And they preach of a great flood , while the native Indians have talked of a flood ,from the beginning of the flood.

Answer 1

Because science contradicts religion, so it depends on people's beliefs and faith.

Answer 2

No one denies real science. The problem is that there is so much money in junk science designed to scare you into spending money that people now have a hard time determining what is real and what isn't. Your example of a global flood thousands of years ago is a good example. Some would use this as a way to "prove" gloabl warming while a reasonable person would see right away that this flood happened without human intervention and clearly was a natural occurance.

Answer 3

I don't think people deny science so much as some of it's particular assumptions and conclusions. There is a perceived bias against traditional religious views, that comes from long experience. The argument is much like the right left political arguments of our time, where there is a strong tendency to believe that those who question our assumptions are foolish or dangerous or both. Scientists are human, they make assumptions within an intellectual framework that eliminates many competing paradigms from the get go. Experiments require repeatability, controlled circumstances, and often avoid or ignore the singularities that can exist in the real world. Evolution is a sound theory, but saying it is not open to criticism, question, or even contrary interpretation is just as irrational as fundamentalist religious belief. Many assume that Darwin's notebooks were honest and accurate accounts and that he did not eliminate data that contradicted his basic theory. Yet, the same assumption of honesty and accuracy is not extended to writers of religious texts, if their experience is unique and differs from the norm, it is because they are "crazy", misguided, deluded, or malicious, instead of devout, unique, or blessed. I can imagine what it would be like if one were to be born with a sense of smell comparable to that of a dog, or extraordinary hearing- who would believe you if you described your experiences? Imagine being the only person in a room who could see color, we know that many people lack such a capacity, but what if only one in a million posessed such a capacity? The seer, the psychic, the prophet are treated to ridicule, yet there is a skepticism that is turned against skepticism, a distrust of the person or group that claims infallibility or omniscience. Scientific inquiry uses deductive reasoning as a tool, but it should not be used as a weapon to bludgeon competing ideas into submission to the altar of majority opinion.

Answer 4

Perhaps you could examine the thoughts of Albert Einstein. Of science, faith and imagination, I think that you will find that Einstein puts science last. Sometimes the answer is 'just because' for a very good reason.
Who would want all the answers? In questioning we can allow a universe of imagination to give depth to the journey of existence. Answers give us nothing but a destination.

Answer 5

It's easy. Just say some stuff like I think you are lying. And stuff. It does not matter. If they deny science, they say that they are not denying the god, so it's ok. You know and I know that God is powerful. But is God like somehting that you postulate if you feel like doing it or is he just a emotion. So posibly, you have to go into the machine of the mind and discover it.

Answer 6

A great Einstein quote "Science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind." Take it from Einstein one of the greatest scientific thinkers of the modern world who believed that there must be a God.

Answer 7

your ques is very confusing
i am not able to understand what you r trying to say in 2 3 4 paragraph

Answer 8

Religious indoctrination,puts blinder's on peoples minds,it makes them ignorant to what science facts can prove.

Answer 9

Typically for religious reasons. Which is silly, because science can make useful predictions, while religion can predict nothing.
