North of London | Not sure if you understand that something that science determines to be a good explanation is based on facts and studies that others have been able to replicate.
There is no need to just believe in them since they are proven.
Now anyone who doubts the proof can explore that topic themselves and produce evidence, facts and proof for a differing way of understanding it.
When a scientist, a real true scientist, experiments with something or studies something in detail they will have a hypothesis about what they will find but in many cases they discover something different. If they are a true scientist they will say something like 'WOW, I did not expect that' and then go ahead and replicate it to prove it is the correct finding.
Next step is to have others test out the new finding and see if they can replicate it too.
Then after others have also shown it to be true it is accepted by science as a good explanation for something.
No need for faith or just believing.
It might be easy to just believe but what I keep pointing out is belief does not show anything to be true and if you just believe something that has shown to be wrong then you would be like the Catholic church that took several hundred years to admit the the earth circles the sun and is not the centre of the universe.
that is not good for expanding our knowledge base and it certainly does not help your children in life if you encourage them to reject what is shown to be true and just believe in magical happenings.
So if you want to ignore what has been proven then at least do not hold your children back and allow them to progress with the rest of humanity.
Look around the world at where societies are held back because of beliefs that are just not true but because of society (usually with religionists behind it) rejects known truths for old fairy tales.
Easy is not always correct and with no proof is likely wrong if it counters what science has shown to be true. | |
