Can Scientists and Religious Leaders See Eye to Eye? | Middle Ground

[@jubilee]

Middle Ground is back!! Thanks everyone for watching this highly requested episode. As always, we are not saying science and religion necessarily have to exclude each other - there are religious scientists out there! Instead, we are exploring two sides that society often pits against each other in hopes of finding middle ground #radicalempathy. Let us know in the comments below what future episodes you'd like to see!

[@omenakookos]

It's poetic and beautiful, but it's not an accurate metaphor to describe "us", the consciousness. It would be more like waves without an ocean. Waves that simply disappear rather than retreat back to the ocean. It however does describe life from biological perspective, just another way to say from ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Which is not really beautiful anymore, but rather depressing.

[@averylfong4843]

In general, Buddhism is more a way of life than a religion. The main branches are Theravada, Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism. Contrary to popular belief, they don’t believe in a deity or god. Buddha was not a god, he was a man who achieved enlightenment by discovering the Middle Way/Middle Path. Basically living both a life of excess/wealth/luxury and a life of extreme poverty and realising that balance was better than excess. Buddhists believe in reincarnation, how you act in life depends on who/what you’ll reincarnate as, and that one can break from the chain of reincarnation (Enlightenment) through meditation, living a good life, etc. AKA = they chill af

@@lTheBlackGuyl Not actually. Science is based on continual re-evaluation of the claims as supported by the evidence. When a claim can't be shown to comport to the evidence, then the claim is dismissed. When multiple lines of empirical evidence converge, in inferential-space, upon a singular conclusion and no lines of evidence refute the conclusion -- then that suffices as proof. It's a justified true belief - or knowledge. In science, researchers continually try to disprove and refute and challenge what we currently think. Nope - not opinions at all.

[@entitree.]

whilst I agree that everyone in this video were all very mature, i don't think that coming to the table for that particular prompt is a signifier of that maturity. Take the flat earthers in the 'flat earthers vs scientists' video. I can picture every single one of them stepping forward to that prompt because they are all self proclaimed 'free thinkers' and their whole identities revolve around questioning what they've been taught. But none of them would listen to reason, they would all interrupt the scientists as they tried to explain themselves, and overall they were very immature. But I am 99% sure they they would all claim that they 'question their own beliefs'

[@caymanwarrior6359]

I see what you're saying, but a true Christian would still preach the true gospel message, because that is what we are commanded to do. Christ talked with everybody but still preached repentance and turning from sin. It's not about judging so much because Christians believe that God has already judged us for our sin through the 10 Commandments. Our job is to tell the world about the coming judgment, and the way to be saved from that - repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Most people don't want to hear that they're sinners who need a Savior.

O people, know by us we are actually one descendant, namely the descendants of the prophet adam as and siti hawa, the differences that exist today are because our mindset is not the same, there are those whose minds are intelligent, smart, mature and some are late thinking. and there are those who do not use their brains at all to think and do not want to think, thus giving rise to various ethnic groups, nationalities, languages, cultures, traditions, ethnicities, slogans, dances, and diverse religions. all that Allah created so that we can get to know each other, be able to respect each other, be able to realize each other, that life in the world is certainly lacking and there are advantages of each. and so that we want to learn and learn the weaknesses and strengths of ourselves, our tribe in our language, all of them have been outlined in this life. this life has been arranged so that everything is balanced. because what we believe is if in the world the minds of all humans are the same, you can imagine yourself, ribeuutt explain ... hahaha so that's why the human mind is not the same. There are intelligent and intelligent people, some are only using their reasoning just to deceive other human beings into fulfilling their own interests. then what are our similarities as humans? humans actually have the same conscience, feeling and feeling. and the purpose of our lives is the same. every human being in this world has the same purpose in life, which is to live happily and want to live safely. happiness and safety in life are our main goals as humans. who are humans who don't want to live happily and live in a safe place? because in a safe place that we can comfortably live this life. in a safe and comfortable place that will create prosperity and prosperity to make this life peaceful. our enemies are the same, that is, what is in us, selfishness and lust. fighting the enemy that looks is easy. the difficult thing is to fight ourselves. admit that our selves are weak and there are many shortcomings in us. we always boast about things that really aren't ours. are we proud of the assets we have, the position we are using, just for what? for the sake of ourselves. we forget outside ourselves there are still many who lack.

Pantheism or deism.

[@KaelanTdT]

Judaic beliefs get really varied! Most Jewish believers have a very vague idea of an afterlife, the concept is alluded to in our texts but not very concretely. Many reconstructionist (a more modern version) jews don't believe in an explicit afterlife. Also, she doesn't believe the earth was created, but so do many Jews, and even Christians. Many interpretations of Genesis would argue that the whole "creation" section of that book was not literal at all, but a metaphor of sorts.
