I also believe that science is getting more accurate, not less, over time. <br /><br />You have to know, though, that I object to the description of "religion" having said that the universe went around the earth or that women are responsible for the sex of the child. People said these things, some religious and some not. :)<br /><br />I agree with you, though, that purity of thought is a myth.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832931497605041428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281898744624594172.post-37932718677055277252011-02-16T02:17:23.992-05:002011-02-16T02:17:23.992-05:00purity in any form, under any circumstance or thou...purity in any form, under any circumstance or thought is a myth.<br />it cannot be because it is not something that is.<br />that being said, science is a living well "science", it evolves with us, it changes with us, as we understand the world and universe around us, we understand it as well.<br />what was scientific fact, will not always be so.<br />look at the people who took what religion said was fact. That the brain was just useless filler and the heart was where thought was, that the universe went around the Earth.<br />That it is women who are responsible for the sex of a child.<br />Jefferson believed that African Americans were not capable of being civilized due to "science" he was taught.<br />That lawyers are conceived though anal sex...<br />with time, we understand more and more and more.<br />The issues instead lies in catch phrases and mnemonics we are taught to remember "facts'.<br />And like religion, the laws of old will be left for those who do not wish to change their minds and view the universe in a new way.bairdduvessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06781443285628475955noreply@blogger.com
