I am a scientist at heart, and also an avid believer in life after death.One of the fundamentals in Biology is that life cannot arise from non-life, so then did it just occur, by mere chance? All these things in life work together so well. Plants supply oxygen for us, animals supply carbon dioxide for them. If a human wants to build something, they must actually make it.. It will not just appear. I realize that it is hard to grasp something that seems so "magical". Believe me, I have had those days. Strangely enough, it was through reading about Science that supported a creator in my mind. I am pretty liberal about Religion,(I am open to all ideas)and maybe that's why I am not so threatned by Science. And I think a lot of people who behold Science and logical thinking get turned off by a notion of"faith"Do you think Science may one day begin to study the unexplained/unusual?(they are starting to w/ string theory and the like) And do you think that Religions will realize God is science?

Simon T and "Science only" people. There is an interesting read called "Physics of immortality" by Frank tiplar that is really compelling. :)

God created all sciences and used the knowledge of sciences in creation of this galaxy including every thing in it including all living things, animals and humans. Man only discovers what God has created.
In Quran God encourages man to observe, think and discover every thing that God has created on the self sustaining earth. sun, moon, air, clouds, rain etc. to support all kinds of life.

If it took a living creator to make life on Earth, then where did that living creator get it's life from?
All you are doing is pushing the question back one level and then ignoring it. Very shallow thinking and not very scientific.
Life works together well because if it did not then the feedback mechanisms that exist within nature would change life until it did work together well, or went extinct.
The first photosynthesizing organisms wiped out the vast majority of life because it could not live in an oxidizing atmosphere. But the life that could use oxygen just grew to use up the new resource until there was a new balance. This happens all the time. It is why species become extinct and new species evolve.
If you want to believe in life after death, then go ahead. But it again is unscientific to do so based purely on what appears to be your desire that it be so. If you want to ante up some actual evidence to support your claim then I think a lot of people would be very interested in it. Until then is it belief, not science.

I am a Christian and have never actually come across solid scientific proof that is in conflict with what the bible says. There are some theorys that do, like evolution, but these have definatly not been proved. I believe that God created science and therefore science and religion should not oppose each other.

you're precise suitable to the tip of the enormous bang theory. With the introduction of the Hubble deep field telescope we've found out plenty extra suitable to the universe. as an occasion that is plenty larger than we concept. The extra we seem the extra we come across and it supplies each and every advice that it is going on into infinity in all guidelines. There are rivers of galaxies flowing with the aid of the universe, all moving into distinctive guidelines and at distinctive speeds, and a few are rushing up, some are slowing down. the enormous bang theory could no longer probably account for those phenomena and in basic terms extremely ever worked as much as the galactic point. even nonetheless it grow to be a stable attempt pondering that is Victorian physics. you will no longer discover any secret in physics, you're able to pass to quantum physics to discover genuine mysteries. lol in case you have an pastime have a study up on the recent Unified field theory, the mathematics are impeccable. The universe is limitless and there grow to be no initiating, and there will be no end. only limitless sequence of smaller cycles interior of larger ones. No initiating, no end, no god. God is a blanket expression to label lack of expertise, no longer an excellent invisible sky fairy to desire upon. training Shaman... quantum physics rocks.

Don't confuse practical biology with ideal biology. To use a simple analogy from chemistry, you describe two reactants as forming a product. In truth, neither reactant is pure, and not everything formed by the two reactants is the desired product. Still, yields of 99% of theoretical do occur. Things that don't happen in general, do happen. In the case of abiogenesis, it only had to happen once.
Religion and science are perfectly compatible so long as you are honest and open to reality. Doctrine, not belief, is the antithesis of science.

I would just warn you of this, Paul wrote 2000 years ago, "they worship the creation, but not the creator." I think that is where most problems started.
