Science is defined as “the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.” Science is a method that mankind can use to gain a greater understanding of the natural universe. It is a search for knowledge through observation and guesswork. Advances in science demonstrate the reach of human logic and imagination. However, a Christian’s belief in science should never be like our belief in God. A Christian can have faith in God and respect for science, as long as we remember which is perfect, and which is not.
Do you agree.

I agree with your comments. If we remember which is pseudo-science and which is not. Too many in the science world are insistent upon elevation of theory to fact. Too many people attempt to replace God with science. Too many people place their faith entirely in the hands of men, whom are faulty and corrupt. Too few people put their faith entirely in the One perfect God, whom is without fault.
It's o.k. to explore and search for the meaning of life..."how stuff works," how to make the world a better place, etc., but in doing so it we often overlook the truth that is right before our very eyes. That truth is the fact that God does exist. He is the Creator. He is the answer to all questions.

No I don't agree and I will tell you why.
God created the earth.
Science is the study of the natural world, which again, God made.
Therefore isn't science to the believer, just a study of God's creation?? Should it then be feared if scientists prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that.....let's say, evolution (to choose an extreme) is 100% completely accurate?
Not really. What whould then be the conclusion of the believer? God created the earth and allowed it to change over time. Is that really that scary?
And besides, if you do some history on the writing in Genesis, it was never meant to explain HOW God created the earth, but to reveal WHO did it and WHY. Doesn't get any simpler.
Don't fear science, because whether they are believers or not, scientists are studying God's work like it or not.
But yes by the way, the creation in its current state is imperfect, so in part I agree. :)

Belief in God involve the spiritual or the supernatural realm. Science is concerned and is only able to cope with natural realm. Since the two realms are not the same the Christian is comfortable to embrace both realms knowing when the application of science ends and that of the spiritual begins. The Christian knows based on the word of God that natural is created out of the spiritual and the latter is more superior to the former. Christians are therefore comfortable with his knowledge of God and science and recognises the futility of science attempting to prove that God does not exist..

Eventually science leads to Christianity or Christianity leads to science. Some great science data happened because a person read the Bible, found a verse interesting and studied it. Eventually science leads back to Christianity in that there is still a big bang theory trying to explain how the universe got started so I don't think they conflict.

i imagine that each and everything you're saying would make experience if really the first actual project you probably did wasn't to easily assume that the bible is data of god. construction an entire argument in this assumption means you eventually end up incorrect. you're saying that there is clearly data for god and the bible, yet I fail to ascertain that data. the really "data" i have ever heard from theists is that we do not understand some issues. They take this not understanding as evidence of god, even as all that's is the absence of evidence of a few thing else. and that i have never heard a theist then connect those bits of lack of understand-how about the universe to the will that their god is the right one. base line is the medical technique unavoidably tells us that faith and technology are incompatible on a basic factor. the second one step of the medical technique is posing a hypothesis in accordance with a question you've. the subsequent steps contain sorting out that hypothesis. The hypothesis isn't time-honored as truth till it is been examined and the try replicated. No such medical rigor has been utilized to faith. religious human beings only arise with a hypothesis (honestly, religious human beings thousands of years in the past got here up with it utilizing their extremely constrained understanding of the global), settle for it as authentic, and then bypass and attempt to discover techniques they could educate that that's authentic. excellent-down reasoning. can't abide through that.

no i am not agree with you.... for Muslims the Belief in science dont have any confilict, it makes the belief more strong...
Many people like to claim that science and religion are so different that they can't conflict -- there are the affairs of science on the one hand, telling us the facts about how the physical universe operates, while religion on the other tells us what science cannot, the answer to the question "why." The "brute facts" of science still require religion and its notion of God to provide the ultimate answer and to explain the meaning behind existence. Science's story may seem to answer "why" questions, but it always does so with another set of material facts in a chain of causation that may tell us "how," but still leaves unanswered the question "why."
come and believe in islam, to know more answers

only if you are an uneducated homeschooled christian or muslim who never learned any science in school. Science explains the how, what and where of life, God explains the why. My 5 year old grandson explained it perfectly while watching a magic show on TV. He said "Nanny, only God is really magic, right?" when I asked him why he thought that he said "because only God can make a real flower pretty!"

I agree. Science is fact. Therefore, to believe in God there must be a way to reconcile the two.
