Science is now a religion.

Science is now a religion. Science has now has rules that must be obeyed and ideas that cannot be challenged. Of course I do not blame science or the scientific community. I blame the dolts who suddenly love and worship "science". Because of these people things like Darwinism and the big bang are [b]law[/b]. Not to be challenged in anyway whatsoever. But anyone who actually loves science would know that this just simply isn't the case. Anyone who actually enjoys science would know that all science is up for debate as long as you have evidence to back you up. Only science can "fight" science. Things like the big bang can be debated. But if you deny you'll get a bunch of "science lovers" ganging up on you. The big bang isn't law. It's just a widely accepted idea in the scientific community. There are other theories and there is evidence against it. There are scientist who don't believe in it. All science is up for debate. I made this post because there are a lot of people who don't understand what science is. They fail to understand that it's something that is always changing and isn't written in stone. So don't day things like [quote]it's not debatable[/quote] (an actual quote) Basically what I'm trying to say is just keep an open mind when it comes to science. Don't just shut your mind out to other not as known ideas. [spoiler]Note* I do believe in evolution and the big bang theory. I only used them as example because they're talked about a lot on this site. [/spoiler] Originally posted: July, 19 2015

    Theories do not become laws as a form of validation. You've effectively said nothing but a misunderstanding of the classification system the science community uses. Also, the counters to the Big Bang really only concern little inconsistencies in the theory, other than that it's truth-value exists within empiricism. So it's not really "just an idea." Sure, questioning everything we know is the support beam holding up the scientific mind, and keeps it sustained over time, however it's just silly to completely dismiss something with as much evidence as the Big Bang due to small inconsistencies. It's something you do with the preconception that the Big Bang should be dismissed due to personal ideology. My point is, surely question it, but understand what is being said in the theory is pretty rock solid until we get to the extremes, such as the beginning of the universe, but for something that's only been being discussed for 80 years, our knowledge on the manner and the support for the theory has only grown. I'm just clarifying what seems to me is a misunderstanding.
