What is the comparison of science to religion?

Question

This question may rialize that what is the importance of religion and the science and techology.

Answer 1

the basic tenets of religion are based on dogmatic tenets but where as in science , every discovery will be experimented first and results arrived. science is based on rationalistic thinking. and the scientific principles can be proved without doubt and we get consistent results but where as in the case of religion it is the faith and blind belief in god or prophets and one cannot defy and question the things stated in their books.

Answer 2

If I may,

I believe there really isn't much difference between science and religion at all, to be quite honest with you! I've studied science in the past, and I found that science is in fact a test of the mind.

For example, there are MANY variables involved with the scientific testing of aids in rats. Test after test, year after grueling year, and your mind goes suddenly blank before the end-result proves the rat to have died of aids, and without a cure in sight for even the next one.

So it is for religion. Let's look at Catholocism for example. A person enters the faith a ripe young age. He's introduced to a massive number of variables to deal with in his life and by the time he's grown old, he finds that he's still just as empty inside as he was 60-years ago.

A religion has to be practiced until hopefully one day, the recipient gets it right. But sorrowfully, they never do!

But let's throw a monkey-wrench into the soup for a moment, and introduce a THIRD variable to the original question..

Christianity differs from religion, in the fact that it is a relationship with God.. not a religion, that simply teaches about him!

Answer 3

Science attempts to answer questions like religion has done so for thousands of years.

Both are sourced from a deep desire in every human being to find out about himself or herself, and the environment.

So, science and religion observed neutrally, are man's quest for identity !

Which one is right or wrong, is immaterial.

How each of them is used, makes a big difference.

While science attempts to avoid myth and superstition, and tries to apply logic, verification, and validation to explain everything, religion as genuinely taught by the true prophets tells every human being to respect their moral values. Religious establishments all came after the prophets were decimated. Where were they when the prophets needed help ? Some of them justify their criminal business by telling people, the prophets did not need help and did not feel a pin !

So, virtuous pursuit of science or religion is no harm. What it means is to seek the truth independent of politics, power, wheeling and dealing, church, synagogue, mosque . . . etc.

Answer 4

P&T Say:

Science: Change
- Observation
- Hypothesis
- Testing
- Debate

Religion: Rigid
- Asserting
- Insisting
- Twisting Fact
- Torturing

Answer 5

In truth real science validates the Bible. The Bible is the only religious book that is scientifically accurate. Those who follow faulty science that cannot be proven will be in opposition to the truth of God's Word. Some people make science their religion because they put all their hope and trust into it and that is unfortunate because there is a God who loves them and wants them to know Him. He even sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross to make that possible.

Dr. Francis S. Collins is Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. He currently leads the Human Genome Project, directed at mapping and sequencing all of human DNA, and determining aspects of its function. His previous research has identified the genes responsible for cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis, Huntington's disease and Hutchison-Gilford progeria syndrome. He is a member of the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences.

Collins spoke with Bob Abernethy of PBS, posted online at http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/transcripts/collins.html, in which he summaries the compatability of fact and faith thusly:



“I think there’s a common assumption that you cannot both be a rigorous, show-me-the-data scientist and a person who believes in a personal God. I would like to say that from my perspective that assumption is incorrect; that, in fact, these two areas are entirely compatible and not only can exist within the same person, but can exist in a very synthetic way, and not in a compartmentalized way. I have no reason to see a discordance between what I know as a scientist who spends all day studying the genome of humans and what I believe as somebody who pays a lot of attention to what the Bible has taught me about God and about Jesus Christ. Those are entirely compatible views.



“Science is the way -- a powerful way, indeed -- to study the natural world. Science is not particularly effective -- in fact, it’s rather ineffective -- in making commentary about the supernatural world. Both worlds, for me, are quite real and quite important. They are investigated in different ways. They coexist. They illuminate each other. And it is a great joy to be in a position of being able to bring both of those points of view to bear in any given day of the week. The notion that you have to sort of choose one or the other is a terrible myth that has been put forward, and which many people have bought into without really having a chance to examine the evidence. I came to my faith not, actually, in a circumstance where it was drummed into me as a child, which people tend to assume of any scientist who still has a personal faith in God; but actually by a series of compelling, logical arguments, many of them put forward by C. S. Lewis, that got me to the precipice of saying, ‘Faith is actually plausible.’ You still have to make that step. You will still have to decide for yourself whether to believe. But you can get very close to that by intellect alone.”

Answer 7

Religion takes a 'leap of faith' to achieve understanding and science relies on experemental results to support their beliefs

Answer 8

science - is the study of all creations
religion - is a religious organization

but for me a relationship with God and having a righteous life is more important than both.

Answer 9

God created the world, and the word we use to explain his work that underlies everything is "science." Then man decided to use science to try and prove that God doesn't exist. It hasn't happened yet, but they are trying as hard as they can. Kind of ironic.

Answer 10

rather in technology you do no longer regulate the concept. You contemporary the information that disproves the concept and state that the there replaced into no information to assist the concept. in fact you're saying the concept replaced into incorrect. i do no longer think of your assertion approximately faith is precise. faith is according to faith meaning theory interior the absence of information. whilst I understand that it may be effective to have information for our ideals, faith is extremely faith based. in fact we are no longer meant to be finding for information, we are meant to believe God totally whether each and each of the information factors to the alternative. it extremely isn't any longer a reliable assessment considering the fact which you do no longer regulate theories and faith isn't according to information, it extremely is according to faith.
