True or False??

Question

The only or main reason there is a debate between Creationism&the theories of science is cuase 1.Science is not able to fully or completely explain the origins of the univers&everythig within 2.Supporters of science are not satisfied with the answers given by faith.3.Supporters of science that are potentially willing to believe the reasons given by faith,get confused because of all the multiple religions/faiths in the world 4.Those that are willing to come together and try and resolve the differences&misunderstandings are vastly out numbered by those that are not willing.So ultimately pride gets in the way&keeps people from uninting and working through what is true&what is just BS.

Agree or disagree?Why or why not?

Answer 1

I disagree. There are agenda driven people that are out there. There are aethiest scientist that hide there agenda and try to disprove the creationist.

There are agenda driven creationists that try to disprove the aethiest scientist.

Science is being able to review the same set of data and yield the same conclusions. What evolution and creationism is looking at the same conclusion and theorizing about the origins. If either theory were a scientific fact, then both sides would be able to peer review the other theory and come up with the same conclusion.

Neither side has enough evidence to substantiate their theories and both make unscientific assumptions to fill their gaps.

Answer 2

1. There are a lot of things science can't explain. How often do you see studies done that say one thing, then a year later say something else? It happens all the time. Science can't understand nor prove everything in the universe nor explain everything in it. This is true.

2. Science is the study of the things they can see and the odds of it happening. There is no faith. If they cant see it, poke at it, or fiddle with it...it just doesn't exist to them. It is true they are not happy with the answer of faith.

3. There are so many religions around that it is hard to see the truth. It has so many duplicates trying to BE it, than they all scream they are the one. True, they get confused when confronted by this. Many who study the world have come to believe there IS a God, they just don't know which one it is.

4. There will come a time when they all WILL come together, and it won't be that far from now. There will only be 2 groups who don't. Read revelations if you want to know more. :)

Answer 3

This question is hiding from the truth. About the only religion in the world that does not accept science is Christianity!

Take Christians out of your question and science and evolution would be accepted hands down.

Christians keep saying evolution is not provable but this illustrated either that they do not keep up with all the scientific proof being found each year or that they prefer to hide in their ignorance. There are many scientific proofs for evolution and simple basic examples can be shown in experiments that take but a few months.

The sad fact is that the majority of Christians can accept science and their faith. It is the very young, the naive or the zealots and extremists in Christianity who cannot.

That explains in simple terms why church attendance is falling year on year.

Answer 4

What a refreshing question! I tip my hat to you. You actually have tried to give a reason, or a set of reasons for the debate (I use *that* term loosely!).

1. IMO, it is more than that. It is that creationists --particularly of the lay variety-- have a defect view of what science is and does. But then, many evolutionists do, too. Hence part of the conflict.

2. Many people both in and out of faith communities have defective understandings of faith, so again IMHO, it is more that you assert.

3. I flat do not know.

4. The number of reasonable people is "fur shure" smaller than the number of non-reasonable ones. This stems, IMHO, from a defective view of what it means to be reasonable. It is also a moral failure, too, since the practice of reason giving requires a certain set of virtues; and since we no longer value the virtues per se we are generally incapable of supporting extended conversations that just are a sharing of knowledge.

Again, thanks for the question.

Answer 5

I don't fully agree to this, because Faith by its very nature is not based on anything solid. It changes with society. You can see this in the behavior of Christians today vs 1000 years ago, vs 2000 years ago. Religion changes with Society, so do beliefs.

To try and teach that science and faith can coexist, one has to admit that our belief on the origin of life as it relates to God might be completely different 100 years from now. So in essence it isn't a search for truth, but a search for a reduction in conflict. Conflict is a good thing, when searching for the truth, it causes people to argue positions and only the strong survive.

Answer 6

Scientists say nothing and have nothing against religion. We deal only with observable fact. Scientists are not satisfied with the answers of faith because faith means belief without factual support. The biggest reason for the debate, it the Creationists refusal to understand the science and incorporate it, or stay out of it.

Answer 7

1. True. But it's doing better than the bible
2. True. Science is based on evidence
3. Pass. There's no way to tell whether or not someone would come to faith in different circumstances.
4. False. People are generally all trying to work out what the truth is.

Answer 8

In the view of physical science, every observable phenomenon can be explained on the bases of the known laws of nature or laws yet to be discovered. If there is a phenomenon that we cannot understand or explain with our present state of knowledge, then we have to await future discoveries and developments. The fact that we do not understand an event or a phenomenon should drive us to seek an understanding of it. There are no mysteries in science; everything has a scientific explanation.

Answer 9

This is not a debate. Scientists in laboratories right now are not debating creationism. The debate is only happening in the media and on sites like these.

The scientific community rejects the religious explanation for the origin of the universe and the origin of life, because neither of those explanations are scientific.

Answer 10

I agree that this is true. Scientists just don't want to believe something they can not prove to be real. Some scientists are Christians and really believe that even though it can not be scientifically proven, God is real, which he is. The couple reasons that you stated were very true. Everybody in the world has the choice to believe what they want, but some people are just too pride-ful and stuck up to admit they are wrong.
