how does science threatens religion?

Answer 1

Science does not threaten religion, although some religious people perceive it that way.

Answer 2

Religion is all about the fear of the unknown being used to manipulate superstitious people. Science is about exploring the unknown and that is dangerous for religion. As the unknown becomes known the fears go away. Without fear as a control religions lose power and wealth.
Religion is a threat to your country though. By fighting scientific exploration and discovery religion retards the development of advanced technologies. This makes your country weaker economically and weaker militarily.
China is three times the size of the USA. China has more young gifted students in sciences and maths than the USA has students total. Just look around an advanced campus and notice the number of students you are educating from India and China. Yes you give tax support to advanced research but it is done by Foreign students who take what they learn home and use it to compete with you. Take a look at your international test scores. Your University students are not so bad but unless it is elite students they do poorly against Europe and Asia. In one year China will have a larger Internet than the USA, India is not far behind. Notice that they are not wasting much time on Dr. Dino or worries over stem cell research. The vaccine for bird flue came from China. USA still has no version of it.
Religion is going to destroy your country, you better get praying.

It is not science threatening religion. It is religion threatening all of us.

Answer 3

Jeff H had the right idea- the soul or spirit is everywhere- and energy is a law just like gravity- the law of attraction transends and supports all religion- the only thing threatening religion is those who think their way is the only way- Science has proven and supported religion many times-

Answer 4

Some centuries ago science was threat to religion as much as today some truths are threat to the ruling government (or some questions are threat to the community)... It was sensitive to question the political power of the church.

Today the church plays it's rhole in society on a different level. In USA, for example, where scientists search effective ways to manipulate masses, there is a slight new leaning toward religion and it's "way," due to the global political circumstances. Critical unity of masses confronted to some threat, may be achieved through religion.

Science also recognizes the importance of religion in dealing with sects. Individuals get cured of sect influence when reaching for the "way" of the church.

The biggest scientiffic threat to the church today, is still truth against it's power. God forgive the devils of Vatican if someone uncovers the secret documents involving it's rhole in WW2.

Answer 5

Well, speaking not as a Christian, but as a Hellenic Polytheist, I would say that your bet about religions vanishing that quickly if children did not have religious teaching in their schools is not a bet I would take. I would feel like I was stealing your money. Intelligence, Scientific Discovery and Freedom of Thought were highly valued in many Pagan societies (such as the Greeks before they were converted by force) so I find your arguement about "religion" specious -- especially as you seem to be unable to differentiate Christianity from all the other religions for the purposes of your diatribe insulting the intellect of religious believers.

Answer 6

It Doesn`t !! Science will only threaten Religion when science can create DNA , and when science can make matter out of nothing , and when science can make a protein molecule out of anything other than another protein molecule , and when science can explain where knowledge originated from , as knowledge cannot create itself from nothing , and when science can create order out of disorder , and when science can create a soul ??? Looks like there is no threat now or ever from science ...

Answer 7

It doesn't. Scientist can agree. Evolutionist and creationist. In the middle of those two is faithful-or those how have faith in God. Science to me, shows us how God created everything. All though out history science has proven science wrong with science. The air plane, T.V, computers, nuclear energy and weapons, etc. Until science created these things science said it couldn't be done. So why assume that science has all the answers now?

Answer 8

hann: True Science and true "religion" are not in opposition of one another - but complement each other ! When either of them present false or faulty premises - they clash ! For example; if I were to state, Science says honey bees are bees and religion states that bumble bees are bees we can correctly conclude, that we have a "truism" . If Science says honey bees are bees, and religion says yellow-jacket wasps are bees - this is not a "truism". When either, violate fact, the truth of the factual truism will not support the false deduction of the other.

JEFF H: You hit the proverbial "nail" directly on the "head" by referencing Einstein. Reading about Einstein, one would conclude, however, presumptuouly, that he were actually, a Christian !

Answer 9

Personally I dont think it does. When science and religion are matching each other it seems like it is a win win situation.

Answer 10

Albert Einstein is probably the best known and most highly revered scientist of the twentieth century, and is associated with major revolutions in our thinking about time, gravity, and the conversion of matter to energy (E=mc2). Although never coming to belief in a personal God, he recognized the impossibility of a non-created universe. The Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: "Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in "Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists." This actually motivated his interest in science, as he once remarked to a young physicist: "I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details." Einstein's famous epithet on the "uncertainty principle" was "God does not play dice" - and to him this was a real statement about a God in whom he believed. A famous saying of his was "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
