What questions do you ask that the scientific method cannot answer, but religion or faith does answer?

Question

My question refers not to the questions that science is still grappling with, but instead, the questions that supposedly fall outside the purview of science.

What questions do you ask that science can NEVER address?

MEL (3rd answer):
Science has answered these
What is the purpose of life? There is none other than what you create for yourself.

Why do you have a soul? There is no evidence for the existence of a soul.

Why do some have faith and others do not? Faith in general is a defense mechanism against anxiety.

YAZID (6th answer)
What is right, good, and beautiful are subjective judgments, which by nature are defined by the individual human (within their cultural context). In essence, you are suggesting that science define words like a dictionary.

The same request would occur if you asked what is tasty or what is wrong, bad, and ugly?

SOLOMON_REDUX (8th answer):
Why can be answered regarding the purpose we are here (see above for my response) or what caused us being here. Scientists has found many interlaced causes, and they are continuing to search for others.

Mullah_Robertson (9th answer)
While it is impossible to "prove" whether there is a god, science has run into no trouble assuming that there is none. Science functions without an intervening deity mucking up the experiments.

JIM B (answer 23):
I fail to comprehend what sounds dishonest about this question. Can you clarify?

REHCUEGUY (11th answer):
What happens when we die?
Science assumes that, since humans are essentially animals, that whatever happens to animals happens also to humans. Unless you believe that mosquitoes and dung beetles have equivalent spirits (as do some Buddhists and Hindus), then science says that when we die, our life processes cease to function. Period.

I'm unwilling to subjectively choose a "best answer" to this question. Everyone gets a chance to vote.

Answer 1

science can answer everything if you explore and you find it out. what science cannot answer if you imagine things supernatural and then you want the science to prove it, well of course not, because it is not real. so science cannot tell you what please your dreams, but can answer it and say it is just dreams, imaginations and need to go to doctor in some cases.

Answer 2

Science can never address the spiritual nature of man or the cosmic. Science can work hand-in-hand with the Spirit, but it seems reluctant to do so. Evolution denies the spiritual realm, which is why it remains an incomplete philosophy. If Evolutionist would embrace God as a cause and a continuous action, then it could could become a completed philosophy. All science is the result of God in action. Try incorporating God into your scientific studies and you might be amazed at what you learn. In other words, give credit where credit is due.

Answer 3

Faith answers the questions where did I come from. Where am I going. Science can NEVER address those questions because the man-made theories are calculated to take so long (millllllllions of years) that no one has observed it, nor no one can ever observe it because the changes are so miniscule that our life is over before we could ever notice anything. As an example, a scientist will try and match a skull that is found to a larger skull that was found and say that the one skull "evolved" from the other, which is merely and purely speculation, and not even very good speculation at that. It takes alot of faith to believe in something that is never observable in our lifetimes.

Answer 4

So what issues isn't science interested in? I think you have covered yourself very nicely.. There are arms of science that deal with life after death and how life original formed. Are there answers to these questions outside the existence of God NO... But you have made you question so all inclusive that there is no answer.. You seem dishonest in that... Jim

Answer 5

The scientific method cannot prove if the Bible is true.

However, the Historic/Evidence method (Court of Law method, if you will) can. How do you know George Washington was ever president of the United States? By Historic/Evidence proof, not by the scientific method! The scientific method is flawed as follows:

It depends on experiments which are repeatable........but historic events fall outside the realm of repeatable experiments!

Another proof of the truth of the Bible is fulfilled prophecy. The odds of so many prophecies being fulfilled by random chance are minuscule! It simply takes less faith to believe the Bible than not to believe it, when presented with the true facts!

Answer 6

There may be questions that science cannot satisfactorily answer ("what is beauty?", etc). But you set up the theists' typical false dichotomy. It does not follow that such questions are answerable by faith or religion. Religion's track record in answering questions shows that it cedes more and more ground to science and philosophy. Ultimately there are no - NO - questions that only religion can answer.

Faris, your first and third questions have been addressed persuasively by scientists if you would only look. ("Just Six Numbers", "The Golidocks Paradox" - Google them). Your second is speculation by whatever means - neither science nor religion can offer a better answer.

Answer 7

the reply become contained in the toddler's question. If evolution become accurate we doesn't have the weaker species they could't answer this enigma because their info is so skinny as to be clear! It extremely annoys me even as they say we developed slowly. i'm sorry yet even a minute change contained in the human eye might want to render us blind - survival of the fittest certainly! edit: why do not they suspect you requested a scientist?! i comprehend some organic scientists and am a social scientist myself yet i think they could imagine i become mendacity too. Is that because they tell porkies on line and anticipate all of us to be like them?

Answer 8

I asked why am I here.

I ask this question once in a meditation. The answer came clear as a bell.

It said I have placed you here to learn the true meaning of Love. What ever it was that was answering then told me something that really set me back. It said that I felt the way I did about certain people because I did not understand the true meaning of love. I protested and said that I did my best to love all of the people who were deserving of love.

It replied "yes that is your misunderstanding. You see love as something that you dole out in tiny little portions here and there to people who you have judged to be worthy of it. This is not love at all, it is only judgment". This stopped me dead in my tracks. I suddenly realized that what it was saying to me was true. This realization brought me to tears. It went
on and told me, "You treat love as though there is some shortage of it. It is not something that you can run out of. The more love that you give, the more love that there is in the world. Its that simple. The only way that there can be a shortage of it is if you hoard it and keep it to yourself."

It went on to explain, that "this is what Jesus was trying to tell you when he asked you to turn the other cheek, to judge not and to love your neighbor. He made no exceptions in these things that he requested of you. Why are you making exceptions, and judging some as worthy of love and others as not? Jesus fully intended for you to apply this love that you are to all, in a universal manner without any judgment of any sort". By this time the tears Were flowing freely. I was crying because for the first time in my life I Understood what the message Jesus left for us in the bible actually meant.

This has become my truth. I can't say what yours is for sure, but I have a feeling that it is probably similar.

Love and blessings

Answer 9

When Christ will return
How He was transfigured
How people who receive the Holy Spirit can suddenly speak in tongues

May God Bless You

Answer 10

Nothing is beyond the purview of science, not even the supernatural. There is a science to everything, whether it is understanding how the brain works or exploring the psychological definitions of "delusion", "hallucination", and "conditioned response".

Answer 11

science is limited to the natural things surrounding us. The things of faith and religion are in the supernatural outside of the scope of sciene. So the two cancel out each other or they accept they are not in the same class. So there is no questions I would ask science to clarify religion for me.
