There is no longer any need for religion given that science can explain the world - reasons FOR this argument?

Question

I'm writing an essay on this subject and I've got quite a few reasons against this (e.g. no morals), though more would be appreciated, especially if anyone had unusual ones... But, I haven't really got too many reasons FOR this argument (apart from the obvious one, religion creates wars).. Any ideas, especially ones that aren't strictly obvious?

Answer 1

u dont need a god to have morals. science explains morals pretty clear.

Answer 2

NOW 2007 SINCE JESUS WAS BORN IN ROME WORLD EMPIRE #6

The bible was published for the world to began to view 1611 afer Jesus was
born in Rome Empire #6.

How many wars had been on earth in all the world Empires before Rome world Empire #6, and how many wars was there during Rome Empire #6.

The book that was published in 1611 to the world, how many religions were in the world at that time? This book says do not pay attention to wars and rumors of war, WHY? Was the earth established enought to have a WW1 from 1611 to 303 years at 1914 for WW1.

If this 1611 book created a christian world, how did the world have WW1?

If this 1611 book created a christian world, [ as religion existed before ]. then how 1611 to 327 years at 1938 began WW2, to 334 years at end WW2 and the holocaust.

It seems that 62 years ago, this book in 334 years had little to no impact on the world of mankind to end WW2 at the cost of billions of lives.

What world Empire is in the World 2007 after Jesus was in Rome world Empire #6, this is the biggest thing the world has to offer, so is prophecy based on the biggest thing the human can see and know?

Answer 3

Religions don't cause wars, people cause wars. Always have and always will.

Science has not even come close to explaining the "why" of life.

Btw, thinking science has all the answers is not a new thing, it has been going on since men first started to communicate.
Though out history there have been men who thought they were smarter then God. Most ended up seeking God in the end.

Answer 4

religion does not explain the world more than science does. In fact religion complicates the world because a god is beyond human comprehension. a god is too complex for a human mind.

there are multiple competing religions each has their own explanation of the world. that complicates the world.

Religion claims to have an answer for everything it will stop the evolution of science. But with science human can get control over their environment, with religion this is not possible.

Answer 5

There never was a 'need' for religion - all the answers it provides are silly guesses: schizophrenia interpreted as possession by devils, lightning caused by Thor's hammer, etc.

At this point, however, science has provided natural explanation for essentially all of the great mysteries - from the origin of the universe to the cause of morality - and this SHOWS the intellectual bankruptcy of religion explanations and the entire God Hypothesis.

More correctly, you could say that there's no longer any need for people to BELIEVE, as science can demonstrate the falsity of those beliefs.

Answer 6

Here's an idea.Stop letting your teacher influence you.Religion does not create wars.Humans create wars.Guns don't kill people.People with guns kill people.Question your teacher,and see the retort.It's called no academic equality.Write the essay,but give him(her) what they want to read,because if it's contradictory to what they want,even if it's accurate,you'll still fail.If that's the philosophy their offering take the class with a grain of salt.
Oh yeah,science doesn't explain everything.Like I said,don't take your teacher's word for it.Your question is evidence of almost every student nowadays.You wont think for yourself,and you take the philosophy of some teacher who's fallible and imperfect just like me and you.

Answer 7

There are still plenty of things that science can't explain. That doesn't mean it is a good reason to say "magic sky daddy did it with magic". Science is not in the business of disproving the existence of gods or anything, and religion is not in the business of offering proof.

Answer 8

There is a need for religion. Religion has been a big reason that people have gone to war over. Look at the Islamic terrorist. They are doing it over religion. They want to kill everyone that don't believe as they do. Even the atheist wants to shut up a Christians. They want free speech to be for everyone but Christians. But when you take Jesus Christ as your personal savior. One wants to get to know him better. One will develop her/his relationship with God and his son Jesus Christ.

Answer 9

There is no need for religion because it is superstitious nonsense, just because science has not explained something 100%, does not automatically mean goddidit.

Even if there were no science as such, religion would still be rubbish.

Answer 10

Don"t need God;That is Pride talking. Man is Naked and Empty without God,
Man thinks He can solve all mysteries,if He is educated the "right" way, I would rather be just A
Simple Man, If being Highly educated cause Me to Turn my back on God;To Me that would be the
most awful thing;I would not want to "Live" without God.

Answer 11

Einstein wrote that the purpose of science is to determine what is and the purpose of religion is to determine what should be. He concluded that neither one, in pure form, contradicts the other based on that reasoning.

One could argue that reality is simply what is and that fantasy of what should be is irrelevant.
