Weight vs Faith

[AV1611VET]

Weight occurs when gravity is resisted.

By the same token, faith occurs when science is resisted.

Let's see where this goes.

Let's see where this goes.

Or, more appropriately stated, "faith" occurs when one is willing to suspend a belief in reality.

Does weight more appropriately occur when one is willing to suspend a belief in gravity?

 

[Look Up]

One who claims to need no faith in anything must claim to know everything.

Does weight more appropriately occur when one is willing to suspend a belief in gravity?

No. I don't think you can quite compare weight and faith so completely. I'm not really sure of your statement about faith above either. I don't think you need to resist science to have faith.

 

[Loudmouth]

By the same token, faith occurs when science is resisted.

You are on the record as stating that science is faith, so I am curious how faith occurs when faith is resisted.

 

[AV1611VET]

One who claims to need no faith in anything must claim to know everything.

 

[AV1611VET]

I don't think you need to resist science to have faith.

I don't either -- but you're talking about having faith, and I'm talking about occurring faith.

If I just met you, how can I ascertain if you are utilizing science or faith in something you believe?

It's when I see you resist science, that I can know you are using faith.

 

[AV1611VET]

You are on the record as stating that science is faith...

Link please?

You must have a weeeeeeird definition of faith to say something like that.

Ignorance is curable, willful ignorance isn't.

 

[Cromulent]

Weight is a force applied to a massive object by a gravitational field.

 

[Loudmouth]

Link please?

So you are saying that science is not faith? For the record?

 

[Loudmouth]

One who claims to need no faith in anything must claim to know everything.

You forgot that "I don't know" is an option.

One who claims to need no faith in anything must claim to know everything.

Really? No door "C"?

 

[Freodin]

Weight occurs when gravity is resisted.

This is wrong.

By the same token, faith occurs when science is resisted.

Let's see where this goes.

So by the same token, this is also wrong.

 

[Naraoia]

I don't either -- but you're talking about having faith, and I'm talking about occurring faith.

"Occur" is not a transitive verb. So what does it mean in this sentence?

 

[Look Up]

Really? No door "C"?

Such as?

 

[Cute Tink]

I don't either -- but you're talking about having faith, and I'm talking about occurring faith.

If I just met you, how can I ascertain if you are utilizing science or faith in something you believe?

It's when I see you resist science, that I can know you are using faith.

How do you know they are resisting science and not flat out ignorant of it?

 

[AV1611VET]

How do you know they are resisting science and not flat out ignorant of it?

I don't, but when I do, then I'll know.
