the proper religion has the answers, and science is trying to catch up, but science tends to discount ALL religions because there are so many that are false, and it is tough to determine which is the real religion as many of the fake religions actually have it pretty darn close, but science is on a parelled path with the true religion, and no IT AIN"T CHRISTIANITY, that text proclaims the earth is flat, as does the Koran

No. They are something to help us. We create our own paths. If you stick to just religion, you are lop-sided - you are one sided. If you stick to just science, you are lop-sided. One must have both to get to the destination. You cannot have just one to get there. It is just like running with one foot. It just doesn't work! You will fall too many times. It is all about balance of the heart and the mind. Religion is for the heart. Science is for the mind. Creativity and logic is powerful if you put them together right. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Ecology & Old Time Religion are! (Native American, Wicca, Pagan and Shamanism)To save the Planet!
But then again, Nuclear Science and war mongler religions are on the same path too. To distroy the Planet!
Which side are you on?

despite all of the no answers, i think yes. scienctific evidence points more towards God than towards any other explanation. actually, evidence is weak for naturalistic processes like evolution and what not..actually, there's no true evidence, and if you really find out the facts, there's no way evolution explains our existence. and that person who says that 90%+ are atheists or whatever, although they may say they're atheists while trying to find a purely natural explanation, they arent finding one and will be searching as long as they live bc there isnt one. God gave us science to find him through, and he's basically just allowing us to find him thru it.

No. Science gives people power over nature, including the power to understand ourselves. Religion is about giving a few people power over the masses and making sure the masses don't understand that.

Nope, but then again, it's not about religion, it's about a relationship with God - THAT will get you to Heaven. As for science, it's often misleading although often it compliments Christianity

No. Science is the search for the truth, religion is believing in something you know is false!

Science and religion are both just small parts of Spirituality.
but both are trying to find the same truth,

Absolutely not. They are orthogonal; Science aims at discovering what is true, regardless of what we feel about it, whereas religion aims at believing what feels best, regardless of whether or not it is true. That's why science places evidence and reason above all else and religion places faith (belief in the *absence* of evidence and reason) above all else.
