Thread Name: BS: New things about atheism
Subject: RE: BS: New things about atheism
We won't figure it all out someday, Mrrzy, and we don't have all the answers now. We have some of the answers. There will always be further questions. There will always be stuff you cannot possibly duplicate in a lab...because it is not physical, measurable, or empirical...but it's still something that people really do experience. As such, there are many things science cannot and does not deal with. Those things fall in the realm of spirituality, philosophy, pschologhy art, ethics, and all such nebulous and extremely interesting subjects...without which we would not be fully human.

And they are the subjects I love. Always did. Science is great, but it doesn't talk to me about many of the things I most care about, and I don't expect it to. That's not the job of science.

I cannot live by science alone. If you can, fine with me.
