- mbfg 5y agoBelieving things without evidence is "hostile" to science.
- trasz 5y agoReally? Is children's belief in Santa Claus hostile to science? What I've meant above is hostility in the literal sense. As in, trying to oppose science with some religious fantasies, like with Intelligent Design, or pretty much anything Catholicism says about human sexuality.
- mbfg 5y ago"Science" is a process. That of collecting observations, building theories and testing those theories, rinse repeat. So yes a belief in Santa is 'hostile' to science, because it is completely at odds with that process.
