Why SCIENCE is the New Irrational RELIGION

(Video description)
Science is about sense data, empiricism and induction. Science is an empirical system which is opposed to rationalism. This cannot be stressed enough, science is not about reason, science privileges empiricism. The definition of empiricism is “the doctrine that all knowledge is derived from sense experience.” Whereas rationalism is the doctrine that all knowledge is based on reason and not on religious faith or sense experience.

These two views are opposites and never forget that science is an empirical system, not a rational system. Furthermore science is inductive whereas our system is deductive. Deduction is a method of reasoning that guarantees 100% that the conclusion is true no matter what.

While induction is a method based on repeated tests that only ever give a probability of something being true, no matter how good the inductive test are it always has the probability of being wrong. Deduction is about guaranteed truth while induction only gives a probability of being true.
