Question #1 -Science of the real
|
In a recent discussion with my girlfriend about prayer I asked her to "give me one single instance where she could demonstrate that a prayer was actually answered".
She, of course, had no real answer but responded that "not everything real is scientific".
How can I respond to that? Can something be "real" and not "scientific".

Quote of the Week

"...I think the popular view of Science is a solid body of truth, shared by a whole lot of learned men in a room, all agreeing on the answers to the questions of how the Universe works. Whereas nothing could be further from the truth !!! The one truth that I see emerging from the History of Science is that experiment has always surprised theorists. Einstein included!"
- Dr. Brian May
