Fitrah, DawahFilms and Science

  • 7 years ago
How innate is the Fitrah? This is a comment on the claims that science has established a natural propensity to a god in the human brain. I also show what the result is for people like DawahFilms, who don't look for background information or take a critical look at something which only satisfies their immediate and superficial requirements. such as a headline. So they see the title of a paper which mentions science and something that would fit into their agenda and they take it on board without any checks.

Scientific inquiry should be objective and - according to the Oxford English Dictionary - follow a methodology "that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses"
