Food for Thought

Is science becoming a belief system, with the scientists as the clergy?

Food For Thought - 01/2010

It is the beginning of a new month, and I have decided that I will have a monthly post listing all the 'Food For Thought' posts I have done so that comments can be made on them should antone feel they warrant it. So without further ado here are the ood and bad for the first month of the new decade:

29/01/2010 - Can modern medicine go too far? If it can at what point is it that the possible benefits are surpassed by the risks associated by it?

27/01/2010 - Have we become too reliant on machines, computers - which we now use to control machines - or not at all?

22/01/2010 - Would we look after the rainforests better if we believed every tree and its own god protecting it and that we had to appease the god with an offering before cutting it down?

21/01/2010 - As the human race continues to grow at ever increasing rates, is it right for us to expand onto other planets and celestial objects to continue this expansion or should we cull the human population as we do with other species of large animals?

20/01/2010 - If communism worked and all were equal in worldly goods, would it really lead to a happier society or would the fact that we are different in physical being prevent this?

19/01/2010 - Will The 'X' Factor be a force for improving music by creating a generation bored of the karaoke stars singing songs written for them who then create new genres and inspiring songs?

18/01/2010 - Exercise is supposed to release endorphins, so does regular exercise make you happier, or does the stress of having to maintain figure and fitness negate the endorphins of the workout?

15/01/2010 - Is it possible that dark energy, which comprises 70% of the universe, could, in part, be gods and deities?

14/01/2010 -
It is said that you can "devour" a book, is there some form of digestive process in the brain creating memories?

I hope people enjoyed these little snippets, even if most are a little bad.
