Response to Siearra's Post
I want to write this post to wholeheartedly agree with Siearra's post "The Importance of Science". She discusses how she agrees with Darwin's perspective because he recognized that as humans all our actions are determined by scientific origins. Thus, our "human nature" is then a perpetual cycle or continuation of the biologic constructs. Religious sanctions that attempt to explain our origins or actions absolutely cannot compete with scientific fact. There exist so many religious disciplines, all with their own interpretations of life and death. To ascribe to one makes a distinction and disregards other opinions, whereas in science the facts presented can be tested and proven or disproved. While Siearra states that religious explanations of human nature "fail to take into consideration these crucial scientific factors and therefore are missing key points in their analyses", I believe that not only do they fail to do take into consideration the scientific points, they omit them intentionally. Science would disprove every religious doctrine, so therefore they disregard them to "save face" and not be confronted by contrasting ideals. I further believe that their "analysis" of human nature is nothing more than a formulated set of rules used to persuade and control masses of people, and does NOT work to explain or better interpret the universe.
