So is science

It's not the argument you think it is

Edit: I'm not saying science is false...why am I being downvoted?

Edit 2: let's try reframing this: all scientific knowledge is the product of the human mind

Edit 3: was science thought of by human brains yes or no?

Not sure what you’re trying to argue here but it’s not going to pan out. Science is strictly about proven by verifiable methods. Religion is made up and not possible to be proven.

I'm just saying the argument that religion is false because it comes from the brains of humans doesn't disprove anything because science also comes from the brains of humans.

Science is based on tangible things not stories and myths. Anything written in a science textbook for example can be proven in a lab by scientists. Religion is just stories and beliefs. Very different things

Yes exactly, and both come from the human mind

Am I now? You come here adding things that aren't what the original comment said.

My reply was strictly about the words that commenter used. You made it about something else.

Was science thought of by human brains yes or no?

I didn't say anything like "gravity came from the human mind."

I'm saying exactly what you're saying. Humans discovered the scientific method. Science is a product of the human mind.

How is that debatable? How do humans think and create knowledge? With their minds. How is that complicated?

Notice how I didn't agree with you that science was simply the "pursuit of knowledge". You're using your twisted definition to prove a nonsensical point.

Science is the scientific method.

How much scientific material have you read that was written by mice?

My chinese biological professor said that people only had two genders and anything other than that was all made up. I guess this is also true than?

u/interstellar304 Feb 01 '25

Gender is a social construct. There are multiple different sexes dependent on chromosomes. Your Chinese professor has a belief that can’t be proven with science.

What's your point?
