#coexisting with science

[unmerrymagdalene]

I cannot for the life of me find the post, but it was a screenshot of the Sex Tape scene in Science class. And Sirris says something like “I want you (guys) to know what sex really looks like. Humans are animals, after all.”

And I think it made something very obvious click for me?

Of course Sirris is like that when it comes to sex/sex education. They’re either taking it from a scientific perspective, where showing live examples of animals mating is understandable for educational purposes. Or even just from a “You’ll only really learn by experiencing/seeing it for yourself” way. It’s very blunt and “realistic.”

But it also made me realize that Sirris definitely does not talk about the emotional aspects of sex? I know that sounds fucking bonkers to mention considering the game, but they focus more on the act than like…the possible mindset/thoughts surrounding it? I feel like that’d be an equally important thing to explore, if they were discussing sex from a human being perspective.

But I guess humans are just animals after all

Although the battle lines have shifted down through the years from heliocentrism to evolution (and let’s not get started on the age of the Earth), it feels like there’s a fundamental conflict between science and religion, especially with respect to the Abrahamic religions like Christianity and Islam. I (Christina), the host of this podcast episode, as a scientist and atheist who tends to assume all scientists are atheists—because how could they not be?—am definitely guilty of thinking this.

Yet, there is a long tradition of curiosity, inquiry, and, yes, science within the Abrahamic religions and no shortage of devout scientists working hard to this day to understand the workings of the world and cosmos. I decided that it was time to confront my assumptions by talking to one of my religious colleagues. Thank you in advance to Dr Norm Nelson—an oceanographer whose Christianity is a core part of his life—for discussing whether or not there is a conflict between science and Christianity, and where the roots of that conflict might lie.

excatholic will always be a better descriptor for me than agnostic or atheist cause it's not like i don't believe in god. that's not really a choice for me. my foundational perception of the world is built around a belief in god. so all that core stuff is still there. religious leaning of 'excatholic' meaning that to me the foundational facts of the catholic tradition are true, that god is real to me and so are sins and saints, but that i am consciously choosing to be contrary to all the practices of the religion because i think they are bad 👍 'excatholic' cause i think it's all real! i have just chosen to go to hell about it 🫡

knowing that most complex life forms are host to a teeming multitude of various life forms by design and actually each their own fully unique microbiome is simultaneously one of the most breathtaking and disgusting facts i have ever known

i fucking hate when christian asshats (or insert group here but it's mostly them) are all "oh well science is just as up for debate as christianity when you think about it! how can we be sure of scientific research and theories actually being correct?" well first of all when you perform experiments you actually get results, ethel

Human Interaction With The Environment In Scavengers Reign

Well, this might be the longest critical essay I've ever written for fun. I just love Scavengers Reign so much! There's so much there to think and write about! I might even have another (much shorter) one of these essays in me for next week...

Spoiler Warning for Scavenger’s Reign. I’m going to be going into detail about the plot and major events of the show in most paragraphs except the one immediately after this one (to hopefully prevent you from accidentally seeing any spoilers before you can read this and can click away if you don’t want to read about what happens in the show). Also, before you read this post, you should probably…

do you think scully and mulder watch the bachelor together?

Nah, I think if Mulder doesn't have Twilight Zone on for white noise while they do work or chores downstairs then they're probably continuing their weekly date night that's really just a family movie night where they watch a famous classic.

constantly using religious imagery and themes not because i have trauma but because now that my belief system is "sure why not" i don't worry about hell or blasphemy and i just think the aesthetic fucks
