Do you think the two arguments science and religion can ever be compatible?

Answer 1

Yes. If some religions looked past the "it is our way or it is wrong", then they could definitely see that science, may in the course of its experimentation, prove a lot of the biblical theories (I use the bible as it is the religious book I am most familiar with). As a matter of fact, quantum physics is showing a lot of what Jesus said is true. He said things like "I did not heal you, your faith did" Quantum physics is showing belief makes reality.

Answer 2

The argument between science(truth)and religion (belief) comes about because of the inherited corruption of the original reported message and the interpretation of events that happened long ago

The way that I understand religion is that most people need guidance in spiritual matters and that religious institutions become corrupt over time and loose the plot resulting in splinter groups and conflict.

Every new religion builds new institutions that help to reunite the splinters of all previous religions and introduces the next installment of Gods plan (the universe unfolding....) which usually means a change in the social laws to fit the age - such as equal status for men and women - one world government (unity in diversity) and so on.

All religions become corrupt over time so u end up with a body of belief that is nonsensical. However there is always a new religion on the rise - not Islam – Bahai. The beauty of a new religion is that it unites people and that is what the world needs right now

Answer 3

Good question!
The scientific mind demands objectivity.
The religious mind is subjective.
Yet both are born of one mind.
A large area of science is corrupted, by governements and others.
Therefore cannot maintain the discipline of objectivity and becomes very dangerous.
Religion is corrupted also by division and interpretations.
The result of which is the willingness to kill another for a belief.
Yet most religions speak of not killing.
If religion was lived and not just spoken about it may have some meaning to humanity.
So to answer your question as both stand at present no.
But it would be desirable.
There is a point of perception in quantum physics where the objective and the subjective are one and the same.
As is the mind which has science and religion as parts of its nature.

Answer 4

Absolutely.
Religion and science are not mutually exclusive by any means. In fact you can argue that science is proof of religion. Every new scientific discovery shows that there is order to the universe. Everything follows certain rules. One can say that those rules are proof that the universe was designed. Order can't be borne of total chaos, so something made the rules.

Answer 5

Only if you accept that Science should be based on the accepted scientic method based upon empirical evidence and that Religion is allegorical and open to interpretation.

Scientists are more likely to take the "hypothesis" of religion and explore it.

God-botherers are more likely to condemn you to eternal hellfire for having the hubris to doubt the word of (their) lord.

Religionists are absolutists.

Scientists see the world through the "mental prism" of "this is our current understanding and is the best we have to work with at the moment, but we don't know everything and will keep asking questions"

Answer 6

At maximum suitable, religions furnish testable hypotheses. those could be scientifically clever, and a few can be real. Claims which could no longer be examined are many times ineffective besides, because they do no longer help clarify something. This declare approximately "why" and "how" is basically fake. Religions virtually never furnish any sparkling assertion approximately why issues are one way and not yet another. working example, provided that an all-useful being could create a universe with any characteristics, why can we've those we've? no longer confusing to work out that creationism does not clarify something in any respect.

Answer 7

Science is science. Religion is religion. Two people arguing over the price of fish will never agree.

Answer 8

Yes. In fact, if you take a look at the history of science then you'll see that most scientists were religious and, apart from the nonsense between Galileo and the Catholic Church, and modern day American evangelicals and teaching Darwin's theory of evolution in schools, most religions have supported scientific inquiry and natural philosophy.

Answer 9

Yes they can. Check out the book "The Tao of Physics" by Fritjof capra. It is a bit intense but basically it looks at the simalarities between modern science and eastern mysticism. At the time it was groundbreaking and even today is dismissed by many scientists but once you get into it you can kinda see where the author is coming from.

Answer 10

Yes, Science explains the how, Religion explains the why.

Many scientists have come to faith when they realised that the universe is too structured and well designed to be the result of mere chance.

I believe that God created the universe and the scientific laws that govern it, and guided the universe to its present state and still influences everything in this universe.
