The world is the way it is whether you "believe" in it or not. The world is the way it is whether you understand it or not, and life is a lot easier when you understand the world around you. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago True. Because they are willing to dig in their heels and reject evidence that doesn't fit their worldview, they assume that science-minded people are the same. They don't understand how "receive new data" and "refine or revise hypothesis" are important parts of the process. If they incorporated those steps, their belief system would implode. permalink fedilink source parent [–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 1 point 1 week ago You can not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that God exists.
