also, i never said stop searching. but for us humans, we've been on the earth for like what, a mere fraction of the time we believe the universe was created... and now all the sudden we're going to believe we actually have a fucking clue?  |
the laws of physics are constant. they have been the same since the big bang across the entire universe. only now has mankind evolved to the point where it can understand these laws and apply them to understanding how the universe works.
over 450 years ago when Gallileo discovered the Earth revolved around the Sun, even hundreds of years later it still wasn't widely accepted. And i believe the church only recently apologized for condeming Gallileo to hell. anyway, the point im trying to make is that the Earth always revolved around the sun (since the forming of our solar system). it took billions of years of evolution for our species to come to that provable conclusion. you say we've been around a mere fraction of the time since the universe was created. you're wrong, we've been evolving since the creation of the universe. and we're now at that point where we can examine the universe and understand the laws that govern it.
you said, "we think we have a fucking clue." well, until the Rapture occurs or Morpheus shows up offering me the red pill, I'm going to believe what the genius of mankind has established so far. and i still think you're missing the point that science can be wrong. it's about finding and proving truth.
this isn't some bullshit idea someone pulled out of a hat. as i said years of research, observation, and math has gone into it by some of mankinds greatest minds.
keep an open mind, but keep searching for truth? well no shit. what the fuck do you think science is.
