Mathematics and the Theory of Babel
From acient times the theory holds that the world behaves in a mathematical
fashion, and only later was it understood that (x,y) could be represented in a pure or refined form. The theories of Galeleo, Newton, and Einstein are all true as we know them, but mathematics that gave raise to them are inconsistant... Is science a religion? www.aeons2c.org |

Is science a religion? www.aeons2c.org The preceding question reflects an ignorance of what constitutes science. Science is distinguished by its METHODS, rather than the mathematics chosen by those practicing science. The SCIENTIFIC METHOD is now taught at the junior high school level, and it appears that you somehow missed those lessons. Until the scientific method was developed (which is roughly to experimentally observe; then postulate a theory; then make a prediction using the theory, and then experimentally test the prediction, ... and iterate) attempts at understanding nature were often completely erroneous -- mathematics notwithstanding. Roger Bacon and Galileo are usually credited with its development, although others think that the scientific method may have first appeared in the ancient Islamic world. Religion and philosophy do not employ the scientific method; neither does mathematics. Confusing the domain of each discipline is an amateurish mistake. Not even a junior high school graduate should make such a mistake these days. A theory holds tha when observing an event the object remain undesturbed... I. Newton!!! www.aeons2c.org |

A religious devotion to any undertaking maybe all that is required to proclaim a religion. Its the acceptance of the masses that gives a religion basis. www.aeons2c.org |
