Snake brain freeze in 3, 2, 1…
But when a fish jumps the river flows beneath it while it stays in relatively the same spot. Fish science cannot explain train inertia.
Science: builds train
Science: “What even is this???”
Well, the train isn´t liquid, so fish science can´t possibly comprehend.
Actually, it looks like science can be used to answer anything Modest asks.
“Modest, go to your room.”
“Why?”
“Because, science!”
“All right.”
I love how science is literally everything it accuses religion of
I don’t feel like science really cares about religion or spends time accusing it of anything. I do see religious peopel getting worked up about science all the time though. the only time I see the opposite is when religious people try to restrict science or oppose their beliefs on others.
But maybe you have an example you want to share? Maybe I’m not understanding what you’re saying?
There are some members of the scientific community who feel it is their duty to disprove religion. There are also atheist groups who are pushing the concept that there is a grand battle between science and religion. There are people with very little understanding of science whose faith in it amounts to everything that they criticize religion about.
Most people on both sides mind their own business. It is the overly vocal fringe groups that draw media attention and shape public perception of the two sides of the debate.
I would argue that, at least to some extent, it is science’s duty to disprove religion (or the supernatural concepts behind it). In that its science’s duty to examine the world and verify truth, and the supernatural concepts behind religions don’t stand up to any kind of scrutiny and aren’t verifiable (no mater how much we might wish they were. And I say this as a Catholic).
I’d also argue that there absolutely is a grand battle between science and religion, but it is mostly of religion’s making, and it religion has been making it for centuries and centuries.
And of course you are right that there are people with very little scientific understanding that cling to it with faith. But thats as it should be certainly? our society exists because each of can contribute a small or large thing that others can’t. I’m not a physicist, so I have to trust that the physicists are dong their jobs correctly. The reason I can trust that is that they have other scientists rigorously reviewing and duplicating their work, and that work is presented for all of us to review. Given enough time and study I an also review that work, which may lead me to verifying it challenging it, or adding to it. But I don’t have to. I can continue to create art instead, and have faith in science. Theres a huge difference between that and religion’s supernatural beliefs that offer no proof, no review, cannot be verified and often are not allowed to be challenged. I’m not anti religion or anti belief. I believe that both have their place in our world. But they are a very different thing from science, and faith in the workings of science, even if we as individuals can’t fully understand (due to time, intelligence or other limitations) is really, really different than faith in the supernatural aspects of religion. They’re not the same thing at all. Its like comparing cats with ghosts.
I do agree that most people on both sides mind their own business, and thats how it should be.
I’m not super keen on arguing religion/science here, but if its something you or anyone else is interested in talking about we can continue. If not, we can agree to disagree (or partially agree, or whatever).
In my eyes, Religion should accept what Science proves. And people should not pick on Religion for what Science can not yet prove (e.g. Afterlife, Deities) unless it is harming people (e.g. Suicide Cults, Killing in a God or God’s name)
We may never know all the truths of the universe. But then again, maybe we will. Until then, Science and Religion should coexist. But until the most insane religious and the most anti theist of scientists can shut up and sit down, we might not get that
Which sucks, both have the ultimate goal of explaining the universe. It just happens that Science is set up in a way that makes it better at that than Religion is, albeit way slower as a result (e.g. how long it took to figure out the Big Bang vs just saying, “One day, God or Gods winked and the world came to be”. Heck, we still don’t really know what came before the Big Bang, what triggered it, etc.)
Seriously though, antitheists (different from atheists as antitheists are against the very idea of a deity, afterlife, etc. and sometimes violently argue against it) need to chill out. Anybody arguing for or against the existence of a god/gods are both dumb since as of now, they would be outside the system, it’s like Sims arguing whether or not the player exists. Until the hand appears and drags them into a pool to drown them, they ain’t getting anywhere with that
She’s dropping it!
Ah, yes. I, too, vocalize my actions whilst eating a frozen confection. Lick!
Also, pretty sure she dropped it. Oops.
Yup, it looks like it’s at the tipping point. Modest is about to learn about 9.81 m/sec^2 the hard way
Science actually does explain this event. I could go into detail, but I am at work currently. But learned about this exact thing in the 9th grade with physical science (not physics). Basics are though that you are being moved as fast as the train. So, when you jump you are still technically moving forward at the same speed as the train. It’s also why when the train breaks you move forward.
Thats it.
I was just going to explain with one word:
Inertia.
Because Science is a good name for a band.
I just realized, in the last panel shouldn’t we see through her mouth?
Yeah. But cartoonists often add the inner cheek (even though it wouldn’t be visible in that way) because not having it there can look jarring and wrong.
NO NO NO NO NOT THE ICE CREAM MODEST
