What does the quote "religion without science is blind" mean?

Answer 1

Truth comes to us in two fundamental ways: experience and inspiration. Experience is important in religion, but inspiration (revelation) is essential. Inspiration is important in science, but experience is essential.

When the Holy Spirit is likened to the wind, aside from the pun on the name, the point is being made that both are experienced, as well as believed in. While scientists rely upon experience (experiments) to confirm hypotheses, the hypotheses are often the result of inspiration.

The more one learns about science or religion, the more one finds the one reflected in the other.

Answer 2

Einstein asserted, "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind". From a broad viewpoint it suggests that religion and science are not complete without each other. Religion is liable to run into blind alley's if it's not guided by science and if science is used without a spiritual aspect (religion), it might not make much sense either.

Answer 3

It's the stupidest, and most awesomely truthful quote I can imagine. It's stupid because it was meant to belittle religious people, which is the blindest kind of thinking I know. It's the most intelligent quote because it reveals what every believing person already knows. Believing is seeing, not the other way around, and believing, most particularly in Jesus our Christ, is more important than "science" ever could imagine being. God Bless you.

Answer 4

It means that "blind faith" is really blind, because it does not investigate or draw conclusions.

Answer 5

ask questions.
