Ha ha ha....

Oh I agree completely and it only stands to reason that this is the way things are....

Science does not waste its time on nonsense or fantasy while faith would only look foolish if it tried to say that science was not a reality.

However, faith is surely a reality. It certainly exists...in fact, it's one of the goofiest of mankind's erroneous ways of thinking.

Religions are in a tight spot when it comes to reality and it will be the truth of reality which will be their downfall before long. The faithful will be more than a laughing stock if they to attempt to bury their heads in the sand much longer, making their silly feudal efforts to cling to their head-in-the-clouds beliefs.... LOL

Disagree
science is the study and measure of tangible things. Note you use the phrase reality of god and faith in god. A lose definition of faith is the belief in or of, an unknown quantity or non tangible item. To date, god still fits in the unknown quantity or non tangible area. Therefore this is something that cannot be measured. And, dose not fit into what science perceives to be reality. Science dose not ignore anything that can be measured or studied and until a time in which it can be it will have to wait. As far as your first statement refer to the difinition above. Faith and reality do not coexist. Reality is something that can be found by the bodys five sense's whereas faith only exsit in the mind. A person belives in science because it is a tangible item

I disagree with both and here is why.

Basing your beliefs on faith says that you don't care about systematic observation, evidence and proof, which are the things that science is based on. To base beliefs on faith is to ignore the scientific method.

Science does not ignore the reality of God because the existence of God is not a reality. It is an unprovable assumption. Science must ignore peoples' faith in such an assumption if it is go about its business of finding what is real and true using observation, evidence and tests. Just saying something is so doesn't make it so.

quickly...i disagree.

I personally agree...to some extent. I consider myself a religious person and a scientist too.

pAnyways..science tries to prove things with just facts....... Use waht is here and see if ti makes sense.

I personally think in most cases it does. Can prove most of science without the existence of god. I bet what you can't..will eventually be proven.

Now....i think you can be religious and say god created science....So your first statment is plausible.....but most religious people pick and chose. So this is where i disagree.

If you follow the abrahamic faiths and believe adam and eve were the first humans....there is no problem with that. Evolution though is then what people freak out on. Maybe god did evolution and adam and eve were the first homosapiens....the beings before could've been soleless like bacteria....and then the homosapiens were given a sole......maybe it didnt' happen at all.

We have prooof of the ancestors to modern man. Maybe god made some sort of evolutionary chain and edned it. Then put adam and eve on the earth... we turely will never know.

Most reliigou speople refuse to believe evolution is even a possibility. This is one example...but there are other examples out there....which makes the cliam fall apart.

Your original statment is almost a mathematical statment........with that it has to be 100% true... 99.9% of the time makes the statment invalid.

Hope this makes sense....

I disagree with the first part, and agree with the second part.

Faith is defined as the will to believe without evidence. Some even say faith is the will to believe in spite of the evidence contrary to that belief. So in effect, faith does indeed ignore reality.

Science is all about evidence. God and faith have no evidence. Hence science does indeed ignore god and faith.

any book to claim that it is a Revelation from Almighty God, it should stand the test of time.

Previously in the olden days, it was the age of miracles - Alhamdulillah, the Qur’an is the miracle of miracles.

Later on came the age of literature and poetry, and Muslims and Non Muslims alike, they claim the Glorious Qur’an to be the best Arabic literature available on the face of the Earth.

But today is the age of science and technology. Read Holy Qur’an and let analyze by your ownselves whether the Qur’an is compatible or incompatible with modern science.

Albert Einstein said… ‘Science without Religion is lame, and Religion without Science is blind’. Let me remind you that although the Glorious Qur’an is not a book of Science…S-C-I-E-N-C-E, It is a book of signs S-I-G-N-S…

There are 6666 Ayats (Arabic word) which means signs … Ayats in the Glorious Qur’an out of which more than a thousand speak about science.

I am not speaking about scientific hypothesis and theories, which are based on assumption without any proof, because we all know many times science takes U-turns.

there are two types of approaches, one is a concordance approach - which means a person tries to bring compatibility between the Scripture and science

and the other is the conflict approach, in which a person tries to bring a conflict between Scripture and science, like how Dr. William Campbell has done very well in his book and many other fanatic Christian, jews, hindus professors/orientlist did as well, those critics intentionally twisted the meaning of Qur’an, mischievously do wrong interpretation of Qur’an and spreading misconceptions about Islam among the innocent people.


If there are some misconceptions bear in your mind it doesn’t mean that Qur’an is wrong as many non Muslims misguided by their critics/orientlists.

If you are a logical and intelligent person then u must think and use your own brain and try to find out the truth.

It is very interesting attitude that exists in the Qur'an repeatedly deals with its advice to the reader. The Allah (swt) informs the reader about different facts and then gives the advice: "If you want to know more about this or that, or if you doubt what is said, then you should ask those who have knowledge." This too is a surprising attitude.

It is not usual to have a book that comes from someone without training in geography, botany, biology, embryology etc., who discusses these subjects and then advises the reader to ask men of knowledge if he doubts anything.

as far as the Qur’an is concerned, irrespective whether a person uses a conflicting approach, or a concordance approach – As long as you are logical, and after a logical explanation is given, not a single person will be able to prove a single Verse of the Qur’an in conflict with established modern science.

For example the Astronomers, a few decades earlier, they described, how the universe came into existence - They call it the ‘Big Bang’.

And they said… ‘Initially there was one primary nebula, which later on it separated with a Big Bang, which gave rise to Galaxies, Stars, Sun and the Earth, we live in.’

This information is given in a nutshell in the Glorious Qur’an, in Surah Ambiya, Ch. 21, Verse No. 30, which says “Do not the unbelievers see… ‘That the heavens and the earth were joined together, and we clove them asunder.’

Imagine this information which we came to know recently, the Qur’an mentions 14 hundred years ago.

Faith ignores lots of reality of science, that's why we are so slow these days discovering things. A God is not reality, faith in a god is a delusion.

Faith absolutely and by definition ignores lots of realities (including science)

Science has no use for faith.

2007-02-01 00:58:19 · answer #8 · answered by mullah robertson 4 · 2 1

Agree. Partially.

I think that some faiths and/or individual practitioners accept science as the best tool for understanding the natural world around us, and accept that the scientific process is both valuable and necessary.

I also think that science, by its very nature, is limited to that which can be physically observed, assessed and tested. This does not (at least at this point) intersect very well with the subjective, internal, emotional landscape of religion. That said, there are certainly scientists who are also people of faith.

No I don't agree. I see where many Christians ignore science. And I see many scientist are Christians. So it goes both ways. Did you know they are coming out with this crazy thing call gravity now. You betcha that's going to set the world on edge when it takes hold.
