[QUOTE="Caspian, post: 142351, member: 5962"] I find that religious/spiritual people also make a big deal out of quantum mechanics. Deepak chopra and the people behind the documentary "What the bleep do we know" just to name two. Anyways, with regards to Ambarsaria's point. Its not like were waiting for scientists to approve of certain things that have been known to be beneficial to us for a very long time. What were doing is finding out how or why these things are beneficial. I.E. What is the active ingredient? Can we synthesize it better? Such is the case with many products. I mean surely you would not take an aspirin pill and say "Why has it took science so long to acknowledge the benefits of a plant that was widely available and used for centuries." What science did was 1) Verify that it is beneficial and 2) make it even more effecient in the form of a tablet. I can see how some people look at science and go "it is just applied common sense" however in University science classes (particularily psychology classes) we make a point of emphasizing what we call "Hindsight Bias." Which is what I think is effecting your outlook on scientific results. In this case, If science was to find evidence in favour of positive effects that the mind seemingly inacts on its own depending on its state. You people are quick to say "well that was obvious, we have known that for years" but it really isnt as obvious as it seems. For example, If I was to link you guys to a study that suggested Social psychologists have found that, whether choosing friends or falling in love, we are most attracted to people whose traits are different from our own. There seems to be wisdom in the old saying "Opposites attract." You guys would most likely say "Well duh, that was obvious. Its common sense" However, If i was to link you guys to a study that suggested Social psychologists have found that, whether choosing friends or falling in love, we are most attracted to people whose traits are similar to our own. There seems to be wisdom in the old saying "Birds of a feather flock together." You guys would most likely have said the same thing. That its obvious and its just common sense so why are we waiting for science to verify this. When the reality of the situation is anything but. It is not common sense although both outcomes appear to validate some preconcieved notions we share—we feel as if we have known this for sure all along. (The above two situations were actually used in social pyschology experiments and found that a majority of people [somewhere around 78%] are likely to suggest that the outcome was obvious and common sense—despite the fact that both situations are contradictory). For every single thing you can list and suggest that science essentially wasted its time trying to verify the benefits of this thing because the benefits had already been known for centuries. I can go on to list twice as many things that were thought to be beneficial but proved not to be by science... or simply by common sense if you will :P. [LIST] [*]Drinking Cow pee in India [*]Raping albino africans in the hopes to rid oneself of aids [*]Human sacrifice to appease the gods [/LIST] I mean the list really does go on and in my mind the majority of religious traditions fall under this list. The list that science has proven to be unbeneficial. The very few religious traditions (like meditation) that fall in the opposite list—the "good list" if you will. Those things you cant just scoff at and say "why are we waiting for science to verify this, we have known this for a very long time." Because the simple truth of the matter is that religious practices, in general, have a very poor scientific track record. Hindsight Bias can cloud ones perception of Science.
