What shows that belief in God and science are not incompatible?

Answer 1

when the christians in the usa tried to put god into science and made the usa look like fools all over the world that creation fairy land in kentucky is a joke thay have got the flintstone there in bedrock

Answer 2

It depends on what a person's definition of God is.

If one defines God as a separate, mystical, super-being, who requires worship, science is completely incompatible

If one defines God as the universe and all that inhabit it, science then strengthens belief by providing illumination.

The God of the tangible world is awe inspiring and mysterious but doesn't conflict with science. Science gives answers to the mysteries of this very real universe. The God part is choosing to be reverent when acknowledging and accepting the natural laws of the cosmos.

Answer 3

The way I see it both science and the belief in God search for the truth. Science if supported by research and evidence that any individual who is capable can carry out and will come up with the same answers scientists have come up with.

The only thing that make people reluctant to believe in God, is, there no evidence that support his/her existence, this theory is only supported by the bible, which I think it was written by a person.

So searching for answers it has to offer facts not fiction and that the difficulty that lies behind the belief in God. No one has ever came up the answer of the where about of God and if he is really our creator. But the proof of evolution is all around us.

Answer 4

"RECONCILING SCIENCE AND RELIGION"

"Science and religion [are] no longer seen as incompatible."— The Daily Telegraph, London, May 26, 1999.

BOTH science and religion, in their NOBLEST(my caps) forms, involve the search for truth. Science discovers a world of magnificent order, a universe that contains distinctive marks of intelligent design. True religion makes these discoveries meaningful by teaching that the mind of the Creator lies behind the design manifest in the physical world.
***"I find my appreciation of science is greatly enriched by religion," says Francis Collins, a molecular biologist. He continues: "When I discover something about the human genome, I experience a sense of awe at the mystery of life, and say to myself, 'Wow, only God knew before.' It is a profoundly beautiful and moving sensation, which helps me appreciate God and makes science even more rewarding for me."

--BELIEF IN TRUE SCIENCE (not evolution)AND GOD(not church god) are compatible!

Answer 5

God and Science are make believe - neither exist. Created for people by people and like sheep most people follow and continue the belief.

Answer 6

I think Dr Collins did a pretty good job of showing how and why God and science are not incompatible.

Dr. Francis S. Collins is Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. He currently leads the Human Genome Project, directed at mapping and sequencing all of human DNA, and determining aspects of its function. His previous research has identified the genes responsible for cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis, Huntington's disease and Hutchison-Gilford progeria syndrome. He is a member of the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences. For the rest of his credentials, click on the link here: http://www.genome.gov/10000980. Collins spoke with Bob Abernethy of PBS, posted online at http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/transcripts/collins.html, in which he summaries the compatability of fact and faith thusly:

"I think there's a common assumption that you cannot both be a rigorous, show-me-the-data scientist and a person who believes in a personal God. I would like to say that from my perspective that assumption is incorrect; that, in fact, these two areas are entirely compatible and not only can exist within the same person, but can exist in a very synthetic way, and not in a compartmentalized way. I have no reason to see a discordance between what I know as a scientist who spends all day studying the genome of humans and what I believe as somebody who pays a lot of attention to what the Bible has taught me about God and about Jesus Christ. Those are entirely compatible views.

"Science is the way -- a powerful way, indeed -- to study the natural world. Science is not particularly effective -- in fact, it's rather ineffective -- in making commentary about the supernatural world. Both worlds, for me, are quite real and quite important. They are investigated in different ways. They coexist. They illuminate each other. And it is a great joy to be in a position of being able to bring both of those points of view to bear in any given day of the week. The notion that you have to sort of choose one or the other is a terrible myth that has been put forward, and which many people have bought into without really having a chance to examine the evidence. I came to my faith not, actually, in a circumstance where it was drummed into me as a child, which people tend to assume of any scientist who still has a personal faith in God; but actually by a series of compelling, logical arguments, many of them put forward by C. S. Lewis, that got me to the precipice of saying, 'Faith is actually plausible.' You still have to make that step. You will still have to decide for yourself whether to believe. But you can get very close to that by intellect alone."

Answer 7

The teaching of theosophy are very insight full in both ways as they see creation being brought about by the means of evolution and under the laws of rebirth and karma.I myself have been an occultist for many years and I know for example that I employ these ways to reach the stage of full self realization and peace of mind .

Answer 8

For a start, there are, proportionately, many more Christains amongst scientits than non-scientists.

Answer 9

God created us to be inquesitve, intelligent, creative, and capable of reasoning. Science itself is not the enemy of faith.

Answer 10

Talk Evolution to a Biblical Fundamentalist and you will have your answer.
