    Understanding Benzene: Hybrid Structures vs. Superposition Explained

    Question: Is a hybrid structure and a superposition the same thing? (I'm interested in the case of benzene) Read many sources but they were contradictory.. Please help! Thanks!

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    Yes, to be more precise, I mean the ILLUSION that we project to ourselves that knowing more about the world makes us more free of its effects. It's very hard to get rid of this self-desception:) Anyway if everyone is happy with my definition then I would close this thread if that's all right.

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    Sorry I was so confusing. You forget to think about how you write if you know it yourself. I was talking about how, especially in the last century, many religions have gained a start from scientific discoveries. I know at least two that came to existence, based on Einsteins famous formula E=mc2...

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    I'd say that choosing a religion is also a choice of ethics actually.

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    Ofcourse,ofcourse, no need to get angry. I'm just pointing out that when making a statement you should try to stay as detailed and understandable as possible. What I am trying to establish is that how do you know that the scientific method is correct? (look at my previous posts, also the...

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    I would somewhat agree with you, although I do not believe that we should consider this a state of confusion. Humans strive for understanding because they want to feel free and independent from the world tha influences them and I totally support this quest, even if it can not be totally...

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    What I meant by this, is that actually a lot of religion is closely intertwined with science, especially nowadays. So some of the statements they make are true because they are based on scientific findings but every religion would have at least one statement that can not be verified by...

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    Not all religions say you go to hell. many don't even have the so-called darker side and are purely based on hightening your position in the universe (or whatever, don't really know that specifically).

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    Ok, I'm going to try to sum up everything that's said here and see if we have a final answer: Although science and religion are both based on the same faith that what they are doing is right, science adapts a position of an observer, allowing oneself the possibility of fault and evolves...

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    I would try to take the subject forward now. A quote for you to ponder on: The universe is infinite and thus you can not know everything, so you are bound to take some things on faith (fill in the gaps with faith) Any comments on this? Also starting from that perspective, I'd say a...

    Is Consciousness Just a Temporary Phenomenon in the Universe?

    Very interesting. If you're into stuff like this I would recommend you read about Boltzmann's Brains. Gonna rock your world::):

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    I will probably get slapped for this but I'll go forth anyway: Now if we leave all these fuzzy arguments, definements of how they approach things differently and are based on different emotions. I would start from the very basics and then move on if we can: BOTH, in my opinion, require the...

    Is Science a Religion? Exploring the Foundation of Knowledge

    Again,as I said in my previous post, I think we should acknowledge the difference between religions as well. There are a lot of religions that are based on the same fundamental principle as science is: To find out how the world works. These religions are more based on self-finding and hightened...
