Do you believe religion is a threat to science?

Answer 1

Both threaten the other at the faith level.

Strip off the bias that man puts on both and you will find that the spiritual and the physical are closely connected and not at all at odds with each other.

Answer 2

No. No religious person has ever been able to prove a scientist wrong, or at least convince the scientist that science is false and it doesn't work.

However, many so called religious people have actually left their religions and become atheists because science proved them wrong.

I do not think that any of the two should be a problem for the other. The only problem is that each tries to have a monopoly over people's minds, instead of cooperating.

If religion stuck to spiritual things, and science to factual data, instead of religion trying to explain the natural phenomena and science trying to refute the existence of spirit, our world would be a much better and less noisy place.

Answer 3

Quite the opposite- I believe science is a threat to religion. It's no wonder people raise all the hue and cry about teaching the theory of evolution in school. They are afraid if their kids open their mind to science, they will realize just how ridiculous the concept of religion really is.

Answer 4

No, I don't. I think there are a lot of people within certain religions that would rather science just stop questioning the reason of things, but on the whole they are mostly just people who talk a great deal and do very little about it. Scientist can't help but to want to know more. It is in the nature of man to want to know the why of things. That nature isn't just going to stop.

Answer 5

The Bible is accurate in its many scientific statements. I suppose you spent 13 years in public schools studying evolutionary theory. How much time have you spent looking at someone else's evidence?

Here are links to a few short articles to show haw the Bible is accurate. Things such as germs, roundness of the earth, jet stream, hydrological cycle, mountains and springs known to be at the bottom of the ocean, entropy, size of the universe, etc.

You may doubt, but if you don't investigate to prove these things true or false then you make yourself a liar and hypocrite as well as remain ignorant. If you do study and still are not persuaded, at least you are honest and fair.

Answer 6

Science is defined by man and as such will incur changes and errors. Science adapts to new data, but more more importantly, most "science" changes as a result of the prevailing ideas dictated by the same.

God has always been the same; it has been that way since the beginning, is now and will remain for eternity.
