Is there any religion that can progress like science?

Question

I think the problem I have with most religions I have seen is there absolute belief that everything they say is "right" There is no room for progress or change.

Answer 1

Yes, I can relate. I don't know about other faiths but the Christian faith seems to base a huge amount of pride and security on a never changing GOD. The gods of religions seem also to never want their creations (humanity) to grow up and become spiritually mature. Religions in and of themselves survive only if they can create a dependence. The gods of religions generally are too insecure, needy, and egotistical for me. I mean really the whole idea of the worship things give it away. In a sense gods of religion are just too human. I expect a hell of a lot more from someone I'm suppose to worship. ADD>>>Well there you go smh (above post) just told the whole story. I guess we who actually use the minds the creator gave us to question the religions are anti-Christ. FEAR! I don't question Jesus because I think that guy really knew something. He said the KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN. I question the human ego to handle such amazing information without tainting it like RELIGIONS have!

Answer 2

Taoist. They won't tell you anything is absolute, heck they don't even think the world is big and sand particles are small, they are open to anything. A lot of taoism is built around change, they love it. One of the main texts is all about change, The Book of Changes, I-Ching. It has a history of change as well, it is a philosophy, then a religion, then a philosophy, some say mind first, others say body, but they all think each path is valid. It is said in taoism, there are 10,000 ways to enlightenment (10,000 is a special number in chinese to represent every way no matter how large the number), a few more won't make much difference. Taoism is already too large a body of knowledge for anyone person to know, and each generation they expect them to test and experience what the masters told them, not just blindly follow it. The taoist cannon has texts spanning thousands of years, and not all say the same thing, they are very open to new ideas, thoughts and practices. China's religions all have a history of updating and adopting other practices.

They wouldn't care if you said there is or is not a deity, it makes little difference.

Answer 3

Most of the teachings of Zen Buddhism are able to accommodate (and even help people understand) science, particularly the curious world of subatomic physics and the mathematics of probability. The essence of Zen is to understand that things are the way they are.

Most religion is an effort to impose a set of rules on a society that is intended to improve the quality of life for the whole society. The best way to do this, historically, has been to claim the rules were provided by some 'supernatural' entity. Pah!

Answer 4

Religion isn't to prove a point and base in something that is completely man made, religion is what a well known man left behind for others to follow, there is nothing new its only base in faith and worship, to thank God the creator, of Life. The one who created everything the mind, the soul the spirit and even your body, nothing is and nothing will be without HIM. Nothing not even The Sun. not light only darkness.

Answer 5

Theres a code to the Bible that teaches us that it is the word of God. The first page is page one. Then on the next page it is page 2. 1+1 =2. Then on the next page its page 3. 2+1 equals 3. You see this throughout the entire book! on every page! that if you add one to the page number from the previous page you get the number of page you are currently on.

This proves the Bible is the word of God

Answer 6

Science is not going through progression, it's undergoing revision. Have you not noticed that it is science where many place their belief accepting everything as right only to be told much later that it got this or that wrong.

Science is fallible but the word of God (that is in Christ) is truth, it requires no revision, it does not need to progress, these are Gods words spoken to His creation for their eternal benefit. They are meant to be understood as they are written and they are written as they are meant to be understood, not just by you and I but for all men across all of the ages.

I pray you will read them and understand.

Answer 7

The islam is the only and true religion
The Islamic world, which in medieval times extended as far west as Spain, also produced many scientific breakthroughs. The Arab mathematician Muhammad al-Khwārizmī introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals to Europe many centuries after they had been devised in southern Asia. Unlike the numerals used by the Romans, Hindu-Arabic numerals include zero, a mathematical device unknown in Europe at the time. The value of Hindu-Arabic numerals depends on their place: in the number 300, for example, the numeral three is worth ten times as much as in 30. Al-Khwārizmī also wrote on algebra (itself derived from the Arab word al-jabr), and his name survives in the word algorithm, a concept of great importance in modern computing.

In astronomy, Arab observers charted the heavens, giving many of the brightest stars the names we use today, such as Aldebaran, Altair, and Deneb. Arab scientists also explored chemistry, developing methods to manufacture metallic alloys and test the quality and purity of metals. As in mathematics and astronomy, Arab chemists left their mark in some of the names they used—alkali and alchemy, for example, are both words of Arabic origin. Arab scientists also played a part in developing physics. One of the most famous Egyptian physicists, Alhazen, published a book that dealt with the principles of lenses, mirrors, and other devices used in optics. In this work, he rejected the then-popular idea that eyes give out light rays. Instead, he correctly deduced that eyes work when light rays enter the eye from outside.

Answer 8

I think that there is room to progress in many religions, just look back in time, there used to be one religion, and it branched off, and became may version and variations.

Answer 9

Eclectic or cafeteria-type spirituality usually allows a lot of room for progress and updating and keeping up with the emotional, mental and psychological changes a person undergoes throughout their lives. :-> Just speaking from experience. :-)

Answer 10

Ahhhh, HON,
We are ALL on a spiritual journey and that includes religion. You learn something new everyday.. Once we end our Journey, We go to Heaven. Have patience God isn`t finished with us yet... {:-)

However please don`t confuse Religion with God. Religion is a man-made organized *set of rules* for a church congregation.. God does not care if you are a baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Mormon or Islam.. He doesn`t care if you wear make up or not. he doesn`t care if you wear shorts, He doesn`t care if have facial hair.. He loves you and cares about what you look like on the inside..

We are all struggling to achieve oneness with OUR God..

God bless & hugs from Texas. {:-)
