>For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.” - Robert Jastrow

What even is the point of theology, obviously religion isn't real so no matter how much you build it up none of it matters.

Something that most scientists will happily admit will never be complete or perfect, unlike theologians

Consciousness is an unknown as of now, that doesn't allow you to make shit up and declare it true

Just stop there.

I hope the irony is not lost on you that this a faith-based statement.

Well, you're somewhat right, this is something called an assumption. I indeed assume that knowledge is fallible and always will be. On the one hand, I can't guarantee that this forever remain true. On the other hand, the Titanic being deemed unsinkable, the Chernobyl plant and the Fukushima plant both being declared completely safe, and World War 1 being declared over in a few months in 1914 tell me that this is a very safe assumption
