Science is not a belief system AT ALL. Science is how we not only prove ideas, but MORE IMPORTANTLY, disprove them. Science is rigorous, methodical, and consistent. Science tests ideas and looks for patterns. Science is peer reviewed and open to critical analysis and debate.

“Science is more about your faith in it than it is about the objective truth”

I dare say this is your subjective opinion, which is very unscientific. Good science has no faith in test results and is unbiased. Good science will publish results and hope their peers can confirm or refute them. In the case of the faster than light particle (god particle) discovered at CERN recently, scientists published their results and are ASKING their peers to review it to look for flaws. They are not asking anyone to have faith in their results. This is good science. There is also bad science, or junk science and in general it is referred to as “conspiracy theories”. There is bad religion which we call “ultra-orthodox” or “extremism”.

Please avoid comparing science with religion. They’re uncomparable.

“Science has now become just another form of belief system”

“Science is more about your faith in it than it is about the objective truth”

You need to think more critically.
Science and religion are totally different. Science cannot replace religion and vice versa. They’re not opposites, so don’t feel threatened by it. Science explains the who, what, where, when, how VERY well. Religion explains the why rather well. Science not so well, in many cases. We don’t understand a lot of things, but science helps us.

i agree with your point that science and state should be separated but only till a scientific fact is not substantiated , once it has been proved and can be demonstrated anywhere, at any point of time then debarring government from enforcing it as a law is as good as taking away the judicial system’s authority to sentence a proven criminal.

I am sorry dude but I still disagree with the above proposition.
If a scientific demonstrable fact proves that rape is good for the health of women, no moral scale can justify a rape.
I don’t care whether a scientific fact has been substantiated or not, no scientific fact can trump an individual’s choices, his beliefs and his decisions.
If Alcohol is bad for your body and its a very widely substantiated fact it does not give any govt any right to ban it or prevent me from using it.
Its different issue that they can prevent me from drinking AND driving on PUBLIC ROADS, but that’s not a matter of science, its just that by drinking and driving I might kill someone, and violate that individual’s rights.
Drunk driving is immoral not because its scientifically proven that drinking is harmful to a person’s health or it causes a person to act irrationally and reduces his response time.

The main reason behind SEPARATION OF STATE AND RELIGION is that religious believes are mere faith based on mythology or some anecdotes for which we do not have any substantial proof.

I am sorry but you are wrong on this one too. The separation of state and religion was instilled not because of Mythological beliefs of religions but to install a secular state and all every individual to practice his religion.
The first amendment says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof….
The congress is expressly prohibited from making a law about an establishment of a religion.
The congress is expressly prohibited from making a law about prohibiting the free exercise of a religion.

That is the congress must not endorse or prohibit a religion. Not  because of what religions believe but because establishing or prohibiting any religion will result in a violation of an individual’s right to follow his religion.

Similarly, by establishing a law about a scientific opinion, irrespective of its degree of provability, the state violates an individual’s property rights and right to have his own scientific opinion.

There are numerous cancer patients(specially bone marrow cancer) who cannot bear the pain without smoking weed. There are numerous old people whose life become easy by smoking weed. But all these uses are banned in America because American govt considers Marijuana harmful.

If a person wants to smoke weed, it should be his right to do that.

So if the ill effect of drug ,of pork has been proved and  if we can prove that African American people are distorting American gene pool and creating an increase in heart disease risk to the general people of America, then state will have to implement some stern laws to ensure safety of society ,like the head of family would do for better future of family members . After all we have a WELFARE STATE.

I am sorry dude, but I gotta let you know that if these are actually your beliefs then you are a FASCIST.
Why did Hitler killed 6 million Jews?? Because he was simply believing that he was purifying his kingdom(taking care of his Fatherland). Go read Mein Kampf(if you haven’t already) and you will find yourself agreeing with his ideas a lot(the superiority of a race is a scientific concept, not a religion concept).
You are on a very wrong website, our every single viewpoint is against such mentality(the welfare/nanny state, the societal/national notions etc).

well ,i think there is no point in separation of science and state since basically science is “what has been proved or can be proved “.We are never forced to join any science factions.

Sorry buddy but my article failed to convey its point to you. Secondly your arguments are self-contradictory. You say “there is no point in separating science and state” and later you say “we are never forced to join any science faction”.

Well the problem is if you are not forced to join any science faction then why shouldn’t there be a separation of science and state?
The sheer fact that if State makes a law that nobody should eat transfat or use Cannabis(weed), it means that everybody is forced to abide to the science faction which believes that transfat is harmful for the people, and Cannabis should be banned because of its psychedelic effects.

I mean why do we have separation of state and church?? Because we don’t want one religion to dictate people of other religions.

If tomorrow Science comes and says that African American people are distorting our gene pool and creating an increase in heart disease risk to the general people of America, would you support a measure to “segregate” all the black people based on a scientific discovery??

If you say “oh but science cannot be used to prove those things”, well why not? Are you relying on the fact that its never going to happen??

We have a separation of state and religion, but that doesn’t mean that state follows a largest common denominator of all religions, because there are people who don’t wanna follow any religion.

You cannot have a law asking all the schools to pray to whichever god they want(but they must pray)  because then what about the people who are atheists? This is why the state was separated from the religion.

How is it that you are not allowed to ban pork and beef, but if scientifically its proven that pork is harmful to health then the govt doesn’t even wait to blink an eye and bans it?

How is it govt gets to decide that people must not consume crack cocaine, what about the individual who does not believe that the negative effects of crack cocaine are negative.

Killing an individual is illegal everywhere not because one of the ten commandments are “thou shalt not kill”, but because its immoral to have one individual devoid life out of another individual.

Another issue is you are not getting the whole point of separation of science and state, nobody is saying Earth is flat and arguing against science with religion, instead what I am saying here is that creating a law that everybody must study “earth is flat” and punish individuals for believing otherwise is no different from what Church did.

People are free to believe any religion they want, but state has no right to create a law abiding a specific religion. Similarly, people are free to follow whatever science they want, teach their kids in scientific schools teach them that earth is being warmed by human, and environment is being destroyed by cow farts, its just that the STATE must not be in a position to force its a scientific opinion on others.
