Why is Science and Math so infallible?

Because there's a finite amount of information, and since we as a species have an eternity to work with, we can eventually piece together absolutely everything, just like a jigsaw puzzle.

Infallible? Not even close.

Science and math are a FUCK of a lot closer to infallibility than the alternative, which is the opinion of a largely drug-and sex-addled elder who believes in an imaginary friend.

However, your message is apt.  We should not load up science and math with too much responsibility, lest we have a collapse.

Philosophy > science and math.

A University Physics department chair, tired of hearing non-stop requests for laboratory equipment, calls all of the department's professors into an office. He says to them, "We simply don't have enough funding for all of this expensive equipment. You need to be more like the math professors; all they need is pens, paper, and wastebaskets. Or better yet, the philosophy professors! They just need the pens and paper."

Science/math is just the breaking down of things into a simplified abstraction of reality; a model of the real world. Well actually, math doesn't even pretend to exist in the real world anymore. Scientists still arrogantly claim their models are reality though.

Listen carefully, fucktards.

Before you can propose dice are thrown, you have to have a dice-tosser.

There is ZERO evidence of this dice-tosser you laughingly refer to as "god".

Establish this "god", and then we can talk like adults.  Until then, you're just making farting noises with your mouth.

Einstein was using it metaphorically. He was either an atheist or a pantheist, though his pantheism was such that most religious people wouldn't recognise it as religion.
Too hard for you to understand? You're exactly as insightful as the theotards you oppose.
