How come (most) scientists are always trying to prove god wrong?

Question

I'm mean just wondering

Answer 1

How come (most) Christians are always trying to prove god right?

Answer 2

A by product of scientists search for explanation - is disproving god exists.

A scientist will seek to find a demonstrative process to explain their argument. Tangible evidence

Religion relays upon mysticism, or 'magic' to fuel it's progress of opinion.

A Religious leader will ask you to believe without question or it will not be so.

Scientist these days proberbly do not feel the need to prove the existence of god any more.

They have hundreds of petri dishes filled with their own creations - They have made thier own animals

If god created this earth and the species on it and that is what makes him who he is. Apparently we accept he no longer controls the weather or we would realise his not that happy.

If creation is the measure of God - stands to reason that man has now become the creator.

While people still follow religion - the common public intelligence is viewed by those in power - as not knowing any better... it leaves us no better off than the peasants of yesteryear.

Rather like a parent doesn't want to tell their child that Santa isn't real as it's one less threat for good behavior...invocative memory's of a child that was easyer to control.

What were actually left with today is not whether there is an omni potent power or not but whether our capability's have boundaries or are limitless.

Which is where the debate of which religion comes in;

other religions Christianity aside - form a more intrinsic picture of life - a pattern of balance...

Also there is the question of ethics - religion is one of the only pressure groups against science - they have thier place in society ... but in my opionion should not be aloud to preach salvation as a beem me up scottie approch.

Answer 3

I think its not science that is proving God wrong. It is the religious devouts that keep questioning science and try to shun it away thinking it as a threat. I've never seen a scientist that purposely says God does not exist or science can solve everything. Science is based on experiments. Why would someone do an experiment on time-space continuum all of a sudden think, "Oh my these things I am learning defy god, Yay." However, I HAVE always see religious people disproving others. Flame me if you want. Just my two cents.

Answer 4

I don't think scientists are "trying" to prove there is no God. It is those of us who do have a very literal religious faith who worry about scientists because our rigid
worldview is easily threatened.
Scientists form hypothesis and work from there to make scientific discoveries.
A true faith in God that is not too rigid will never be frightened about what scientists learn about how our world works. Their discoveries create an awe of the majesty of creation God created. God must never be put into a "box" just to make ourselves feel comfortable.
My son is a nuclear physicist and he has faith in God.

Answer 5

Religion doesn't mix very well with any other fact type situation. Religion is built on a faith. Faith in something we can't see or touch or prove is the opposite of what science is studying. I believe in God but who can prove that I'm right to do it? Only God when I die. Your question only implies that the scientists are lacking their own belief in a deity.

Answer 6

I don't think that is true. In fact, scientists called "cosmologists" who study the universe search for a grand unifying equation that will unite the laws of gravity, electromagnetic radition, and the forces of the atom. Einstein, and many others believe that there is a single equation that will explain these different phenomenon. Some call this equation "The God Equation" since it will explain everything. There are off course scientists who hate organized religion for various reasons. But they are just angry that they don't get enough grant money.

Answer 7

You're a bit confused. Scientists have no need to prove god "wrong," by which I assume you mean that god doesn't exist. It is rather for the believers to show evidence that there is a god. They have none.
Scientists try to learn how the world--the universe--works. They are not satisfied to say, "This is too difficult to understand; we'll never figure it out. Let's just say god did it."
And, Daslok, I dispute your assertion that "most" scientists believe in a higher power. Most--including Einstein, Steelhead--do not believe in the personal god that you are thinking of.

Answer 8

Most people, including scientists, try to 'disprove' God because they don't want anyone "telling them what to do". (Read Romans Chapter 1)

Many people (including scientists) cling to the evolution theory, even though it has been proven wrong by several different means (the Laws of Thermodynamics, radioactive carbon equilibrium in the atmosphere, etc) so that they can try to justify living their lives without any rules (the Bible).

No scientific discovery or breakthrough, unless it has been misinterpreted or misrepresented, has disproven anything in the Bible. These discoveries or breakthroughs in most cases CONFIRM the Bible's teachings.

Answer 9

scientists try to sift through human perceptions of God to find tangible truths. Just because some of the things they discover may not agree with religious beliefs only means that humans aren't 100% correct about who or what God is. No surprise there.

Answer 10

Your question is based on a false premise. Most scientists don't even address the question of God except on a personal basis. The existence and nature of God are issues of faith, not science.

Answer 11

Not everyone supports Evolution

5. Biologists have a culture where Evolution is accepted. Any serious questions about other possibilities are met with greater Bias and Bigotry that Rosa Parks trying to sit at the front of a bus. There are a lot of people in the scientific community who do not have faith in Evolution any more. But if they speak up about it, their jobs and reputation will be on the line. Does this sound like an open-minded scientific community to you?

I do not have a problem with open-minded scientists who considers the possibility of evolution. What I have a problem with is the closed-mindedness emanating from 'scientific' institutions that resembles the Catholic Church trying to stop Galileo.

The great irony in all of this is that Secular Europe was a knee-jerk reaction to the Dark Ages imposed upon Europeans by the ignorance and prejudices of the Catholic Church. A monstrous political organization that REFUSED to even consider other ideas, and wanted everything they said to be taken as gospel truth.

Evolutionists have become the very thing they despised about the Catholics.
