Is Buddhism the only religion that accepts Science? What are some others?

Answer 1

Add Paganism to that list :)

Answer 2

Christianity, at least the Catholic Church is not opposed to science. You just have to remember that everything that science tells us in not necessarily true. Scientific views change from time to time. That is because unfortunately many scientists today can't say that they don't know. If they say that they don't know, another scientist will give his view. Eventually, consensus determines "science".

Science is supposed to be the search for truth. How much truth is there in science that vacillates? At the risk of repeating myself, if it is not a product of the Scientific Method, it is not science.

Phrenology (determining a persons character and abilities by the bumps on their head) was once considered science. Eugenics (specialized breeding to develop racially superior people) was science. You don't hear much about them anymore.

Science is the search for truth. True religion is not in conflict with the truth. But sometimes, science is.

Answer 3

Most moderate Christian religions accept science. Only the fundamentalists wish to deny the obvious.

Obviously Taoism, Buddhism, much Hinduism, Wiccan/Paganism, Shito, Satanism, Jainism, moderate Judaism, moderate Islam, and Ba'Hai.

Answer 4

I think that most religions accept science.

I think that the reason that Christianity and western science seem to have so many fights over certain things is that historically both philosophies "grew up" together in the same neighborhood (the West), so many western scientists have felt that they need to prove that their "rival" philosophy of religion spread by Christian priests is false, and vice versa, in order to gain fame & influence (Charles Darwin, for example, volunteered the fact that that his theory was developed by him specifically in order to give people a reasonable alternative theory for the origin of life without having to believe in Genesis, thereby creating a challenge to the Christian church right out of the gate; he didn't really have to say that in order to get his theory published.).

No scientist that I know of has ever felt it worthwhile to try to attack the beliefs of Buddhism, probably because it was historically a minority belief with few followers among western scientists, so Budhism and science co-exist peacefully (for now). Maybe not for long, however....

Answer 5

Catholicism I know for sure. I believe almost all religions have seen the need for furthering scientific discoveries, so I hope none are against science. Perhaps some backwoods Baptists (sorry for the generalization, I am just trying to paint a picture) do not believe that science is important in this day and age.

Answer 6
