Is there a chance that some day the realities of Science will overcome the obscurities of Theology?

Answer 1

Nope. They are concerned with different matters. Science deals with what we don't know. Theology deals with what we can never know, accept or comprehend.
I doubt Science will ever be able to address the existence of the soul, afterlife and random events in our lives that defy all scientific explanation. We need the obscurity so that we can safely exist knowing that some events are pre-determined and that in the end what we've done in life mattered.

Answer 2

Most likely no.

Humans, by nature, are constantly trying to find out more. More about life, more about existence, and more about how things work. Most of the scientific principles that scientific belief is based on are THEORY. This makes for a slippery slope when a person puts all of their stock into science. Unfortunately, the same (if not more so), is true for theology. People pour their belief into completely unrelatable and untouchable things in order to try and ground themselves in life. Many people simply can not comprehend what it is they are attempting to grasp at, so this can also cause failure. I personally believe in God, but I do not believe in religions. I also believe in science, but only to the point of things that can be absolutely proven. The happy medium here is when one can find belief in all things and not feel like things just don't make sense. To not be led by a leash from either side, as it were.

Answer 3

Theology will always rule over Science because it has a greater past in the world. Theology is deeply rooted in to everything we learn and live. All of our morals come from Theology.

Answer 4

I beleive not, as they deal with fundumentally different things. Theology and faith deal with things that specifically can't be proven, things that are by their nature unknowable. The entire point of science is to deal with the quanifiable, the knowable, the provable. So the one, in truth doesn't really, in the end affect the other. There will always be faith, just as there has always bee science. Both will have their staunch proponants.

Answer 5

I doubt it. As a Catholic school science teacher, I think it more likely that science and religion will become more closely connected, rather than more opposed. The way I see it is that science is part of man's coming to know the designs and processes involved in God's works. I take it as a matter of faith that things like the Big Bang and Evolution are part of an incredibly comlex scheme that we will gradually come to know and understand more as time progresses.

Answer 6

Science actually has been very supportive of God! It is showing evolution is absurd and that intelligent design is the best answer!

So the realities of science will and has answered questions of the Bible that we could not comprehend at the time!

Answer 7

Romantic phrase but Theology overlaps Science but is not all Science. So, the answer is no.

Answer 8

well the problem is that if people refuse to accept the spiritual and only look at the physical than I guess science is enough for them. How can science answer questions of a spiritual nature?

Answer 9

They may poinpoint different theories of an event, but people need to believe in soemthing greater than themselves, even scientists...basically they are putting their belief in machines and measuring devices. Talk to any quantum physicist and there is not much difference from the belief he puts into super tiny particles without "touching proof" and your average Joe putting his faith into whatever name he knows God by.

Its like evolution...no one really knows how that all happened but they know it did and they can theorize til they are blue but unless they figure out how to go back in time and see for sure...no one really knows.

Answer 10

it's another rat race..
though we didn't reallize that the realities of theology has unveiled the obscurities of science
