You can be anyone and do anything. You just got to believe in yourself.

The further you pursue science, the more you realize that all of the things accepted as "truths" are just based on experiments and their inducted theorems. I believe humans are incapable of truly understanding the way the universe functions, and science, just like religion, is just a way of rationalizing it and "bringing it down to Earth", albeit in a more useful way than religion. But, plenty of scientific theories that were taken as manifest in their day have been proven false/iterated upon. Science is a tool, but mysticism still has a place.

No, because engineering is the application of theoretical models developed by science.

But I guess you can toy with some stuff with just trial and error.

Yeah but you can just say God gave you them

Sure, but you need science to formalize the concepts. If electricity and magnetism is given by God, you still need the scientific method to derive Maxwell's equations.

OP, can you use a computer, post on the web and not believe in science?
>>
>>9308945
What if God gave us Maxwell's equations

The phenomenon is not the same thing as the study of the phenomenon.

Who the fuck knows why magnetism exists?
However, the methodology to describe how magnetism works is science, by definition.
Then the application of that knowledge is engineering.
