Science and religion should stay out of each other ways?

Question

Well, religious folks comment that we should not speak about their beliefs since we are ignorant of them.

If so, shouldn't they stay out scientific topics like evolution or the Big Bang since they are equally ignorant of them due to the misconceptions they developed from their religion?

Answer 1

Well, that does sound fair. Heck, I'd be happy if the just quit trying to pass off beliefs as facts.

“To believe in something is not the same as knowing something. Intrinsic to the concept of belief is (the) implication that there is an opposite to belief, disbelief. Not everyone will believe something is true, but all sane and rational people will acknowledge an observable fact.

The only way belief can be experienced is in the mind. Facts can be experienced both in the mind and by the senses...and what is more, unlike a mental hallucination, the sensory experience can be shared with others.

It is a common error of human beings to allow belief, to allow a mental construct accepted on faith, to become so important, so obsessive, that it is taken as the same thing as fact. Indeed, there are many emotional reasons why a person might be driven to do this, but it still remains that any belief is purely mental whatever it's origin, and the mind can be mistaken.

This means that all beliefs have as part of them an implied doubt. Facts cannot be doubted, they are observably real.

When belief is assumed to be fact, when this mistake is made by a mind clouded by a motivation to assume belief as fact, that belief is considered beyond doubt, just as is a fact.

Beliefs beyond doubt are inherently dangerous. They are dangerous because they are often acted upon as though they were facts, and the inherent weakness of this is that a belief is not a fact.

Beliefs can be, and often are, wrong.” (Jennifer Diane Reitz)

In holy Koran, after it extremely is all pronounced and executed, the thank you to be a stable female/Boy, it extremely is asserted "circulate forward and advance with time and documents" ?! by utilising saying that when giving the human each and all of the kit to stay extra suitable,for that element, very humbly recognizes the prevalence of recent technological expertise, advising to stick to it . With all due respects, would not that make each element else only for entertainment ?! I continually ask your self why extra human beings do no longer see this? Or i'm the only misreading it? My ultimate Regards.

Answer 3

I believe that science and religion are intertwined much more than people think. I believe that the very basics of science- atoms, neutrons, plasmas, elements, energies- even mathematics are all miracles of God. Everything is in a pattern and there is a cure for every disease (although some are yet to be discovered) thanks to God.

Answer 4

no - knowledge should not be stifled no matter what.

As for me, I find I know far more about religion than 95 percent of the people who call me a moron - I've done it by not limiting myself to what I can study or what I'm allowed to believe.I think many very religious people learn only select bits that make them feel good and they sacrifice so much knowledge.

Answer 5

That would be a simplistic understanding of both. Because science has profound moral, philisophical, and ethical implications it can never be seperated from the metaphysical. The two simply cannot be mutually exclusive I am afraid.

Answer 6

First of all there is nothing scientific about the big bang and evolution, they are just as religious as God is, (except micro-evolution otherwise known as variation) Stellar evolution, planetary evolution, macro evolution... are all religious. There is no evidence for it, so don't be lumping yourself in with "science" when you have no "science" (repeatable demonstratable evidence) when there is none.

Answer 7

I have always used science to help prove religion and religion to help prove science.
To find truth you have to have other sources to contradict or confirm your idea's or you won't learn the truth.
A one sided person will forever remain a fool.

Answer 8

I don't think science and religion are seperable. I think they complement each other and since I don't really mind ya'll non-religious people having an opinion, I guess I'm free to have one too. lol

I think it's REALLY funny when people ask rhetorical questions on this forum.

Answer 9

I try to see Science and Religion as things that are different or at least non contradictory.


but you will always find people trying to create controversy when none is needed.

Answer 10

But what if scientific fact proves religion?
