Do you think that Science and Religion r just different methods of helping us understand the world we live in?

Question

Is science the explanation behind God's supposed creation?

Answer 1

Exactly.

True understanding is reached when you realize that science and religion go totally hand in hand and that science is the explanation for God and that God is the explanation for science.

Answer 2

Those who say that science and religion are incompatible are very ignorant. 'Science' is about observation, and from those observations, you form conclusions. Two different scientists can look at the exact same data, or observations, and form two different conclusions, one or both of the conclusions can be wrong.

So it is the data, or facts (observations) that are science. The conclusions are not necessarily scientific or science.

Religion is a faith that colors how your brain interprets the facts and observations. For example, almost all of the great scientists were creationists who believed in God. Until a hundred and fifty years ago or so, these brilliant people who made the bulk of discoveries and founded the science upon which our modern scientists depend believed there was a God.

But the modern scientists of today were raised in an educational system that taught them there is no God. This colors their conclusions. Atheism and evolution are religions because they are based upon faith. For example, far less than 1% of the universe has been explored, yet atheists have stated that there is no God. This is like studying one square inch of dirt somewhere, and not finding any gold, and then stating that, based upon your search, not only is there no gold on the earth, but there is no such thing as gold at all.

It is a huge leap of faith. Evolution is another leap of faith. Science has never observed anything evolving from one form to another that is, genetic information being added. Both the laws of biogenesis and thermodynamics make evolution impossible, yet, they make the leap.

Today, many scientists every year who are not necessarily religious are turning away from the evolution model because the facts point to creation. The more they learn, the less the facts support evolution.

But a couple of hundred years ago, slavery was in fashion in the west, and the people had a hard time reconciling Christianity with forced slavery. Along came Darwin on his white horse to proclaim that slaves were a less evolved 'race' (yes, the concept of race was invented to place people with different skin colors into different evolutionary classes). Darwin taught, and Hitler, Stalin, and many others bought the idea, that races were evolutionary stages. The whites believing the blacks and Jews were the less evolved stages which needed to be put down, as evolution requires that the strong devour the weak to advance.

Millions of humans have been murdered by atheists in that last century to advance this belief.

Answer 3

In the old days, people used science to try to explain what was going on around them. They used their religion and "science" to explain what they saw, or at least what they saw through the naked eye. Science was filled with mostly hypothesis and barely fact. Now, science is still using the idea of hypothesis and theory, but science is not religioned based. Instead, it is made up of what if's or when's. Therefore, branching off from religion and starting its own faith. Furthermore, science is a way to show how we were made,but it is made of what ifs and whens (and not trying to prove that there is a God, but trying to prove their might have been or is something else)

Answer 4

It is the Explanation of the Universe And all that is in it. The Bible tells about Most of it, if The scientists could understand it, they would get ahead. There is not one fact in creation God does not already know. But Mankind through Science is ever learning.

Answer 5

In some ways yes and in some ways no. The "science" in The Davinci Code was not an explanation. God is the only one who can help us truly understand the world we live in. Probably one of the most oldest and best ways to understand the world we live in is protrayed in the Bible. I think science can't explain everything we know or want to know, that's God's job when he "returns" or when we get to heaven, if we do of course.

Answer 6

NO.
I can't think of any way that religion has helped our understanding.
There are many examples of how religion has opposed understanding.
Some of the worst non-help comes with phrases such as, 'god moves in mysterious ways' and 'it is god's will' - totally incomprehensible.
Neither the Bible nor the Qur'an (yes, I've read both) provide any sensible or believable explanations about anything we wish to understand. The same can be said for Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and Sikhism.

Answer 7

Waaaaay back when, science existed to prove the existence of God. Apparently, however, sometime back the two began to take two very different sides (mostly when Darwinism came around) and they've been at odds ever since. I think that science and religion can (and should) be melded into one coherent whole, but many refuse to accept that as a possibility. So, I think that it is -- but many (most, it would seem) would disagree!

Answer 8

I personally think that science in the simplest, unbiased form is humans' attempt to explain what happens around us. More modern science has turned science into a religion of its own which I completely disagree with. If you speak to Christian chemist or biologist, etc., you will hear how science is used by these to support Christianity. After all, how likely is it that random, abiotic bits suddenly exploded and created a functioning, living and breathing, overly complex person?

Answer 9

I don't believe that science and faith are automatically enemies. After all, the rational mind is a product of God's creation. If used wisely, it is a powerful tool to helping others and creating deeper appreciation for the creation.

Answer 10

I think there are certain analogies both are in some ways a search for truth but the domain of both are distinct - God is really outside of what science can sensibly tell us and science is independently true of the accounts of creation in the bible.
