This is what I am thinking. We had the big bang and our planet was created. Then life started with little bugs and parasites. Then we evolved to the intelligent beings we are today. People saw all the planets in the sky at night and the sun during the day and created this thing that the sun was god and created it all and to keep the people in line and not to be bad so they would fear something. and it just grew and grew until we had all this messed up religion that is meaningless.

Science. Before man could even think in the abstract term of 'gods' or 'heaven' he was able to discover things about his world. He came to conclusions about the world based on a very rudimentary application of science. Hunting techniques, camp building, how to find water, how to find food, how to taste foods to see if they were poisonous, all of these things were achieved through the application of scientific principle, even if early man didn't know he was doing it.

Some of the answers - in fact, most of the answers are very religously based. Just think or even imagine that there is no God. Why does there need to be a God? Why should humans abdicate repsonsibility for their actions to a fictional character? Isn't it just an irrational belief system like fairies or goblins or tooth fairies. Therefore, science is the answer to the question. If it is not the answer, then why wasn't the question "What came first? The Tooth Fairy or Science?". Theists take delight in indicating that Science does not explain the why but it does explain the how. Religion dosen't explain the how and it makes up the why.

The concept of god came before science. Note, this is not the same as saying god came first, as the latter implies the existence of god. Ancient people tended to credit god with anything they couldn't understand.

God is a concept, science is a tool. People created gods first to explain things they didn't understand. Science was developed later to help answer all those questions based on experience, evidence, and experimentation.

God seems to be very scientific, so I guess He created everything based on His knowledge;) Maybe then science is a part of God.

God created the universe first.
Science is a system for examining and explaining the universe that God created.
Therefore, science came after.

God created science.
Have you studied the historical "thinkings" of people say a thousand years ago? Was that science, or just really kooky thinking? Anyway God created everything including our ability to study the world (s) around us.

Science is the laws and the process. God is the developer and the initiator. Science has many laws and rules as to how things occur, God developed the rules. The two, as Issac Newton for one, was well aware, go hand in hand.

The basic belief of God has existed for centuries. However, that does not prove that it is better than science. We can prove science, but we're still grappling to define "God" in a universal sense, and the theory of a divine being still has not been proven to exist.

Genesis 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
Science is one of man's systematic ways of gaining knowledge; all the facts and laws that have been derived from science are assumed to be repeatable by testing a hypothesis against a control in a experiment done over and over until the same conclusions are drawn from the same stimuli each time.
Use science to ask yourself if this is true in your life....
John 8:34
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Do you see the pattern of slavery that surrounds the sins that you do....I see the pattern in mine....
