Science doesn't step into theology. Science just seeks to ascertain facts. If the facts don't support theology, then theology is wrong and will have to adjust. Or do you think religious people should hold on to the belief that the sun orbits the earth?

Science and theology are the same !
Look at the facts and imagine this: Human beings sit on the surface of the planet in a vast universe and they philosophize. Some call themselves scientists, some call themselves priests, and while others call themselves mystics and poets. They are all searching for the same thing: Power of over nature and destiny !
The scientist writes down cryptic mathematical equations which he believes describe nature. The Priest, not being good at mathematical abstraction, writes in simple language which he feels describes the behaviour and purpose of all of creation. What they don't realize is that, they are exactly the same: They both are looking look for evidence of purpose,design, order, and pattern in nature. Both find employment in the world and both find compensation. But neither ever finds the truth.
Perhaps the most enlightened of all humans is the space explorer!
The space explorer is out there looking for "other opinions"( ie. alien civilizations) to see if they have a handle on what the purpose of all creation is!
I believe that, If all the significant portions of human knowledge were fit into a thumbnail, then that thumbnail would be mostly empty because so far as knowing the whole of the universe, we know next to nothing as we have only just begun to scratch the surface of our little planet on top of which we sit let alone the surface of all that is, was, and ever will be!
We've only just begun our quest for the truth. We are like cosmic babies!
Welcome to reality!

As others have said, science sets out to seek answers, or facts for specific questions. How was the earth formed? Where did humans come from? What do spidermonkeys eat?
On the other hand, theology seems to only recruit 'facts' or anecdotes that support their theories. Any facts or discoveries that come up that might refute any part of a reglious theory is immediately discounted or explained away.
It is the fact that science is necessarity unbiased while theology is necessarity biased that causes the two areas to be overrun with disagreements. Logical people will conclude that unbiassed research is more believable than unwavering but unprovable faith.

I don't believe that Science does "step out" into theology..
Science often answers a question that has already been explained in a theological manner but that certainly cannot be considered encroachment by science...Sometimes it is an archaeological find that supports Bible history and sometimes it is a scientific explanation for something which runs counter to the Biblical explanation ( Evolution / Paleontology ) but it is seldom a result of Science deliberately trying to prove or disprove religious explanations for anything..

you got a mouse in your pocket? we don't.
Science, is a study based on results of a controlled environment
theology is faith based. why is an apple different than an orange.
in the end, will science or theology matter? by science the answer is, who cares. theology offers an alternative, maybe there is more to life than I can understand or explain.

Even proven facts have to be retraced when some more experiments are conducted by later day scientists. When someone says PV=RT, a Vanderwall says you have to add a constant (a+b) to this, to be correct at a later date for the gas constant equation. Science has not reached the ultmimate level to make fun of certain beliefs. their exploration of space should continue to question in theology with more authority.

Like what? If it is a scientific question then theology has no authority, if it is theology then why are you taking what the scientist saying as a fact?

it is stereotyping atheists. We dont trample faith, we disagree with it. We dont have immoral habit, people say we benefit this atheism might want to be wiped out. Atheists honestly dedicate a lot less crimes than those who keep on with faith, take a seem at Iraq! technology isnt a concept, its a huge set of knowledge. i'm no longer particular in case you want or dislike atheists in accordance with this. in any case the surely way it may look more desirable eye-catching might want to be if there have been no stereotypes and anti-atheistic religions.

The "WE" in your question are confused souls. Believers in Jesus do not give science authority over their faith. Faith deals with your personal relationship with the Lord. Faith, means you simply believe and trust the WORD of GOD. No room for debate, that's it! The WORD of God never changes, never gets updated.
In these last days, the enemey is working over time, destroying families, because family = love. The evil one chips at our faith as much as he can, because a lack of faith, even for a short time stops our walk toward pardise. And if he can keep us still long enough, and create enough confusion, we may give up, and then guess what, we give the evil one our soul. The good thing is, we can do much with faith as tiny as a mustard seed. We simply have to ask Jesus to help us, believe, trust, and obey.

a fact is something that can be proven.. if there is a fact that is proven by science then it is a fact ,If iti s not proven then it is not a fact.
