All scientific laws are false. |
Another example of what religion can do to the brain:
This is an excerpt from an article written by John W Robbins.
Note: The excerpt below is from a larger article found at the included
link. The idiocy of this excerpt permeates the entire article. The
article is both funny and pathetic.
"Still less does Dr. Sagan seem to realize that science is a
self-correcting and ever-changing discipline precisely be cause it is
never correct. If a scientist ever discovered a truth, it would not
and could not change. Two plus two is four is now, has always been,
and always will be true be cause it was not discovered by the
scientific method. Christian theology has always taught and will
always teach the doctrine of the Trinity because the Trinity was not
discovered by the scientific method, but revealed by God, who is truth
himself. All scientific laws are false. All the laws of physics and
astronomy are false. Why just a month ago the astronomers admitted
that—oops!—they had made a mistake in calculating the distances
between stars, a mistake of only 25 percent. Who knows, perhaps next
month they will acknowledge another mistake. Or perhaps it will be the
chemists, or the physicists, or the biologists who make the
announcement next month. All the physics and biology textbooks written
in 1910 are now regarded as completely wrong. Fifty years from now
scientists will consider our present texts completely wrong.
Scientists never discover the truth because the scientific method,
which Dr. Sagan esteems so highly, is a tissue of logical fallacies.
Science does not and cannot give us truth.

No, it was arbitrarily defined and can be changed anytime we feel like it...

It *has* been redefined, by Niels Abel 175 years ago. Any math student has
studied abelian groups.

Unfortunately, God was in a hurry to leave, to launch a Messiah for a
civilization of intelligent slime-molds in the Andromeda galaxy. He left
a hastily worded message with a group of illiterate goat-herders, who did
not have the language skills to accurately record the meaning of the
message and preserve it for later generations. He has gotten an
occasional message about how badly His original meaning has been
distorted, and how people are committing wholesale murder over differences
in opinion over what He meant. He is thinking to Himself that He needs to
check back on us in a few millennia to straighten things out, as soon as
He has finished His current project of orchestrating the apocalypse for a
race of intelligent insectoids living on a planet in the M-31 star cluster.
