How do you think one can reconcile religion and the sciences?

Question

(scope can cover corporate science, inquiry methods, previous philosophers/scientists and their ideas...)

Answer 1

never.

Religion is based on faith (Faith: things hope for and certain of what we do not see) while science needs proof and testing.

Answer 2

Not sure if this is a real answer, but for me, it is to realize that many of the things I take as proven truths in science, that is, that they can be empirically proven, are really just beliefs for me. For example- the atom. I trust that those who have discovered this and seen it are correct in their formulation of this being a fundamental unit of composition of things. I've not seen this for myself. My belief in God, actually has a more substantive quality (no joke intended) in that I've accepted a personal confirmation of this truth. (fancy way of mentioning prayer) This has not been the case with science and the bulk of my education. I didn't see the sense in re-inventing or re-discovering fire or the wheel. So, if there is reconciliation, perhaps it can be in the assertion that much of science is theory and hypothesis and a belief system, not entirely unlike religion.

Answer 3

Science has become a new form of religion for those who see in it the alternative to more traditionals faiths.
The two fields meet there where somebody 'wants' to believe in something.
The non integralism, be it scientific or religious is the easy way to reconcile the conflicts.

Answer 4

They shouldn't need reconciling. They do not conflict unless someone is bending one beyond its real and intended boundaries. I believe it was Galileo who said that the Bible is intended to tell you how to go through the universe, not how the universe goes. Conversely, science will never positively disprove any religion.

Answer 5

reader of both scopes will eventually end with one conclusion: that religion leads to the same result the science leads to..that is evidence of HIS ( GOD) existence.. both are two different roads for the same end.. human going in one of these roads might think during the journey that they conflic with each other ..what makes him think so that our human mind is limited inspite of all its cababilities and falls short and bewildered in some challanging points..again that will instruct us that this human mind is one evidence of the short of science alone ..
