No it is not. Science and religion can go hand and hand. It is only a threat to those insecure in their beliefs.

Truth is a threat to both. True religion and true science will always agree. Both science and religion do not have all of the answers yet, and where they conflict one or both are likely wrong. There is also the chance that both are right if looked at in the proper way.

Statement of The Center for the Study of Science and Religion: "Sciences respond to a felt need to understand the world, and religions respond to a felt need for the world to have meaning. From these different starting points, one issue emerges at the junction of any science and any religion: are these felt needs commensurate? That is, is the universe a moral place, so that the natural order is relevant to human lives and human values; do faith and family, love and charity mirror any larger meaning than the meanings we give to them? Today, to a first approximation, the answer to these questions from any religion is Yes, and the answer from any science is No."

Our forefathers made religion(s) based on or connected with science, but during period of time religion needs changes and that is which our today's religion-leaders do not like and that is the reason for your quarry(question) to arise. RELIGION IS TOTALLY RELATED TO SCIENCE, is not threat to science but religion-leaders are threat to science & cultured society, which needs changes as science goes forward.

Yes it is a threat.
Most of the religions of the world are based on the premise that an almighty being will improve peoples lives and admit them to heaven if they remain committed to the religion. As science seems to fundamentaly conflict with many religious teachings it would seem that the two cannot coexist

No, science is not a threat to religion.
There is no controversy between the truth in the Word of God, and true Science.
This earth is eons old according to Scriptures (yes, i know there is a group who run around saying the Bible says the earth is 6000 years old - they are wackos)
In fact, the Bible explains that there are three earth ages. We are in the second.
The dedicated work of the world's scientists should be celebrated, not argued with.
Science and Gods Word go hand in hand,
and get along quite well.

Science is no threat and isn't science a religion to?? Religion- a cause , principal or system of beliefs held to with order and faith. Science is a belief system -a religion- and there's nothing that takes more faith than to believe in it.

Science is a threat to religion, however it's not out to get religion, as some religious people think.
It merely follows the evidence.
Religion will probably have to adapt based on what science finds. Those religions that can't or won't adapt will go extinct.

Science is the search for truth. It is only a threat to religion if religion is untrue.
So yes, science is a threat to religion.

Science fits quite nicely with Judaism. As a matter of fact, Daniel Matt frequently lectures at Universities in the Astronomy field to explain the Zohar's Big Bang theory developed many centuries ago.
