What is the most important difference between religion and science that makes them seem to be in conflict?

Question

Like , for instance, if Religion and Science were two humans, what would their greatest problem in dealing with each other be?

Answer 1

Science is based on fact, which can be proven. Religion is based on faith, which cannot be proven. Science deals with the world the way it is. Religion deals with the world the way some people would like for it to be. The only conflict is that a few people try to use science to disprove religion, and others try to use religion to disprove science. They are not really opposites, but try convincing most religious people of that.

Answer 2

When religion dominated science there was not so much of a conflict. Just kill the scientist that would not conform.
When science broke free of the restrictions of religion this is when this whole conflict started.

Science does not support religion, obviously. Religion is based of of no real evidence. Only theories,feelings and emotions.
Science is based off of fact....
So of course when you have two "people" who think different one will have conflict.

Answer 3

Dangerous to step into this one. If religion and science were two humans their greatest problem in dealing with each other would be that Religion invariably attempts to resort to logic to prove it's correctness while Science resorts to reason and evidence to defeat Religion, except that Religion being supposedly based solely upon faith and belief, can't point to empirical evidence to overcome Science's arguments. That being said their greatest problem in dealing with one another is that they have have no apparent common ground for discussion.

In America today, those who hate religion and rely upon and insist upon rational science based reason to discredit those who are religious people of faith, seek to marginalize the religious out of the political and public arena such that they can proceed to impose upon everyone their own secular humanistic beliefs. It's necessary for the anti-religious to discredit and marginalize the religious because they must substitute their belief system as the only truth such that they can undermine any "Godly" authority and substitute their ideology for it. In this manner, they can then subjugate the population to a set of principles and rule supreme over the population because "they" being the sole arbiters of right and wrong, truth and lie, become the ultimate controlers. This is the typical formula for the institution of totalitarian states with socialist economic models, i.e. National Socialism, (right wing version), or Communism, (left wing version).

Essentially, those of faith and those of science can't really communicate with one another in any meaningful way and as those of faith become an increasing obstacle to the "Science" group they eliminate the religious by destroying their institutions and their ability to influence politics. Thus we will soon see increased efforts to 1) tax church based groups which will undermine their ability to school their children; 2) rendering illegal home schooling; 3) forced closure of religious schools; and 4) rendering the religious incapable of holding certain jobs and positions on "conflict" grounds.

Answer 4

human beings do no longer think of that faith and technology are a similar because of the fact of those motives: faith provides God credit for starting to be each and every thing yet technology tries to verify why issues are the reason this is or to define the reason this is how this is and is in denial of what God has executed. If technology grew to become right into a human it may constantly be going over faith's head attempting to locate solutions and constantly finding & could forget approximately approximately faith yet while faith grew to become right into a human, he'd constantly ingredient to God for doing this or that for him.
