Science is way overrated man; probably the most over rated religion out there.

Why is science a religion?

Overrated:
Video games (in general)
Eating (I actually have at some times in my life wished I could survive without food because I didn't want to take the time to eat)
Watching Sports
Any science that isn't physics (and possibly computer science (and technically math, but i don't think of it as a science))
Complexity (when its unnecessary)

Underrated
Physics
Being a nerd
Many other things can't think of at the moment

(I don't want to offend anyone who likes other sciences besides physics, I do think the others have their place in the scientific community as well as elsewhere)

That's why.

I was being facetious.

I actually think Mathematics, logic, and philosophy are heavily under rated compared to the overrated natural sciences.

I think using science for what is was never meant to do is overrated as well as using Christianity and the Bible for what is was never meant to do is also overrated (if you really want to get into a discussion about that it would probably be best to start a new topic)

I think math and logic are key to any natural science and I enjoy some philosophy from time to time (actually usually, but I don't get very much opportunity to discuss it with people who are actually interested in it and I don't want to take any classes on it) and they are often underrated

Natural science is built off presuppositions, take away those presuppositions and the whole thing crumbles.

ChristianSoldier · « **Reply #84 on:** February 25, 2009, 09:56:01 PM »

It's not meant to deal with things outside of our universe. It has to do with the foundations of modern science
1) Logical thinking
2) Experimental Data
3) Occam's Razor

This means that for something to be science it should follow these principles, unfortunately science is inadequate to deal with supernatural occurrences and thus should not be expected to deal with God or a creation miracle so we shouldn't try to use it to prove creation or God, it is based on using the normal situations, not the exceptions in it.

Everything we believe is built off presuppositions.

Which reminds me......100% proof / certainty is overrated

under rated
Princess Bride... and there is no possible way it can change, because nothing can make it over rated.

Sports (not watching them, playing them) > video games. Physical activity is a good thing. I strongly suggest that you play a high school sport, I made a lot of my best friends through volleyball and frisbee (they also helped me cut back on video games and get in better shape). I know that you can make friends playing video games too, but RL friends > virtual friends.

LOL

Im gonna agree with the twilight fad, Definately overrated, along with Harry Potter and all those before them

North Carolina basketball is also overrated, but not as much as UK
Notre Dame Football is overrated...and that is sad because I am a fan

I will agree that Obama is Overrated because too many people have a messiah complex about the guy. Dont get me wrong, I like him, I even voted for him, but he is overrated...but lets see what happens after the honeymoon.

macs. I am sorrt but the macintosh did not change my life!
American Idol and Survivor. Isn't it funny how un-real reality TV has become?
The Problems in Iran and/or N.Korea. If either of these states allowed nukes to leave their borders then it would be over for them. Period. they would become radioactive parking lots and piles of rubble.

ipods. Mp3 players are a dime a dozen, I even have mp3s on my phone so why would I want to dump a bundle
horror movies. I just haven't seen a real good horror movie since the original "scream" sorry
Fashion (and supermodels for that matter)
The westmister Dog Show
Caviar
Modern art
Pop music
NCLB kids still get left behind all the time and the admin cooks the books (thats what you get when you use one method of assessment to determine competency)
Blu-ray DVD's and High Definition television in general
any brand label. Some are obviously quality products, but most are simply the flavor of the month and that annoys me./

Underrated

Redemption!

The new BSG on Sci Fi. It is a fantastic and powerful re-adaptation of an old hokie Sci-fi adventure
The 0/2 Red buckler. Defense FTW! no, wait I mean Stalemate?
Redemption D3. Metalpsalms site is fun. plus I just like autographing random cards and sending them in ...
Racism in america. Everyone thinks its all good now that we have a minority president...well, sadly they would be wrong
American Cars pre 1980 While I will agree that modern american cars are pathetic, anything before the muscle car era cannot be overrated
Steven Colbert
Social Studies Education (thanks NCLB!)
Black History and the contributions of minorities and women to our great nation
non-traditional sports in the US like Cricket, Lacrosse, jai-alai, and curling! (curling Rocks...really!)

I agree sports are a good thing it's just way too many people take them way to seriously

Meditation is under rated; I've been giving different methods of it a try lately.
I think the Bible is both overrated and under rated; it's too much of a "tool of argument" and less of a "means to wisdom/understanding". The Bible is taken too much at face value; I think we should spend more time investigating the more mythical and philosophical parts rather than just finding out the answer to something like "is drinking a sin?"

After reading recently that the average American watches 150 hours of television a month (about 5 hours a day), I was happy to not contribute to that statistic.

Of course, that's ignoring the hours per day I spend on the Internet.
