Why do people believe religion is false but they believe science is perfect?

Question

People say science is fact when you probably dont know all of it certain things the government will never let you are any one else know...and even the bit they let you know about changes every few years....but they say christianity contradicts itself...so does science...then you have people that say why don't all christian denominations believe in the same thing same reason all scientist don't...so how can you talk about christians

Answer 1

That is a puzzle that will not be solved till Jesus comes back and every one sees Christians had it right the whole time!

Answer 2

Who said that religion is perfect? The only one who is claiming religion is perfect is the atheist. Religious people are seeking for perfection, that doesn't mean they are saying religion is perfect.

Science is not perfect, yet people want you to think that it is the only answer. If you don't want people to have religion, then they will only have science. However science doesn't tell you what is right or wrong. In science even what a moral person may consider to be immoral, is okay, because science doesn't know the difference between right and wrong. As long as it helps man (the user) evolve then it is acceptable.

A world based solely on science will be a cruel/sick world. That is why no one on Y!A can give a reason why cannibalism is wrong. That is why no one can explain why it is wrong to murder a pregnant woman and not wrong to commit abortion. That is why some think that is okay to do human experiments. Oh and let's not forget Heinrich Gross, according to the medical community as long as the results was beneficial, who cares about the means that he used to get them.

The world of science needs checks and balances. I would rather have a religious man do the checking, then an atheist man.

Oh the useful things an atheist society can do with the inviable and useless of society.

Answer 3

Well.. most scientist would probably try to find the right answer to a question and not stop at there dogma. I dont think that christians in genral think out side of a very set box of rules. Science will evolve with the tecnologies we create and after you get over the inevitabiity of governing bodys, and how power over masses of people can influence the flow of information, you wil realize that science is not perfect, or there would be no reason at all to continue to learn and grow. How can "you " continue to talk about christians? Well, because I can, as you can talk about science.

Answer 4

We seem to be influenced more by statistics and surveys now. It's like if you can see it, then you can trust it. And although not all science is bad, some are. Science will never be perfect because the people behind it aren't perfect. They are like me and you, and that means that some do take advantage of situations.

And no matter what happens, Christianity is never going to go away under any standard. For centuries people have tried to bury it and they still come up with the short end of the stick. Weird, huh?

Answer 5

Someone who thinks science is perfect is ignorant of science. Only religious people think people think science is perfect. Where does science contradict itself? The reason people prefer science over religion in the fact that it is based on evidence and not some book anyone could have written. It's the same reason people prefer a light bulb over a lucky rabbit's foot.

Answer 6

I love this question! I think people are looking for a horn of their own to toot, and that is when they get on the SELFrighteous band wagon of atheism, evolution (yah, like MY kids are descended from monkeys..... whatever!), and science. REAL science points straight at an intelligent designer for life. I think that the naysayers want to argue just for the sake of arguing and feeling important. Being a believer of God (the one true God, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) means that one must submit their souls to conviction of sin. To a non-believer, right and wrong is ALL relative..... they don't want to be cornered into the conviction that SOMETHING might be wrong with THEM. True believers will fall on their faces in the presence of the Lord and confess ALL. Non-believers want the freedom to follow their fleshy desires. Believers want conviction and guidance. The problems with the world boils down to one thing and ONE thing alone.... sin.

The same arguement is true for the exclusion of creationism from the public school setting. Christians say "teach it both ways and let the kids choose" non-believers say "teach it ONLY one way because only WE know the "truth" ."

Sad..... but at least *I* know that earth is the closest I will EVER get to hell, and non-believers must know that earth is the closest they will ever get to heaven.... right? after all, they know everything.

Ugh...

I hate to be so blunt, but I lost my 16 year old to suicide this past summer, and have lots of opinions about this type of thing.

Answer 7

Many of today's leading scientist turn to science for the answers to all questions. Science is their religion. Science is their God. But in reality, science cannot answer every and all questions. Science was never intended for that to happen in the first place. One should not mutually exclude the other, but in connection with each other only then can the answers to the questions be discovered.

Here I quote perhaps the greatest scientist of the 20th century, Albert Einstein.

“I do not think that it is necessarily the case that science and religion are natural opposites. In fact, I think that there is a very close connection between the two. Further, I think that science without religion is lame and, conversely, that religion without science is blind. Both are important and should work hand-in-hand.”- Albert Einstein

Answer 8

Science says it's not perfect but keeps the best answer available as supported by evidence. They seldom find an entire premise to be wrong, if anything they discover nuances to things already known.

Religion is to spirituality what makeup is to a woman. To much is wrong and rare is the face that needs none at all.

From the spirituality aspect most still do not understand that God is ENTIRELY within each person. Not a copy, or a phone line, or a concept. You are each God, the one and only God. We are not each part of God we are each entirely God but to the level we doubt it are we limited. We judge our worth badly. Jesus knew it, Buddha knew it, Krishna knew it,
one day you will know it.

Love one another, to do so is to love God.

Answer 9

Science is not perfect. Like freedom, we have to work with it to get the answers. But religion is false. You have no proof that any of it is factual.

Study science to find out all you can about the universe.

Peace, only without religion.

Answer 10

you are very confused, and even if i tried to explain it to you here....you would not read it all

science is NOT perfect, but it is a building process..

think of a puzzle, all the pieces and no box lid to go by...now as you find a few pieces that fit you say...i think it's a dog....as you find more that fit this puzzle you say....nope not a dog, too big, it's a horse....as you find even more pieces of the puzzle that fit you say...nope not dog, not horse...it's a bison.

this is kinda how science builds as it gets more pieces to the puzzle.

religion says....god said it's a cat, i believe it's a cat...so i do not need to assemble the pieces...i know it's a cat end of story.

and to make it worse....if you try to assemble those pieces, religion gets mad cause you have no faith and dumps the puzzle on the floor.

that's a simple, short answer for you...hope you can make sense out of it.

Answer 11

None of us believe that science is perfect.
But it's a FAR cry better than the silly and childish notion that some magic sky-pixie waved his magic wand and brought the universe into being from nothing.
