Someone again mistakenly conflates religious faith with probabilistic confidence in future outcomes.
At Its Heart, Science Is Faith-Based Too
Writing in the Houses of Worship column about the recent LIGO observatory discovery that Einstein predicted, Matt Emerson says science is faith-based too. After all, scientists held firm to their belief that they’d find gravitational waves from deep space.
Well, I have 'faith' that the laws of physics have worked the same since the start of the universe and for the foreseeable future. Of course it's not blind religious faith.
But yeah, the article is pathetic. They should stick to business reporting.
yeah, they're always doing that
I guess gravitational waves did not exist before they were discovered this year….praise science jebus for giving us the laser…
You say there is a difference, but perhaps there really isn't.
