    There's this one dude who was buried alive in a blizzard, he escaped by using his frozen shit as digging tools.

    humans can communicate across the world from anywhere using electronic devices which most don't understand how it works but the majority still belives that perfoming ciclic rituals in specific places and specific times is enough to catch the attention of an all mighty being that didn't bother teaching or explaning electromagnetism

    We are simply specks of energy bouncing each other in the actual space of time but in the visual projection of our limited senses; chemicals and mental erosion is what equates to procreate out of intense bouncing or the happening to divide with the law of entropy.

    Ah, supernaturals and electromagnetism in one sentence always reminds me of my experience regarding them,
    Since then I know, rather than believe, that there're things science can't explain, and it's much closer than I previously thought

    I wouldn't have taught them either. People are vicious. We only stopped wholesale slaughtering others recently.

    science as a method can explain anything, if it doesn't, it means that either facts are missings or facts were fabricated

    sorry, but we never stopped, we merely sub-contract them to 3rd world countries

    Nope, sorry, even Math that is hailed as the purest form of pursuit of knowledge has been known to have unprovable truths, there's no reason at all to believe science doesn't have such things

    scientific method is propose an hypothesis, deduct the ramification of the hypothesis, test the hypothesis and repeat to see if such test is replicable and conclude based on the result

    Exemple,
    do wuji boards work?
    if i build one out of wood, set it up in empty room with only quadriplegic touching it will it move?
    repeat this test 1000 times
    conclusion (it move thus it work, it didn't move therefore it's crap)

    I know, what I'm saying is that even using such methods, or even any methods, there are still things that are true but are impossible to be proven such

    Haah, stubborn aren't you, now aren't you just making a god out of science? You think science should be able to do anything and everything?
    It has been proven in mathematics that given a system there are truths that are impossible to prove from within the system, now tell why science should be different

    i think that science should be able to prove or disprove anything, not that it can do anyhting, all physics law do not tell how to do anythn, but tell what can or cannot be done
    unless you are talking about p versus np problem , which is still unsolved but hasn't been demosntraded imposible to do so, i don't see what you could be talking about, so clarify
