The theme of the evening lacks a good title as yet (please send it to me if you think of one) but the premise is that science is not as straightforward as some people think it is, This stems from the number of conversations I have had over the years with people who insist they are atheists, and don’t do religion, because they believe in science, they trust data and facts. How I respond professionally as scientist, chaplain and priest is one thing, but inside my head is another thought stream altogether.
One embedded assumption seems to be that science flexes and changes with new data and new understandings whereas, clearly to them, religion does not. To me neither is a given.
Hopefully, it will be fun to explore how we change our minds or resist doing so either scientifically or theologically, or any other context that seems relevant.
Max Planck suggested that science advances one funeral a time, and “a new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
Humboldt didn’t help with his observation that, “There are three stages of scientific discovery: first people deny it is true; then they deny it is important; finally, they credit the wrong person.”
