Will Science provide all answers that religion seems not to? Or is religion a Science in itself?

Answer 1

Science and religion are full of bull.

Answer 2

Religion is not a science. Science will never provide all of the answers. Every time we solve one question, the solution itself creates a dozen more questions that we did not even know to ask. I often think about what if we could transport Isaac Newton through time to the present. Now Sir Isaac was probably the smartest person on the planet in his day. But imagine sitting him down in front of a wide screen high definition TV. Wait until he watches in awe a few minutes and then try to explain to him how it works. You couldn't do it. At least not for a number of years. First he would have to learn about the atom and electrons. Then electricity, radio, magnetism, color pixels, conductivity, etc. etc. There would be words that he had never heard before like voltage and amperes. It would all sound like a foreign language to the smartest man of his time. No. Every time we find an answer we uncover many more questions that we can search for answers to.

Answer 3

The Answer is Yes/No. Because, Religion is way of life, where science is just a part of it. Religion may also touch part of science. Science may also answer some things in life which is just a part of religion.

However Science cannot answer things like ethics, GOD, Humanity etc., Science talks about only things which are loukika, but religion talks about loukika and paramarthika.

Answer 4

Science is for the head-life. Religion is for the heart-life.

One is a poor substitute for the other. Religion is the outward expression of mythology, and mythology is NOT a set of facts to be proven true or disproven false. They do not operate ion that realm, nor do they speak the language of logic. Rather, they are written in the same sort of emotional language as our dreams.

"Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths" - Joseph Campbell

By the same token, approaching a reasearch project from an emotional level is poor science. While the dreamers dream the science of tomorrow - it is the logic of the waking world that brings it out or dreams and into the realm of our conscious existance.

One is not the other. It is a little like saying "will this t-shirt sound like orange?"

Answer 5

I am a christian and I think the other way around.
I have been interested in science and made my ''homework''.
What many people don't really know is that the theory about us coming from the monkey is quite fragile.
Last year I watched a show where it said that the oldest bone structure they found was actually a mixture of human and animal(monkey specie) bones.
So..not coming from the same person or animal...
Who knows?
But you are right in a way..religion doesn't have all the answers...but neither the science...

Answer 6

Religion is not science. Why does every question have to have an answer? Sometimes the best answer logically is we don't know. Some people just don't seem to be able to live with unanswered questions so they make up the answers without any facts or reason.

Answer 7

Not all answers, because science might not be able to provide answers on certain questions, such as ethics. Unless you consider philosophy a science, in which case science probably could answer everything that religion doesn't.

And religion is not a science because it has absolutely no predictive power (among other reasons.)

Answer 8

The scientific method is not used by most religions. Religions, especially the revealed ones rely on faith in the creed.

Deism is a religion that relies on man's ability to reason. See source below.

What are the questions that religion seems to not answer? Is it the reason for existence? Is it the origin of the cosmos? Why is there life? Are we alone in the Universe?

Answer 9

Nothing provides all the answers... But what science does not know from evidence it says it does not know but its working on it and we keep learning new things with more evidence as technology advances and we make more discoveries.


Relgiosn just makes up fairy stories to explain stuff the more far fetched the better and people swallow any con as long as its in their special book without critical analysis

Ie how did the polar bears get onto the ark or the kangaroos and if only two types of each animals where di they all fit and what if they did not fancy each other and what did the ones requiring fresh live prey eat?

Answer 10

The more scientific study science does the more it will learn and pass it onto others; and in doing so will provide answers to questions. I do not think that science will have all the answer; however, I think that it will have more plausible answer to commonly asked questions.
