Science is confirmed or falsified by more science - not public opinion. — Geoffrey Edwards

Geneticists have even found genes for everything from drunkenness, cheating, etc. But does that mean we as a society must be tolerant of those? —

10jacobf, on a comment section of Has Gay Gene Been Found in Female Mice?

Personally I think this is an interesting food for thought. There seems to be genes for homosexuality, as there are genes for drunkenness. But does the existence of gay genes is a vindication to accept homosexuality as it would be to accept drunkenness? Is the homosexuality dispute more to a cultural matters as it is for drunkenness? Etc.

If you could rewind the tape of life, erasing what actually happened and let it run again, you’d get a different set of ten each time. —

Stephen Jay Gould.

There’s an interesting layman discussion here: “if the tape of evolution were replayed a million times, would a species like ours necessarily evolve?”

Sains dan Agama

  • Sains: Inilah evidence-evidence-nya! Kesimpulan apa yang bisa kita tarik?”
  • Agama: “Inilah kesimpulannya! Evidence apa yang bisa kita temukan?”
  • .
  • ---------
  • Anekdot lama tentang metodologi yang berbeda.
  • .
  • Sains mencocokkan bukti dulu, lalu menarik kesimpulan. Agama menarik kesimpulan dulu, baru dicocok-cocokkan dengan bukti.

FACT: Scientists have proven that human minds are linked with each other through neuron activities. So if you’re thinking of someone all day long, that person is probably thinking of you too.

[For science] there’s no point in proving God doesn’t exist. Unlike religion, science in its law doesn’t claim what cannot be proven. — i think it is not science’s job to disprove or prove the existence of god, as science observe what is real, what it should observe, not in speculating some hypothetical creator.

fuckyeahlaughters: 9gag: 0.99999 = 1 MATH, Y U NO CONSISTENT? Seperti yang dikatakan Hawking, realita dari dunia sains itu tak bisa diketahui; rumus-rumus hanya membantu mendekatkan presisi (namun tak pernah mencapai 100% presisi). :P
