Someone said," religion and science are like brother and sister. Agree,why? disagree,why?

Question

Many scientists who are honest in their scientific findings said that both have different roles to play in the pursuit of the truth about the deepest question of life and everything that is connected with it at the end of the road they are like brother and sister...

Answer 1

A legitimate conflict between science and religion cannot exist. Religion without science is blind. Science without religion is lame.
Religion and science are not complete without each other. Religion is liable to run into blind alleys if it’s not guided by science. Progressive scientific developments can broaden the religious perspective and make it more relevant to humankind. Science is not about building a body of known 'facts'. It is a method for asking awkward questions and subjecting them to a reality-check, thus avoiding the human tendency to believe whatever makes us feel good.
However,
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it with the conviction their theory is correct. Engineering and scientific endeavor must be tempered with humanitarian purpose. Just because science says you can do something, that doesn't mean you should. Religion provides that much needed moral compass without which science would be heartless - as was discovered in Nazi Germany.

Answer 2

I agree. If you read in Job where God is talking to him you'll discover a lot of what we now know to be truth.

Many scientific quests have started from questioning something in the Bible.

There is an abundance of what we call dark matter that we know so little about. God said there was darkness & He created the world from chaos. Chaos is a lack of order. Look at the cosmos. Randomly things bump into, avoid, etc. They're shaped different even asteroids have different contents.

One of the biggest conundrums in modern astronomy is the fact that over 90% of the Universe is invisible. This mysterious missing stuff is known as 'dark matter'.

The problem started when astronomers tried to weigh galaxies. There are two methods of doing this. Firstly, we can tell how much a galaxy weighs just by looking at how bright it is and then converting this into mass.

The second way is to look at the way stars move. Everything in the Universe rotates. The Earth spins on its axis. The whole planet orbits around our parent star, the Sun. The Sun rotates around the centre of the Milky Way, along with the billions of other stars in the Galaxy, forming a huge cosmic dance. This rotation provides another way of weighing a galaxy. Studying how fast stars at the very edge move reveals the mass of the whole galaxy. The faster the Galaxy rotates, the more mass there is inside it.

But when astronomers such as Jan Oort and Fritz Zwicky did the two sets of sums in the early 1930s they hit a big problem. For every galaxy they studied the two answers didn't match. They were very confident that both methods were sound as they'd been tried and tested for many years. So they came to a startling conclusion - there must be stuff out there that we just can't see - and so they called it 'dark matter'. This dark matter was really important, as if it wasn't there then galaxies would fly apart as they spun round.

Thus there is order within the chaos, why? The Shekinah Glory in the tabernacle in the desert was a thick smoke & God himself said he dwelt even in thick darkness. Is there a corrolation?

All mitrocondrial DNA goes back to Africa which is in the general region outside of where the garden of Eden was believed to be. The Bible says Jerusalem is the center of the world. Look at a map of Panagea (sp?) before the continents divided. Jerusalem is smack in the center.

There's even an old testament referral to Jerusalem being north which makes no sense. But they recently discovered an electromagnetic field there that is so strong that a compass goes crazy. Yet it's rarely ever cold.

Many discoveries in early science started out as a quest to understand things spoken of in the Bible. Until we really know who God is we'll never fully understand his reasoning or ways.

But science has only built on what is there. It has never created anything from nothing. It only seeks to understand why everything is as it is & try to copy or improve on it. You first have to have questions presented with an answer before you have a reason to confirm or deny. Why would anyone seek to answer a question if there were no answers already given to judge it against.

Atheistic scientist try to pull as far away from the answer given as possible to confirm life is chance. Fanatical christian scientists tend to do the opposite. The ones who impress me most are those who start out w/o any bias, testing everything strictly by scientific measures and still reach the decision there has to be some kind of intelligent design whether they believe it's a god or not.

Answer 3

Unless the brother is adopted, or retarded and maybe you are referring to sibling rivalry or family feud... I disagree. Religion has worked very hard to slow scientific progress, to control the masses keeping them in fear and ignorance. It's true that people could use science to influence in the same sort of way. However, science is about questioning, skepticism, discovery.. revealing mysteries and secrets.... while religion is the opposite.

Now if you were to say spirituality and science are like brother and sister in the pursuit of truth and knowledge.. Then I'd be inclined to agree. "organized" Religion and Spirituality are two very different things.

Answer 4

I'm a Baha'i.
As such, we are taught that religion and science work hand in hand.
I always liked the way my daddy explained it:
Religion answers the why.
Science answers the how.

After all, an earthquake may have parted the waters, but how did Moses know where to be and when?

Answer 5

Religion and science has nothing to do with each other.

Religion is the worshiping of a thing or god, the true God religion is the worshiping or the true God.

Science is man trying to find out the mysteries of God's creations.

Answer 6

Nope. Disagree. Religion is completely opposite to Science.

But when Science proves that religious beliefs are completely absurd... religious nuts try to compensate that by applying a "friendly", "cooperative" tone with Science.

Not a single religious belief has ever helped Scientists discover anything.

Answer 7

Religion evolved from mankind's misinterpretation of God's scientific knowledge.

Answer 8

No. But theists like to think so. Religion doesn't offer any truth and it hasn't progressed our society at all. Look at the last hundred years. Look at what science has achieved, now look at what religion has done. Understand now?
