1. Not really because Science is flawed. "Yesterday", it claimed caffeine caused cancer. "Today" it claims caffeine may prevent some types of cancer.
2. Maybe. I realize science is flawed, but I'm always searching for the best available explanation. This, in no way deletes God from the equation. Trying to understand the Creator is impossible.
3. Other. Thank you in advance for explaining.

Definitely. Man has not changed since Adam and Eve was willing to disobey God to find out more wisdom. This is human nature and really nothing wrong with that. (except in that one crucial instance).
God made man curious creatures. We had to be in order to learn how to protect ourselves from the elements of the earth. And understand plants and animals that were both good for us and bad for us.
The discipline of science is great but can be flawed by man. For man can be biased about the facts he has.
Edit for ICToA. Even though I don't believe in the in the movie Quest for Fire I still found it entertaining and quite profound and moving.

I feel your agony! Yes it does and my pastor is a Medical Physician. People and their understanding of Scripture and science can be flawed, in their teaching. Our minds are Limited and according to Scientists, we Human beings use about 10% of our Brain's capacity. Nobody can claim to Know It All..Science Changes if you had not noticed. If some had their way, they would still be teaching that the Earth is Flat.
I hope the information below helps you in your qwest for information...Happy New Year

My faith: Christian (fundamentalist).
The answer: yes, but with a reservation. As a scientist myself, I am well aware of the inaccuracy of scientific theories over the centuries - indeed, many well-accepted theories of the last century have been proven false. Thus, I am happy to accept all scientific *evidence* and all scientific *proofs*, but I am, from a purely scientific view, skeptical of most scientific theories. It never ceases to amaze me how TV news and school teachers portray science theory as if it were science fact. I think there are more people who place their faith in unproven scientific theories than there are people who place their faith in religion. What's worse, they place their *unquestioning* faith in these theories. Totally backwards.

3. Definitely.
Being religious doesn't mean believing in any of known Gods.
I think God is just a word for the unknown and powerful.
I believe in God but don't even try to explain it to myself.
The fact that we all search for what we don't know one or other way proves that subconsciously we know of our origin.
Through science and religion both we discover the unknown as we evolve.

Islam and science are inseparable.
Islam encourages the quest for knowledge, both of this world and of the Hereafter.

I love science. The more science advances, the more complexities we see, all the more proof of a Creator.

Men have many thoughts , names and explanations for God.
He is beyond explanation but man had done his best to describe that which created our uncertain reality.
Let us agree to give God the credit for creation. If not let us agree to disagree.
I am open to all information and discern it with my intellect, as you may as well and I would advise you to do so.
Science has many theories. Even facts as we know them can be an illusion.
We can only do the best we can with the tools available. The fruit of the tree of knowledge is in the search for it.

Yes, ever heard about conflict between Islam and science. However I won't have blind faith in scientific theories specifically designed to support atheism.

3. I do accept scientific information, but I also don't trust atheistic scientists to always make an unbiased conclusion from the facts. When they find evidence that does not support evolution, they bend over backwards to try to explain it away, or they bury it and ignore it. Therefore, I try to investigate things from both secular and Christian/creationist scientists and judge for myself what they are saying.
