WK 8: Beyong Belief 10

Richard being the first speaker opens up the talk about medicine and religion being meshed together and if it would be a good idea for physicians caring about your religious tactics. I agree with Richard in saying that i do not think medicine and religion go together or help each other physically but i do say that religious activities might have an effect or some sort in making the person feel better about their future with the outcomes of whatever medicinal practices they are taking. As he says bringing religion into science is not a good thing and i totally agree with him 100 percent. Religion might be good for the health "emotionally" but i do not think that a doctor, physician or whatever have a real place to be telling their patient what to or not to practice. The second speaker i enjoyed as well but did not catch his name. I liked how he was talking about how our mind is just so use to taking actions in believing that a women should do the cooking and all just because we notice it in other cultures and other generations. The untestable proposition is then used here in which i never knew about. Believing natural selection is the only way that life goes on can be just one possibility but to know that there are other thoughts out there, just makes it harder for those trying to prove and truthfully base it all upon one point. We just not knowing what the full fundamental of the process of the brain and why we think they way we do is all a mystery that makes us want more than what we can have at the moment. I wonder if we will ever get to that point, to the point where we know why the brain works like it works and what makes it work like that. Was it all planned before it got installed into our bodies or did it just grow from within us with different particles of our body? This session was interesting and i really enjoyed listening to Neil Tyson once again.
