Are there some questions that theology can answer but science can`t?

Question

Sympless - Theology is the study of the mind? I thought that was psychology?

Lucifer - Replace theology with philosophy and you`ve got one hell of an answer

Answer 1

Theology predated science and science was created to prove the philosphy of theology. Science is the essential tool used to determine what we percieve as reality, as theology is the idea field from which the questions may stem from.

Answer 2

Some questions of hope can be addressed by theology when science is lacking. This is qualified by the investment of faith in the theology, of course, but even so, there are some situations where rationally there is no hope, yet theological belief has sustained people. I always think of the man who was my mother's friend; he had been born at Auschwitz, his parents were incarcerated there at the time of his birth, and he spent the first few years of his life there.

What sustained his family was his parents' faith.

Answer 3

Theology is not an answer to anything. Science has answers, it just doesn't have all of them yet. The idiot religious seem to think that we should know everything right this second in order for it to be right. But things don't work that way. Religion is the easy way out. All you say it "gawd diddit" and leave it at that. Science doesn't do that. Science requires actual work. People don't like work and most are incredibly intellectually lazy so they aren't willing to do what it takes to actually understand what it is science is talking about.

Theology has no answers. Science does.

Answer 4

At this point in time science can not answer everything. But theology sure as hell could not and should not even be in the same sentence as science!

Answer 5

If there's one thing theology is not short of, it's answers.
Now, whether those answers are LOGICAL, BELIEVEABLE, USEFULL, or in ANY way make since at all, is another story.
In science, it's OK to say, I don't have enough data, or I don't know at this time.
Preachers will never say that.

Answer 6

How does faith come to someone? technological knowledge shows that faith is a measurement of human perception originating contained in the temporal lobe of the mind. The temporal lobe contributes to the human auditory, speech, reminiscence, emotional reaction and seen perception. This wasn't regular till the initiating of the twenty first century. The Bible tells us this to boot in Romans 10:17 "therefore, faith comes from listening to the message, and the message is heard by the understand Christ."

Answer 7

Proof of God.

God keeps that. Theology can even be blind to Him, it depends on the Theologian.

Answer 8

Theology is a study of the mind of God. What questions can science possibly answer? Science is not God.

Edit:
Yes, the mind of God. When you study the nature of God or things of religion that pertain to Him you are studying that part of Him which has been revealed to man by Him. Man's understanding of God will never be complete outside of who He is. Christian doctrine and practice relates to His mind, not to that of others.
Do you contend that there is such a thing as atheist theology?
That would be quite a contradiction in terms, would it not? How could there be a discussion of theology that is worth two cents if it comes from one who denies the existence of the basis for theology to exist?

Answer 9

Yes, but theology can't provide meaningful answers to those questions.

"It's magic" is an answer, but not a useful one.

Answer 10

"Hey, that looks tough to make; God did it, right?"

Science doesn't even touch upon supernatural explanations, therefore it wouldn't answer the question of "God did it, right?"

It may provide a completely plausible and factual explanation of precisely by which natural means such a thing DID come about, but it won't say "yes" or "no" to the "God did it, right?" question.
