Science and Hope chapter 2 part 2/2

I picked up a few points from chapter 2.
1. Every time we have ideas and test those ideas with the outside world we are doing science, being scientist.  To me this shows how related and close science is to us.
2. Science is seemed to Carl as a spirituality.
I feel as though Carl is just as spiritually connected to science as I am connected to my faith. To him, science is a source of spirituality.
3. Science has something in it , a mechanism if you might say, that finds errors in itself.
4. Science cannot be earned but proven. By this I  think of a scientist who is the smartest in the branch. Every move he makes in science is seen as perfect due to his wisdom and his credentials, yet he is just as likely to make mistakes as any other scientist.

Carl has shown a lot, through his eyes, about science. In this chapter I feel as though he gets more personal. There's is a sense of connection, even though for most of book I haven't agreed with him.

  1. Glad you're enjoying the book. Being able to understand what an author is trying to express is extremely important, as is forming your own opinion. What didn't you agree with? Was it a theory that your author stated?
