If God IS real, can Science afford to ignore Him?

Question

No statements of 'faith', please. Logical Answers Only.
Thank you.

I'm not assuming or asserting anything. I'm just asking.

Answer 1

No, because science keeps coming back to the-where did everything come from factor. We have the big bang-o.k. where did all that gas and rock come from? We are now finding that everything in science is much more perfectly tuned then what was previously thought- so that "by chance" doesn't really cut it anymore. For instance, when you get a cut- three totally different things take p[lace that add in stopping the blood from continuing to flow. You can't just have one-you need all three. For all three to come together by accident takes More faith to believe than ANYTHING about God. There could be no prior species that could have the dominant and recessive jeans for this process because the slightest cut would kill the organism. Truly and intelligent designer stepped in e.g. God

Some scientists have spent their entire careers trying to prove or disprove the existence of god... to no avail...

The problem with this is that the pursuit of science is about things we can see, touch, taste, measure... you get the picture.

Until some sort of physical and undeniable manifestation of said god is observed recorded and tested there is no reason to even consider the possibility that there is one.

What I mean is that until balls starting falling upward or things start defying our proven scientific laws there is no need to question the existence of any power that might or might not be exerting power to make things do this.

There is no real need because the two really have little to do with each other. This is the thing most people cannot seem to grasp. Unlike religion, it doesn't really matter who is doing the testing or the inquiring (atheist or otherwise) because the facts do not lie (true, people do) but for something to be proven in science it must be testable and ABOVE ALL those tests must be independently REPEATABLE, otherwise it is just mad, unprovable, conjecture which falls into a category more like religion than science.

Science for the most part does ignore Him. The science of organic chemistry has showed that both proteins and DNA have chirality in their organization. In the classic experiment of Miller and Urey in 1953 proteins were produced. It has long been thought that this proves that life could have spontaneously produced. But because the chirality of the proteins that formed were ignored the experiment is fatally flawed. When a random chemical reaction is used to prepare molecules having chirality,
there is an equal opportunity to prepare the left-handed isomer as well as the right-handed isomer. It is a scientifically verifiable fact that a random chance can only produce a 50/50 mixture of the two optical isomers. There are no exceptions. To make this as short as possible and simple as possible there in no chance that all the correct chirality is used in the random creation of either proteins or DNA.. If this process was directed by and outside intelligence then that intelligence is our God... My faith directs that that intelligence is Christ Jesus.... Jim

Answer 4

It's not an issue of ignore, it's an issue of othoganol areas of scope. God and issues of God are outside the scientific area of inquiry. Science, by it's nature, only investigates that which is objective, usually repeatable, and, testable.

Evidence of God is none of these.

The only problems between religion and science is when religion starts making statements or predictions which are testable and start failing those tests.

Faith, by it's very nature, isn't something for which there is much, if any, evidence. If there was, then it would cease to be faith.

Though I hold no belief in a god or gods, I see no reason that acceptance of science and a belief in God are mutually exclusive.

What is mutually exclusive is the acceptance of something for which there is no evidence, over something which has considerable evidence.

Answer 5

God is real. I'm a Christian, and I've loved science since I was a little kid. I have one of those brains that likes figuring out puzzles, and searches for answers. Nothing I have seen or read has managed to disprove the existence of God for a very simple reason: It can't. Everything I've read has only pointed towards the existence of God. Without Him, mathematically speaking, we wouldn't even exist. The odds of even one lifeform coming into existence by accident are astronomical. The existence of our lush blue planet full of thousands of different species, at the exact right distance from the sun and other planets, creating the just the perfect gravity for us is so mind-bogglingly improbable that it can only lead a thinking person to one conclusion: This was no accident.

Answer 6

Science has never ignored god . god created science . god is inevery eqaution. The queston you really want to ask is can science prove god. IN some formula. but what you so CLEARLY do not understand is only threw faith and instinct can you begin to observe gods true nature .Im convinced truly enlightened beings exist that live in harmony with some extremly comlex scientifc knowledge and their sense of faith . but i assure you faith and intuition will alwasy be more important then any bit of knowledge . Great question none the less. [e-mail]

Answer 7

The problem here is that science deals with facts. It deals with logic, reason, and inquiry. One form of scientific method shows that things have to be tested, re-tested and then verified independently by the scientific community.

Bringing God into science is hard, because God cannot be prov-en. You can offer evidence, but you cannot test God, nor can you verify his existence.

There are scientists who believe in God, and there are people who believe in both God and scientific theories (Big bang, evolution etc etc) It is possible to mix the two...But for the purpose of scientific investigations and study, God cannot be used as a way to further your case. In the scientific world you cannot come up with a theory and then say the result of the events is because of God, your research and work wouldn't even be looked at.

I agree that, not only God, but moral and ethics have to considered, but the reality is they are not and cannot be. It is sad, but understandable.

Answer 8

Science has not disproved his existence, if so the everything, I mean Everything to the point where we wouldn't be needed scientists anymore, would be proven.

That being said, Most scientists don't ignore God nor try to prove he doesn't exist. They try to figure things out for the better meant of man. in other words, find things to help us like live longer and healthier, travel and communicate better, and so on.

I would like to think the God is the ultimate scientist so much that he can do anything.

Answer 9

Actually many Scientist do not ignore God. Many have developed Medicine from the knowledge that God has given in the Bible. Also, many Archaeologist have found the ruins of cities from information in the Bible. Cities that many believed never existed until they were found. And these Scientist/Archaeologist attribute this to God.

Answer 10

Hi Friend,

No one can one prove the existence of god by science, it is like asking someone to prove death of a person with Pure Mathematics or with pure trigonometry.

Some people ask me to show them god if he is really there, I want to ask those type of people can you show me air even though it exists, yes it sounds crazy one cannot see air because of its physical and chemical properties and one can prove the existence of air by some experiments.

Similarly, God cannot be seen as you like but he can be felt, experienced by having infinite faith and devotion not by stupid logics.
God is certain but not science, science is not consistent in its history whether it is astronomy or in its nuclear physics.

Spirituality is one dimension and Science is another dimension. God has given us brain to use science to make our lives better but not for these stupid questions on existence of God.
