Does your faith/religion conflict with modern science?

Question

If so, which to you tend to agree with more? Why?

If not, which religion do you follow?

Answer 1

My religion doesn't. You should, however, examine an idea for yourself before accepting it as fact.

"Believe nothing. No matter where you read it or who has said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."

Answer 2

Muslims have always respected the field of science .

Why did I Embrace Islam?
This is an extract from Dr. Gronier, a French MP, who embraced Islam. Revealing the reason of embracing Islam he said, I read all of the Ayat (Quranic verses), which have a relation to medical, health, and natural sciences that I studied before and have a wide knowledge of. I found that these verses are totally compatible with and give a picture of our modern sciences. Thus, I embraced Islam as it was obvious that Muhammad revealed the Absolute Truth more than a thousand years ago. Had every specialist, artist or scientist compared those Quranic verses to his own specialization, beyond the shadow of doubt he would embrace Islam, especially if he has a sound mentality and goodwill to search for the truth and not a mentally defective person with the intentions of malevolent aims.

Answer 3

Being Christian isn't a one way ticket to banishing modern science. As any scientist that is a Christian (and there happen to be many of them) will show you, the two can co-exist in many ways.
I am Christian and I see Him in evolution. I don't go so far as to say that science has the whole evolution deal down pat. But certain aspects of religion (times and places, etc.) can co-exist with science. Science falls short when it comes to faith. Now that's something from within that I don't think science will ever explain.
But there are enough rather intelligent people out there from different scientific disciplines who do believe there is something divine out there playing a role in this universe/world (see: http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/quotes.html)

Answer 4

Not at all! For instance in the bible - Psalms it says the sun is a planet that spins and this was written long ago. While our science believed [as it was not proved] that sun is a stationery planet. Latter on it was found that sun does orbit and spins.
There are many more scientific truth in the bible to mention...as we may take alot of time to verify all the truth in the bible may be centuries, so as far as what has been revealed truth in the bible is good to be on the safer side and accept it completely. This what bible call FAITH.

Answer 5

I have no religion and I believe in Intelligent Design. God Deserves All The Credit For Modern Science.

Shalom

Answer 6

No, I don't think my faith conflicts with modern science.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
There is no conflict between God and science. The conflict is between arrogant theologians who think they know everything, and big headed scientists who are sure they do. God has no problem with science...He invented it in the first place.
There are many questions I don't know the answers to. But I do know the ONE Scientist Who does, truly, have all the answers.

Answer 7

No I work in the field of science - chemistry. I agree more with science than theology. Is science perfect.. of course not but it is continually trying to advance itself. Disproved theories in science does not make science invalid, it gives the stepping stone to the new theory. I do not have a religion as I am an atheist.

Answer 8

We all know scientific theories have changed many, many times over the years.
Evidence is increasingly proving things in the bible to be correct.
Still, there will always be -theories- that contradict the bible.
However, yes, I think a lot of science does support the bible.
Theories will always conflict with one thing or another. No-one can be 100 percent sure of any of these things.

Answer 9

absolutely NOT!
Islam encourages science and there are many and many verses in the holy Quran that talk about science and encourage to discover the truth about everything that God's creates.
(Have these people never seen how Allah originates the creation, and then repeats it ? Surely this (repetition) is easier for Allah. Say to them, "Go about in the earth and see how He has begun the creation; then Allah will recreate life: surely Allah has power over everything.) holy quran

(Ask them, "Can those who know and those who do not know ever be equal?" Only men of understanding do accept the admonition.) holy quran

(Do you not see that Allah sends down rainwater from the sky and we bring forth thereby a variety of fruits of different colours ? In the mountains also there are streaks, white and red and jetblack, with different hues. And likewise, men, beasts and cattle also have different colours. The fact is that only those of His servants, who possess knowledge, fear Allah. Surely, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Forgiving.) holy quran
but when science conflicts with morals,Islam takes a position that Islamic scholars could handle with.

Answer 10

NO> I believe that science only "hints" at the complexity of god's creation, I believe the 7 day creation shouldn't be taken literally, but instead God inspired it in a simple way so everyone could understand it, yet God is the focus of the bible and not nature>
