Why do people ...

can someone proof read this for me? feel free to yell at me and give me criticism as I do know that I probably need it.


Why do people believe claims which do not have a scientific basis?

    Sadly, the majority of us are simple minded beings that enjoy life to be simple and easy to understand. Before humans had science they had religion, which they put their faith in to gain a sense of understanding. Leaders of the ancient world found an easy way to explain to their people why and how things happened. “God made it so.” “To believe otherwise is heresy.” What humans needed before is the same as what the need now and what they’ll need in the future, the simple ape folk want a simple explanation. That is one possible reason for why people may think we never landed on the moon. the other; Because it is also human nature to question. Question what seems ridiculous. If my astronomy professor lectured to the class that today the sky will turn neon purple and the oceans bright yellow, I would question. I would seek answers as to why this would happen and would need to see for myself.

and would you have been answered? No. Why is never answered, may be "how" but not "why". Science can  bring you only so far and the unexplainable beyond is god for those who lack superior thinking abilities. Scientists are included, i see science no different than religion today, both have a principle and follow that unquestioningly. Our realities stand on assumptions there is no room for such arrogance and absolute confidence in your discoveries. Science has the basic assumptions of absolute causality and mathematical reasoning, which are no way certain but rather instinctively right because we have experienced them so, so far. We chose to define the events like that. I propose a third method: integrate philosophy with practical science. Those who say philosophy is unpractical are just idiots who gave up too early in the thinking process, because you sure can devise experiments about how human mind, existence, consciousness or possible higher actions work.
But the real reason why science isn't trusted would be because the people with power antagonize religion and science constantly. They need to keep the masses bus with useless struggles so it becomes easier to control. There is always a contradiction. Religious people refuting evolution theory? Don't make me laugh, you are contradicting with your own principle. Principle of religion is to accept unquestioningly and obey and you try to question a theory with scientific methods? No. Only science people have the right to do so and they are doing it, evolution theory is not universally accepted even among scientists and that is how it should be. No theory should be viewed as true sine there is no true if you don't define it that way.
