Somebody has been watching The Colbert Report... I don't necessarily believe that science is lame without religion. I tend to think that they are both fully capable of standing on their own--science because it can explain the world and religion because it was designed that way.

yes I agree.
I really don't get it why people think that with advancements in science there is no place for religion. In fact because of these advancements, scientists have been able to discover bizarre phenomena that they are not able to explain with all the laws that we have till now.
There are so many things that still cannot be explained by science. For ex why do objects fall to the ground, yeah they call it gravity but that is just a term, scientists really don't know what causes objects to attract each other.
Why there is nothing that can travel faster than the speed of light is another question that scientists are unable to explain.

It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. [Albert Einstein, 1954, from Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press]

The basis of religion is spiritual power while that of science is matter. Religion and science should not be opposed to each other. Science is for the benefit of mankind. Scientific discoveries can be of an important aid when facing diseases, epidemics, early warning of forth coming earthquakes, etcetera... The path of religion is also the search for the truth, from this point of view religion and science are complementary to each other!

Yes I do agree. I belive that there are too many scientests that try and prove there is no god. I also think that the religons like Christian Scintests are wrong because god gave the people the knowlage to help make people better so why not use that power. But use it without forgetting that there is a higher power.

2292 Scientific, medical, or psychological experiments on human individuals or groups can contribute to healing the sick and the advancement of public health.
2293 Basic scientific research, as well as applied research, is a significant expression of man's dominion over creation. Science and technology are precious resources when placed at the service of man and promote his integral development for the benefit of all. By themselves however they cannot disclose the meaning of existence and of human progress. Science and technology are ordered to man, from whom they take their origin and development; hence they find in the person and in his moral values both evidence of their purpose and awareness of their limits.
2294 It is an illusion to claim moral neutrality in scientific research and its applications. On the other hand, guiding principles cannot be inferred from simple technical efficiency, or from the usefulness accruing to some at the expense of others or, even worse, from prevailing ideologies. Science and technology by their very nature require unconditional respect for fundamental moral criteria. They must be at the service of the human person, of his inalienable rights, of his true and integral good, in conformity with the plan and the will of God.

No.
Science is observable and does not require the speculation of supernatural explanations.
But then again I am sure Einstein meant something far different than the way I am interpreting this quote; he was a cryptic guy.

What is a better statement is: Science without conscience is dangerous, religion is blind.
