Is it wrong to beleive in both science and religion.?

Question

Like, i beleive there is a god and i also beleive in science.

Answer 1

No it isn't I believe in that Science and Religion can work together for a better and brighter future.

Answer 2

Science is a tool for testing the natural world. It requires, among other things, objective tests that can be replicated by others if the conditions are the same. It can't, therefore, test supernatural claims since the supernatural, if it exists, is not subject to such testing. So science cannot say whether the supernatural exists or not. The claim there is a god or gods is a supernatural claim. So you can believe in science as far as the natural world is concerned and God as a supernatural claim. There's no contradiction.
Polls repeated since the early 20th century show that a majority of scientists, particularly in the hard sciences, are atheists. Members of the National Academy of Sciences are overwhelmingly atheist, for instance. But that doesn't mean you can't be a theist and still accept the findings of science.
It's only when you start denying scientific findings because they contradict your religious views that a problem arises. Don't do that and you are fine.

Answer 3

Science and GOD go together, because God created all of what we today consider science, including the very obvious evolutionary process... of which there is so much abundant proof that all humanity could work on cataloging it for the next 10,000 years and still have only scratched the surface.

I emphasized "God," above, rather than "religion," because most religions today are humanly-contrived constructs, filled with humanly-contrived (and often patently absurd) dogmas. The Creator is what counts... not "religions."

As for science -- most of the RRR cultists (most of whom don't think particularly well, for dint of brainwashing, low IQ, or both) tend to whine about science with an eye squarely upon evolution. Which, ironically, is simply a factual aspect of science, and harms NO one.

I don't know about THEIR "god," but MY God is intelligent, omniscient, and omnipotent enough to have created the evolutionary process right along with everything else in the universe.

Answer 4

Believing in God doesn't mean that you're not scientific or you don't believe in science.

Actually, the people who followed God before understand science.

Daniel 1:4

"youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. "

So it's not bad to be scientific.

A true scientist doesn't just believe on something without evidence or proof.

Real scientists believe in God because it's very clear to them that NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT A CAUSE.

Who made all these things that we see: stars, sun, moon, earth, planets if there's no one who created them? The bible clearly stated that it's God who created all these things.

Acts 17:24

"The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; "

So believing in the bible doesn't contradict science. The bible is a scientific book. There are instances when the bible has been proven more accurate and advanced than the science known to men.

I hope that answers your question.

Answer 5

Not according to Charles Darwin who was an Anglican priest. As long as you realize that science is gaining knowledge by studying God's creation...it will never have all the answers because from our limited perspective (stuck in 4 of the 11 dimensions of creation) we simply can not see enough of the whole to make an accurate assessment. I am a Muslim and the only "scientific" debate in Islam is about ethics not science itself. Science is a tool not an answer and must be practiced within ethical boundaries.

Answer 6

I was quite surprised by your question. It is a great myth perpetuated that science is seperate from religion. For example, the vatican has many scientists and their own studies dating hundreds of years back on the stars and solar systems. Pope John Paul II even said that the marvels of science were wonderful. It is just a man-made myth that seperates the two. You are not wrong when you truly believe in both. In fact, you are very well rounded and knowledgeable.

Answer 7

Science and relegion are as different as chalk and cheese. Mark my words they are different and not opposites.
While science deals, majorly, in reasoning. Religion deals in abiding by a set of principles to ensure a good life. Religion, in my dictonary, has nothing to do with following blind man-made rituals. Unfortunately religion has become that world-wide. So relax and beleive in what you want to believe.

Answer 8

Do believe in both: they don't clash, they don't contradict, they only reinforce each other! They are both matters of faith and trust! Scientists work on 'theorems' and 'assumptions', don't they, and they are but matters of faith, probability, until,based on the work in pursuance of theorems and assumptions, laws are derived, depending on the results of research work! Same thing in religion: faith gives rise to laws and tenets, the codes for society, depending on patterns of behaviour, patterns of acceptance, and patterns of experiential guidance coming from the more evolved "scientists" of the religions, the priests and guru's! Both science and religion seek! they seek the truth, knowledge, with some essential pocedural difference: science does not deny God, nor does religion brush science aside and refuse to accept scientific advice and guidelines! There are top scientists, who are very religious! and, top religious leaders, who acclaim science as a very essential agent for refinement of the mind and brain, refinement of human being! Have no doubt, science and religion are not at cross-purposes, not at daggerheads: they are both close friends of mankind, both necessary together for progress, advancement!

Answer 9

i'm a working study scientist a univeristy interior the Bible Belt, so i'm getting this question lots. the respond (for me) is this is a faux dichotomy, and the two can actual exist. I grew up Catholic, and the Catholic Church has maintained for over a hundred and ten years that there's no technology interior the Bible. in certainty, Pope John Paul II recommended evolution as stable technology. technology deals with looking solutions to talked approximately issues interior the universe with organic factors. this is named methodological naturalism. Supernatural factors (I.E., 'God did it!') are no longer allowed in technology because of the fact it creates a slippery slope...you need to use "God did it" as a proof for any question, even though it does not inform you something related to the phenomenon or the organic approaches at artwork. faith (subsequently, I take faith to intend a concept in a supernatural stress without scientific info), if it does not attempt to impose this impossible rule on technology, can, in certainty, coexist with technology. right this is an analogy from Thomas Haught. permit's say i want some tea and placed a kettle on the range. Why is the water boiling? solutions: -because of the fact i want tea. -because of the fact I grew to become the range on. -because of the fact water molecules have gained sufficient kinetic ability to alter section from liquid to gas. All 3 solutions are magnificent, yet basically one in all them is a scientific answer to a scientific subject, and basically one in all them could be the "magnificent" answer on a technology attempt. yet that doesn't inform you strategies the kettle have been given there. while you're attracted to this subject, attempt examining Ken Miller's e book "looking Darwin's God", which I tremendously propose.

Answer 10

Me too science and religion are two sides of the same coin. Sometimes religion is like training wheels until we can explain what's outside in the scary dark.
Sometimes religion is way ahead of science in explaining how solid reality really is.
It's like the Ying-yang symbol. At the center of science is belief and at the center of religion is knowledge.
In balance they work. Out of balance they spin sometimes forward, sometimes backward.

Answer 11

No, provided you religion IS scientific like Hinduism that is a way of life, with lots of freedom to believe or not to believe, question the priest and seek the truth and science of life or just pray god and follow the path of faith...

If you follow a scientific religion, there is no contradiction between science and religion. While following one, you ARE automatically following the other...
