Just what, precisely, does this demonstration and the science that it demonstrates have to do with religion? Unless, of course, your religion is Pure Science!

Have you watched the viudeo - it is appropriately sub-titled though some of the 'sub-titles' are at the top of the screen.

Not on the version I watched!

It is titled Quantum Levitation and Mysteries of Superconductors Explained and is a scientific lecture on that subject and on the search for a superconductor that operates at a higher temperature than that of liquid noitrogen.

Where is the religion?

My apologies; I've just realised that I took the URL from my address box just after the end of the video, by which time it had returned to the parent url.

Here is the proper one:

Science or Religion?

Why not, Science or Magic? Science or Superstition? Science or Myth?

Not that much of a difference.

Woody it's you that's got the imagination and you're certainly gulible enough.

Can you prove the Klingons don't exist?

Klingons, like God, only exist in people's minds.

I'm not too keen on associating the word 'science' with the words 'magic' or 'myth' in this way, ippy; it can give the wrong impression about science.   ;)

I can see there's a lot of work needed here Len, I've been on the bridge of the Enterprise you know, I think it must have been Jim's day off when I was there.

Religion is real, lot's of people are afflicted by it. Magic is not (except the Paul Daniels variety). Superstition is also real, in fact, religion is a subset of superstition. So

    Science or superstition?

would be as valid as Hope's original question and it's more inclusive.

Magic, myth superstition and religion are all in good company with each other, each individual one makes about as much unrealistic sense as any of the others, group them how you like.
