this page, you had best present EVIDENCE in support of your
position,.and STAY WITH ME through my questions, my answers to your
responses, etc. If you can't handle the heat, bye-bye.
Should you choose to challenge me, please ponder the following, as it will be the core of our discussion:
Do you accept science? If so, do you accept everything it says on all matters? If not, why not?
Is there anything that is better than evidence to determine the truth?
How do you define faith? Is faith belief without evidence? If not, what is it?
If you use faith to support your belief, why should I accept your
belief over others in the same category (i.e. religion, medicine, or
reality in general)?
If you are engaging me from a theist
perspective, outside of religion, do you use faith in support of
anything else? If not, why not? If you do, why do you?
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
