Questions & Answers
Question : sCience!!!!!!?
give me prof that scientific laws can change!
Answer:
Newtonian physics gave a very good model of motion mechanics, dynamics, until the speed of light was approached. Newton's laws are now considered approximations and have been added to by Einstein's model that accounts for near light speed, relativistic dynamics.The early models accounted for limits known at the time they were developed. Later modifications added to the earlier equations rather than replaced them. Newton proposed three laws. The second law, force = mass x acceleration, was not limited. However velocity does not increase infinitely.Newton - Force = rate of change of momentumEinstein - Force = (rate of change of mass) cWhere c = speed of light.

Question : How did Science play a role during the Renaissance and why was science another means to disobey the church?
How did Science play a role during the Renaissance and why was science another means to disobey the church? Why was it taking a risk to be a scientist during the Renaissance?-Protestant Reformation-i need help so that i can study for my final which is coming up in less than a week!!-Scientific Revolution-***
Answer:
For the Renaissance, the truth of nature can only be obtained through experience and observation guided by the use of reason ... this went against the tenets of the Catholic church, who were no longer accepted by the Renaissance, which not ceased to be Christians, but do not accept anything that could not be proven through experience and observation (with the exception of faith in God, of course) ...-It was the Renaissance that Europe has abandoned the complicated Roman and began using the simple and practical figures brought out by the Arabs (so named after Arabic) ... that greatly facilitated the calculations ... men and women Renaissance realized that mathematics helped enough to understand and master the world ...the Renaissance, the science has known great progress:- The Italian Cardano created in 1543 to negative numbers, ie less than zero ...- 1, -2, -3, etc ...- The dutch Stevin showed that the fractions podeiam be written with decimal numbers, facilitating the calculation ... that is, 0.25 is equal to 1 / 4 ...- Physics was the great great works of Copernicus and Galileo on the Geocentric model, which caused a serious confrontation with the Catholic Church, which almost leads Galileo to the fire of the Inquisition ...- The mechanical clock was invented in the fourteenth century ... the thermometer in 1592 and the microscope in 1590 ...- In shipping, the Portuguese were pioneers ... they perfected the astrolabe and the compass and created a small and agile caravel ...- The German Gutenberg invents the typographer in 1454, making the books much cheaper and facilitating the dissemination of knowledge ...on the Protestant Reformation, go to the link below ...

Question : How does science and religion mix? Why do people think that they are somehow compatible?
Religion and science don't mix. Okay? Science inspires free thought and religion forces you to adhere to an imaginary pixie fairy that cannot be proven by scientific means. Science allows you to question everything, religion says that if you question god you burn. Religion says that people were made from dirt, when evidence proves we evolved and have common ancestry to fish, Apes, Orangutans, etc. When scientists tried to prove religion was a bunch of crap, religion mocked them. Come on, this is getting old, the bible is not correct.
Answer:
A very big question, hard to cover in this forum. First you don't seem to have an objective or complete view of Science or Religion, so I can see why with your bias you can't see the compatibility.In general terms both Science and Religion are searching for objective truths, usually with different methods but these are the goals. If you hold a logical view that real truth will not contradict other real truth, then as we search down these different paths then these truths, if they are really true, will agree not conflict with each other.If you really kept to pure hard Science & only empirical evidence then you wouldn't see anything that conflicts with some religions, others there would be conflicts (like the earth isn't riding on the back of a big turtle or held by a really large guy, per our experience in space).There is more conflict with the faith elements of Science with the faith elements of Religion. If you don't think there are faith elements of Science then, like I said, you don't have an objective view of Science.Overall there seems to be a fundamental lack of understanding, and perhaps an intentional blurring, between hard natural science (based on the scientific method) that are the observable & objective facts and the man-made categorizations & organization of these facts into whatever form or theory suits us. These man-made structures may help us organize and understand the facts better, or may mislead us as well, but they are Not facts in and of themselves. Accepting these non-observable, non-testable theories as facts themselves is a leap of faith.So you should understand that not all faith is irrational or goes against reason. Ignorant stereotyping & under-investigated atheistic dogma leads people to think this way. [1] Plus it's poor logic to use argument by insult [2] "imaginary pixie fairy" especially when much of what you believe is also cannot be proven by hard scientific means and relies on billions of unobserved miracles that go against observed natural processes. These by faith, are accepted as occurring even though they can never be reproduced or observed by the scientific method. The common, but limited definition of faith does not understand the concept of a reasonable faith. One based on evidence and experience that leads us to trust a God who has a proven track record. You are under the Kierkegaard’s definition of faith is opposed to reason [3], which is not the case in the real world, except for blind or under-investigated leaps of faith.As beings of limited perceptions and limited knowledge we rely on many things by reasonable faith just to get through the day. So when we say we know something, we usually have reasons. These are based on our personal experiences or the interpretation of available evidence. And as we are taught by others what they know, our trust in them as a valid source of truth also builds into this web of reasonable faith. We should continue to challenge things we take on faith and see how firm they are and if they are based on blind trust or objective truth.This is the kind of reasonable faith we can have in God & Jesus as Lord.[4] The kind that has proven itself and continues to do so again & again in history and archeology etc.So as a student of Science & Christianity, I have not found any incompatibility with any of the hard facts of either. There is no fact in science, history, archeology, etc that is denied in the Bible.[5] [6] In fact much of the Bible is considered real history by National Geographic and The Smithsonian. And is often used to help archaeologists [7] make discoveries. So much so that the Smithsonian Institution’s Department of Anthropology has an official statement on “THE BIBLE AS HISTORY.” In it they say:"... much of the Bible, in particular the historical books of the old testament, are as accurate historical documents as any that we have from antiquity and are in fact more accurate than many of the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, or Greek histories. These Biblical records can be and are used as are other ancient documents in archaeological work. For the most part, historical events described took place and the peoples cited really existed."I know it is easier to just insult & dismiss what doesn't agree with your worldview bias. But if you really think you are rational and open-minded, please really look into the evidence and don't assume it isn't there because you have never really looked into it yourself. Hope this helps you at least understand another view, even if you don't agree with it.“faith is not a substitute for knowledge, but the response to it.” Udo Middelmann

Question : Does Science really provide a sufficient and adequate information in explaining such phenomena?
Science provoked different laws, theories and observations about each and every phenomena and still continue to explain such phenomena that is beyond our knowledge.... Does Science really provide a sufficient and adequate information in explaining such phenomena?. If yes, justify your answer, If not, can you please discuss an example of a phenomena that science can't really explain.
Answer:
I get the impression that you don't know what you're asking. If science explains a phenomenon (phenomena is singlular; phenomena is plural), it is by definition not beyond our knowledge.There are many phenomena that science has not satistfactorily explained. The expansion of the universe at an increasing rate is attributed to dark energy, but no one knows what dark energy is. Most of the matter in the universe is dark matter, but no one knows what dark matter is. It is still uncertain what gives subatomic particles their masses; the Higgs boson has been proposed as an explanation but has not yet been discovered. Relatively little is known about how the brain produces consciousness. There are still debates about the evolutionary basis of altruistic behavior. There are still debates about the existence of group selection. The origin of life is still largely unexplained, although progress has been made.

Question : Religion and science are in direct opposition to one another. How do some people not understand that?
Religion pre-decides what nature is without much evidence or understanding of what nature is. Whereas science lets the experiments and the equations decide what nature is. She's gonna come out as she is, and science is there to observe her as she is. But not religion. It pre-decides what she is. And it's been demonstrated before that religion has been wrong; and it'll be wrong again. And science is a continuous process. Science is always trying to understand her as she is. But not religion. Religion is stuck on seeing things in only religion's way. And religion never likes to be corrected. Science and religion are incompatable.
Answer:
i disagree with almost everything you wrotefor one thing "religion" is too broad of a topic to compare it to anything

Question : How does science affect the understanding of humans and society?
I'm writing an essay on how literature and science affect the understanding of humanity and society. I've got the literature part down pretty well, but I am absolutely stuck on the science part. I have to choose either between natural sciences or human sciences and relate it to reason, but I don't have any specific examples. Can you give me a few?
Answer:
How science affects the understanding of humans and humanity is it can provide evidence to question the assumptions about war. The type of war fought by steel tanks and with steel guns could be countered by use of materials found in magnets if what understand from an elementary science class is correct. the united nations charter of rights and constitutions of world as electronic protections against electronic equipped missiles also serve.now I understand you might think answer poor like one asker of another simlar question thought.

Question : How can we raise science literacy in the United States?
It's purely antecdotal but it feels like the amount of science literacy has gotten worse in recent years. What can we do to reverse that trend? Should we throw money at it? Give incentives to schools that do well in science? Make the standardized tests harder? More scholarships for science majors? Start a new PR campaign that makes science cool? Have the government appoint someone as a Science Ambassador? What do you think would work best?
Answer:
Science, below the college level at least, is usually taught as a series of facts instead of a process, and kids don't get much, if any, exposure to how to DO science. That needs to change, but it won't as long as the schools have to prepare for standardized tests that test your memorization of facts, not your actual understanding.
