I am a christian?

Question

as a christian of the 21st century i believe that science needs to be incorporated in to religion. All religions had their origins in a pre scientific world, and dont you think that its time that all religions look into scientific theories as well?

Answer 1

What you're saying doesn't seem to preclude you from being a Christian.

Remember your relationship with God is between you and God. It does not matter what someone else thinks.

Answer 2

No.
Being a Christian is a matter of faith. You can not go thru the Bible and take out things that can not be proven by science. Take Adem and Eve- either you believe it or you do not- Moses parting the Red Sea, believer that it was done, or don't. There is no middle ground. If you need science to tell you that something really happened or that it could have happened then you are missing the whole point of being a Christian. Why does God need to prove Himself on a scientific level to you?

Answer 3

Scientific theories change. Given the slow rate at which religious teaching incorporates new ideas and abandons old ones, would you really want to slow down scientific progress by turning theories that should be either discarded or modified into some sort of dogma?

Answer 4

There is not and never has been a conflict between science and religion, how can it detract from the Glory of God that we have a better understanding of Her works? The only conflict is between science and the men who use religion to obtain secular power and worldly gain. After all, where would the Oral Roberts' of the world be if they had get honest jobs?

Answer 5

are u insane, why would the scientific community care about your request. They all have their own deadlines and grant proposals to do. You might as well appeal to the politicians, but that would be kind of dumb. If u force scientists to work for christianity then they will be under a lot of pressure and censorship base on what they can or cannot research judged by a bunch uneducated church priests. Your idea is pretty impossible, best to just write novels with.

Answer 6

I am a Christian, and I don't really care about science. I personally don't think we need to incorporate science into Christianity. Christianity has stood the test of time for 2,000 yrs now so why change it. We have God and his Word we don't need science

Answer 7

I think it's time for religions to get rid of their archaic, outdated rules and dogmas and make some actual progress toward a 21st Century thought process. Religion relies too much on metaphore, allegory, and fiction to really be relevant today. PEACE!

Answer 8

Many religions have accepted science. The Pope, for example, has publicly acknowledged the validity of evolution. Not that anyone pays any attention to that sort of thing.

Answer 9

I believe on the other hand that, with "true science", we will understand about the nature of God.

Present science as we know it , is only bits of knowledge of the "Truth".

In many ways, we human is like a group of primitive natives, who is trying to comprehend the technology of space shuttle and laser beams. Those natives will surely consider rockets are miracles.

Answer 10

Does Astronomy need to be incorporated into Astrology, Chemistry into Alchemy, Mathematics into Numerology, etc.? No, to advance knowledge we discard superstitious beliefs and replace them with true knowledge. Lao Tzu said that the value of a cup is in its emptiness. Empty your mind of astrology, alchemy, numerology and religion and fill it with genuine truth!

Answer 11

I don't get to decide what all religions should do.

There are mainstream religions that do not find a conflict between God and science.
