As per Scientist, there is no God..but in today's world 85% human being believe in God. What is your opinion?

Answer 1

I dunno where you got your facts. Most scientists believe in God in some form. They may not all be Christian, but that doesn't mean they don't belive in the Divine.

Answer 2

You have made the assumption that scientists do not believe in God which is not the case. Most scientists actually do believe in God (and I often see them in church). Other answers have made the assumption that you can't believe in God if you are a scientist because scientists believe in the Big Bang theory and it is assumed that it is in direct conflict with the belief in God. That idea makes the assumption that the Bible is literal, infallible and is directly from God.

As a theological student, I can tell you that the Old Testament, particularly the very early texts, is drawn and compiled from four separate sources in ancient times. This is particularly evident in the book of Genesis in the stories of creation and again very strongly in the story of Noah's Ark. Furthermore, there are specific passages that in direct conflict with each other. The two separate sources of Genesis do not create the same timeline of events during creation. The information provided in the Bible for historical references on the creation of the world is vague at best, drawn from human resources that had passed the stories down through generations until writing was created and translated through scribes who were as likely to change things on their own as they were to simply make mistakes.

Certainly there are those who believe the Bible is not capable of having any words incorrect and this information is not provided to try to argue the point. If you carefully look at the story of Moses' escape out of Egypt you will find that the text describes the parting of the Red Sea but the maps in the back of the Bible that show his path distinctly show his travel not even coming close to the Red Sea. A study Bible, however, will further explain that the original Hebrew text could have read Reed instead of Red and it was believed that there was a lake along his path by the name of Reed lake or that it was full of reeds. Does this mean the event didn't happen or that miracles are not possible? Not at all.

We are far from knowing everything there is to know and the probability is that we will never know all of the truth in detail about how the universe was created. Believing in God has nothing at all to do with whether you are a scientist or not. Every legend has some basis in true events and the Bible most certainly has a great deal of historically correct references but that does not mean it is accurate and perfect in everything. It was written by man afterall. And there is nothing that says God didn't create the Big Bang.

Answer 3

I think the number is higher than 85%. Every culture on this planet has some kind of belief in a higher being, no matter what the name. There are many, many different names for God, in different languages. The Bible even has quite a few different names for God. People have the right to believe any way they want. I don't know where you got the idea that scientists don't believe in God. Some do, some don't. Just as some people do, and some don't.
To each his own. I do happen to believe in God, I always have and I always will.

Answer 4

I cannot see any point in this question. Increasing or decreasing your percentage slot will have no effect on the existence of God. I velieve He exist- Alhamdulillaah for His guidance. Talk of the scientist, perhaps you should go and recheck the statement.many a scientist now believe so firmly in this fact that aside all other things that need pass their laws. God is unique and needs not be subjected to their self laid rules. He created them and not they Him.
Atom has been proven wrong, birth stages proven wrong, darwean proven wrong. infact the little detail of whatever goes up must come down, has failed the test- satelites hangs up there. The heavier it is the faster it falls. Well, God is heavier and He sit above the universe on His throne.
The scientist are no more than a bunch of privedge ppl, who get drunk by their callings and speaks above their head. Not all of them anyway, apologies to the sane

Answer 5

It wasn't that many years ago that more than 85% of the earth's human population believed the world was flat, or that the sun revolved around the earth, or that eclipses were deadly forces that had to feared, or that tomatoes were deadly. Hmmmm....do I sense a trend here? I get the impression that the majority of this planet's human occupants will believe anything other than the idea that people are actually smart enough to figure things out.

Answer 6

Close to 100% of working people believe they deserve a raise. Does that make it true? Close to 100% of people believe they are basically good people. How come there are crimes?

Actually, in spite of the evidence, many scientists do believe in a god of some description. But that doesn't make that true either!

I'm interested in which god it is you think 85% of people believe in though, how do you account for the thousands of different religions if 85% of people believe in one particular god?

Answer 7

I dunno where all before me got their ideas that scientists believe in god. If they believe in the christian god then they cannot believe in the big bang and also evolution. What about dinosaurs/adam and eve etc. Of course there is no god. Religion is a form of social control. The powers that be control the masses by spinning an unbelievable yarn that somehow even so called intelligent folk subscribe to!!
And also where do this 85% live? IN the third world maybe where they are easier to control?? They dont live in my f*kin street!!

Answer 8

It's a little disingenuous to say 85% believe in God, a good portion of the 85% believe in supernatural entities that can't be confused with the abrahamic god.

My opinion, the supernatural isn't real.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).

Answer 9

as per scientist - there is no proof of God. Or proof God doesn't exist. The idea of God as something unqantifiable is not a part of science (which deals with quantifiable things). If you believe things exists if they are quantifiable (as I do) then God doesn't exist. This is not true for all people (as definition of existence is unique for each of us).

On the other hand, I recently saw a show where people who really believed in zodiac were confronted with definite proof that zodiac is a bunch of random guesses, It didn't had any impact on them. Belief in zodiac made them happy, no matter if it's real or not.

So, people believe in God as a way for them to be happy (scientific explanation). More power to them. Some of us are only happy in hard reality (quantifiable things).

Answer 10

85% of human beings do not believe in god - approximately 80% are religious with the rest being either Agnostic, Aethiest or their own version of something... however, Hindus do not believe in the Christian god and Sikh's do not believe in the Islam god and Buddhists don't believe in any god.... and it goes on. You haven't actually asked a question here either---- so I guess i'll leave it at that, stop making up statistics.

Answer 11

Science can neither prove nor disprove the existence of God.

It's all down to personal belief, and unfortunately history is littered with scientific mistakes and examples of proven facts that scientists had previously stated was impossible.

Scientists laughed when the Wright Brothers claimed that they had build a flying machine.

To quote Professor John Babbington "A ridiculous claim. Any device for flying would needed to be lighter than air".
