hello... yes i'm new to this forum.... yes i'm probably naive..... but dipping my toe in the water so to speak i thought your quote was interesting.. so i'd like to ask ~~>

when you say science is based upon measured or observed facts... do you refer to the casual effects that are observed and measured?

It is my understanding that most of science is reaction based and therefore in a simplistic way it could be argued that it is exactly the same as religious belief.... you see, whilst 'God' might remain as elusive as some scientifically accepted phenomenon the effects of that God is as measurable, via believers, as any scientific outcome...

This is notwithstanding the question of human psychology which offers into the mix the matter of vain brain distortion and individual perception alterations.

I'm not religious but then again i'm not particularly scientific... i'm just a keen watcher
