Religion and Science both are two sides of coin?

Question

Without Religion can science exit? Science is a outer invention..Where Religion is a inner invention.

Answer 1

It think you have got it right. The idea that science and religion are polar opposites is silly. I believe they can co-exist nicely.

Answer 2

Without religion, can science exist? Sure. Why not? I think that there is a spot in our brains for science and another for religions. An acutal physical location for both (and recent neurologic studies bear me out on that one). I think that science has tended to push religion into a place where faith is necessary. Faith is belief without proof. Science seeks proof through expirimentation. I don't think you needed faith prior to the Age of Reason. Science pushed religion into such a place where the only fallback position was faith. Before that, Religion was science, because there were no other explanations for the world. So, perhaps without science, religion would not require faith. But science can assume that God doesn't exist and move on without Him or religion. Religion can go ahead and explain things without the need for science. So neither needs the other. But science has had an effect on religion (and history shows us that Religion has had an affect on science).

Are they two sides of the same coin? I don't get the metaphor. As I said, I believe that there is a religios part of the brain and a scientific or rational part. The parts are separate. Sometimes religion uses the rational side of the grain for things. Perhaps the scientific part of the brain uses the religious neurons for some tasks. Perhaps one could say that each is a different way to explain the world. But science explains the what and the how and Religion tells us the why and who. I don't think they compliment each other in quite the way your question suggests they do.

Answer 3

The relationship between religion and science takes many forms as the two fields are both extremely broad. They employ different methods and address different questions. The scientific method relies on an objective approach to measure, calculate, and describe the natural/physical/material universe. Religious methods are more subjective (or intersubjective in community), relying on varying notions of authority, ideas believed to have been revealed, intuition, belief in the supernatural, individual experience, "reasoned" (in a dogmatic sense) observations about life or the universe or a combination of these to understand the universe. Science attempts to answer the "how" and "what" questions of observable and verifiable phenomena; religion attempts to answer the "why" questions of value, morals and spirituality. However, some science also attempts to explain such "why" questions, and some religious authority also extends to "how" and "what" questions regarding the natural world, creating the potential for conflict.

Answer 4

Religions are invented(by man) to streamline our way of life.
So a perfect life styled Scientist who believes in no religion can still come out wit good contribution in the field he had chosen.That is a perfect possibility.Isn't?
So Science can exist even without Religion.Religion can only offer better results when mend with Science.But not a must.......

Answer 5

Religion is the product of Human being whereas science is one of the organ of nature and perpetual. Religion divide the community but science is knowingly or unknowingly serve universe not earth,sun or any planet but whole cosmic. Without science nature can not be activate.

Answer 6

Science is the part of religion dear. By understanding the religion you can understand science. science exits even if you are related to no religion.. but still it is a part of it whether you have the knowledge or not.

Answer 7

I don't think they are related at all. Religion believes it has the right answer and questioning it is a sin. Science believes it has the wrong answers but the right questions and that questioning is an imperative. The difference is both deep and fundamentally different.

Answer 8

Yea of course. Science explains the world around us using logic and reasoning. Religion explains the world using "mythical" beings that created everything from the dirt to animals. Science isnt made to disprove religion necessarily, but it is fact. I cant prove that God created fish and and man and the world, but i can prove, with science, that a gas will expand when heated, and that light travels in waves.

Answer 9

Religion is moral/social code of conduct aimed at creating experience in the realms of consciousness.
Science is observations/classification of varifyable phenomena.
Religion leads to spirituality, which is in NON MATTERIAL DOMAIN and is always UNIQUE for each individaul, where as science goes for varifyble generalization...

Are they just the different sides of the same coin?

I think spirituality starts where science ends.

The greatest scientist albert ainstine stated at the end of his scientific journy that i know as little as speck of dust on this vast beach...He also respected greatness of non violence principal as propounded by mahatma gandhi...

Science should not as it can never explain consciousness...
Religion is the path that helps evolving consciousness...

Answer 10

Religion provides people with the answers Science hasn't found yet.

However, I don't believe they're the two sides of the same coin; and the fact that Science hasn't found all the answers yet, doesn't mean that it won't do it sooner or later;)

Answer 11

technology is only fascinated by looking tactics to make sturdy predictions concerning the organic international. There are questions that technology would not (yet) have a means of drawing close, such as "why is there a universe?" Scientists (the stable ones, besides) understand that it would not enhance technology to make claims that may not have the ability to be examined, so as that they bypass away such inquiries to Philosophers. Philosophy & faith tries to respond to a number of those questions. yet all such solutions are in uncomplicated terms speculative if their claims won't have the ability to be examined. while faith makes particular claims (e.g. the Hebrew Bible is particularly real) that contradict everyday awareness concerning the real international then faith isn't any longer part of the the "comparable coin".
