Science
1. Does science also need belief or faith?
Yes. Science starts from hypothesis, scientists need to have some beliefs and observe them to
prove they are scientifically correct.
2. Do you think science and religion are separate or indivisible?
If science needs belief in rules and patterns, is it really that different from religion?
many scientists in history were also religious, and their faith helped them believe the world
had order and meaning. Science and religion can work together.
3. Do you think it's good or bad that science is shaped by culture and beliefs?
4. Could science explain everything?
Science is very powerful, but it can’t answer questions like “What is the meaning of life?” or
explain personal feelings, like love, beauty, or moral standards.
5. How was science in Japan different from science in Europe?
In Europe, science grew slowly over time with religious debates, personal questions, and
deep thinking. In Japan, during the Meiji period, science came quickly as a tool for national
strength.
