Answer 1

Answer 2

LISTEN-- science is simply the way of understanding 'how' things work, not why. That is why so many questions involving science go unanswered and always will be unanswered. Like the creation of earth-- so amazing and mysterious to the scientists, but yet the followers of God know how it happened- God created it. And you can't have nothing from something, and even the most renowned scientist Newton stated 'energy cannot be created or lost'. Or atleast i think it was newton...lol. But anyways, if the scientists think energy can't be created or lost, then how do they explain the creation of everything? they can't-- because the ones that can't explain it do not believe in God. God is real, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is all real. if you have sin, you have righteousness. That's where God comes in--living in God is the only thing you can do without having an opposite keep you going. Example- photosynthesis is dependent on respiration even though they are complete opposites. Well, everything except God's holy work and belief do this. Because you CAN have God without the devil. You CAN.

Answer 3

I suppose Albert Einstein didn't really understand science then...

"Science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion. To this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith. The situation may be expressed by an image: science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein

"You will hardly find one among the profounder sort of scientific minds without a peculiar religious feeling of his own . . . .His religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection." - Albert Einstein


And just for the statistical info....

"About two-thirds of scientists believe in God, according to a new survey that uncovered stark differences based on the type of research they do. " - LiveScience.com

"In separate work at the University of Chicago, released in June, 76 percent of doctors said they believed in God " - LiveScience.com

Answer 4

Wrong. I am a Christian, studied in the original manuscripts, 35 years now. I have a great respect for the Sciences, and consider them facinating studies. Archeology is one of my favorite reads.
The Bible does not - DOES NOT say that the earth is 6000 years old; in fact, it states that this earth is eons and eons old, and that there was even an entire earth age before this one we live in now. You can read of all the three (3) earth ages in Second Peter.
There is no controversy between the truth of Gods Word and true Science. None at all.
The problem is when you have people on both sides of the argument that are without knowledge. Also, people seem to feel they are bound to either jump onto one bandwagon or the other. It is not necessary to do that.
God says it best: "the destruction of man is his lack of knowledge". God gave us a brain, and He intends for us to use that brain - Studies in any field - Astrology, the origin of the species, whatever it is - is all good in the eyes of God.
What God does not appreciate are those folks who study nothing. They are as useful as a potted plant.

Answer 5

No, if you REALLY understand science, you know just how many mysteries there are and how much you don't know.

I don't see any conflict between science and faith. Science deals with observable facts -- the sensory world. It can neither prove nor disprove the existence of entities (like God) which, by definition, are "not of this world." Thus, being a believer or being an atheist are equally valid positions for a scientist.

Answer 6

I'm afraid you do not understand 'science'

nothing in the scientific method, developed by creationists such as Lord Bacon, would rule out theism

if you mean naturalistic science... then you take in the prior assumptions of an atheists that God never worked in nature and interpret the data accordingly... you will immediately arrive vis a vis circular reasoning that there is no God.. but circular reasoning is not valid anyhow

in point of fact, nothing of any positive significance to mankind in medicine, agriculture of technology rests on naturalistic evolution and certainly nothing rules out a creator God, unless you consider racism positive

Answer 7

No, not at all. Here is a link to the staff of the Vatican Observatory. Click on the names to learn about more about the priest scientists. For example, Father Christopher Corbally has a doctorate in astronomy from the University of Toronto. "His dissertation was a study on the evolutionary status of close visual binary stars as shown by classification of their spectra. His research interests, in addition to multiple star systems, include stellar spectral classification, peculiar and metal-weak stars, galactic structure and telescope technology."

Or how about Father Tad Pacholczyk? His doctorate in neuroscience is from Yale University, and he holds "four undergraduate degrees -- in molecular and cellular biology, chemistry, biochemistry and philosophy -- and two degrees in advanced theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome."

Answer 8

not true, the atheist here at R&S are proof. They throw out insults to those who do believe in the science of the Bible, and they have no idea of why some people say they are atheist!
They are riding someone else's opinion because they are too lazy to actually study what they say they believe. Or read what they say they don't believe.

How can you say they have ANY understanding at all?????

Answer 9

Science proves God's existence.

Answer 10

I have come across several scientists who say quite the opposite!

If you REALLY UNDERSTAND science, there is such intricacy in the universe that many can not see how it is possible without a supreme plan / planner.

I mean... good grief -- have you ever taken a look at a simple FEATHER under magnification??

Answer 11

I don't agree with that. I understand science and have an appreciaton for what we don't know and what we haven't explained. Today's magic is tomorrow's science, but its still spectacular. Maybe I'm not the same kind of theist, but I am not an atheist.
