I am not implying anything ...however, many like to play Science and Religion against one another.

No, because science affirms biblical creation. www.reasons.org

Sure, if I knew nothing, then I would be more apt to accept the idea that what I beleive is the absolute only truth in the world.
Why? Well, thats easy. Because, having no knowledge in science, I would likely be....not too bright, for PC purposes (lest I insult someone). As a result of being none too bright, I would more easily accept nonsensical ideas, rhetorical dogma without question, and the life of a slave of the mind.
But, fortunately, Im educated in science and religion - so Ive armed myself against the mind virus.

I knew nothing about science as a small child and I highly doubted what I had heard about the Bible and God. I believed other crazy sounding stories but that one was a little hard for me to accept. I actually had more belief in ghosts/paranormal than in God.
If my family had continuously pounded the stories into my head and kept me away from all outside influences and anything relating to science, then I'm sure I would have ended up believing in God. I'm not saying that the only way people can believe is through brainwashing but I feel that's all that would have worked with me.

Absolutely Not. Why because I already know the truth. Although knowing science helps as a means of disproving the unbelievers. What is amazing is how atheist use science whenever science actually disagrees with it.

If I didn't know about science I would be more superstitious, therefore more inclined to believe in supernatural beings. Take the domestic cat for example. It's eyes shine yellow or red at night. The ancient Egyptians believed this was a sign of its divinity: the Sun God showing itself at night. To Medieval man, these glowing eyes were a sign of evil, Satan's creature out doing their nightly evil. To someone who understands science, the cat is just an animal magnificently equipped to hunt at dusk and dawn, their reflective eyes a product of cones, rods and light refractions, not gods or demons.

Ha I don't really know anything about science. But I'm exaggerating a tad. I'd like to know more though I just want to be able to see for myself the truth and not just have someone tell me what the truth is.

When people did know nothing about science religion was the be all and the end all-now science has challenged and destroyed many religious doctrines Christianity has gone down the plughole.

You are implying that there is a disagreement of some sort between Science and Religion.

hmm thats a good question, and im going to say maybe....because i do believe in both evolution and God. i believe that God set things up for evolution....so what i am tying to say is that if i knew nothing of science i would still think the same because i can see things changing around me everyday

science helps to validate my beliefs. Like everything it has its good and bad. I am a believer and it would take much more than science to disprove God

I think it would make my faith weaker. Much of my belief system has come from seriously thinking about things that others have asked me in the name of science or logic. Religion is faith-based, but that doesn't mean it should be based on blind faith.
