Do you accept science over religion?

Question

I think science will always be one step ahead of religion.

Evidence:
Members of Church interpret the sun revolves around the earth.
Aristotle (scientist) said the earth revolves around the sun and was severely punished.

Evolution:
Bible says God created everything.
Charles Darwin claims Humans have evolved from monkeys. and scientist actually found Homo-Erectus bodies and old Homo Sapien bodies similar to the Homo Erectus

Answer 1

I believe in science. Though I'd like to say your argument is very poor.

I've seen some Christian comic books (they passed them out in front of my school a bunch of times) that do the same thing. They take every possible example of disproved theories that have to do with evolution and talk about how wrong they are.

Answer 2

Keep in mind that most mosern science finds its roots in religion. The big divide (which is a very modern thing) stems partially from the fact that most of the fathers of modern science were not a part of the religious mainstream, but rather initiates of the various esoteric mystical traditions on which the opiate-for-the-masses known as 'religion' were originally based. Examples:

Sir Isaac Newton was an alchemist (not just a puffer, but a practicing spiritual alchemist)

Psychologist Jung was a Hermeticist, and studied Gnosticism and Eastern esoterism

Mathemetician John Dee was a noted High magician

Sir Francis Bacon was a hermeticist

Robert Fludd was a physicist and astrologer

Aristotle was a theologian and along with Socrates and Plato contributed much to modern western mystery traditions

Swedenborg was a Christian Mystic

The list goes on and on... basically, science and spirituality are mutually inclusive, although religion and science very often clash (yes there is a huge difference between one's religion and one's spirituality). The founding fathers of modern science recognized that the Church was not necessarily leading its sheep to the spiritual enlightenment that is Man's birthright, and as scientists sought out their own spiritual truths and proofs thereof. Unfortunately, this part of their beliefs is often overlooked, or even purposely kept hidden as many of these esoteric (and scientific) traditions still exist and highly value their privacy. Thus, we have religion saying science is the devil, science saying religion is just modern mythology, and somewhere hidden in the middle lies the truth....

Answer 3

-Science is the subject which tells about the phenomena related to 'matter', 'energy', 'environment' etc. and everything in nature; how they behave and interact and how human can control them and use them.
-Religion is a set of rules/regulations how human will behave in their personal life, family life, social life, national life, working time etc.; what they are allowed to do and what for they are barred.
So, dear questioner, you can easily understand that, we can not compare science and religion. These are not same things, also not contradictory. Religion and science are complimentary to each other.
Religion says God created everything but does not say how God sent human to the earth. Evolution may be a probable prcess of sending human here.
Darwin's theory of evolution is not a scientific law. It is still a theory and needs proof.
However, there may be some incorrect portoins(s) in religion(s) which were added by some egoistic and greedy people. Intelligent, logical and knowledgeable people can certainly assess those portion(s) if they try to.

Answer 4

Where the church claims to serve an all knowing god and finds scientist proving them wrong the church will fight it till it can claim being the first to know... science is a threat to the church presicely because it is always a step ahead of the church.... thus proving they are not all knowing and there fore their god is either a liar or does not exist. it's hard for the church to report what the world looks like with their minds and heads buried in the sand (if not up their butts.)

Answer 5

Maybe both go hand in hand. They seem to be two sides of a coin that cohesively exist together but often has two different outcomes when said coin is tossed. Without creation or beginning, there can be no evolution of time, or self, showing past or present or future. Religion is the spiritual reflections of simple faith while science is proof of said faith through measured observations.

Answer 6

Religion IS Science ! Outdated science . Religion is slow to acknowledge new science because people that depend on these organizantions ,which claim to have all the (comforting) answers, have anxiety over change ( They have fear of the change being a wrong thing ) , and they need a reliable "security blanket" .

Answer 7

Aristotle was long dead before Christianity even began, and was one of the people that offered a proof that the Earth is stationary. You are thinking of Copernicus.

Most of what is important in religion is claimed to be experiential (mystical experiences, etc.). If this is the case, then empirical science seems perfectly suited to examine these claims. Thus, all we need for knowledge is science.

Answer 8

They're only saying it's not a planet because they changed the definition.
I accept science over religion because scientists don't say anything without evidence to back it up. And any scientist that makes outragous claims is shot down quickly.
This is not true with religion.

Answer 9

Science. Religion evolved from mankind mistranslating the God Yahweh's scientific based scripture found mostly in the book of Leviticus.

Answer 10

Science & religion are like oil and water. Trying to prove "god" via science has always failed miserably. People of faith would be wise to leave science to scientists and keep their faith personal. That way they've nothing to prove.
