Has there even been a case in hostory where science and religion conflicted, and religion was right?

Question

Earth is round score 1 for science
Earth is not the center of the universe that's 2
Earth is more than a few thousand years old 3
Humans were not created in their existing form 4

That's 4 -0 by my count

Anyone like to show me where religion was right and science was wrong? One case?

Answer 1

You are confusing Church teaching with the bible.

The bible says the earth is round and hanging on nothing.

The bible doesn't say anything about being the center of anything let alone the universe

The bible doesn't say the earth is only a few thousand years old.

Science once said rabbits don't have cud's
Science now says rabbits do have cuds. which the bible said along.

The bible said to quarantine the ill
The bible said one should wash their hands after touching dead ones.

These medical practices have only been recognized in the last 100 years.

Actually the bible is not a science text book, but where it touches on science, it has always been proved accurate.

Answer 2

Has there ever been a case where an absurd doctrine followed by billions of people was recognized as such, and instantly abandoned?

Of course not. Christianity (like all religions) will slowly erode and fall away as humans become enlightened logically, through the acquisition of scientific knowledge.

Rest assured, they will not go down quietly. Religions will persist, kicking and screaming as the billions who follow them become millions, then thousands, and eventually wheezing their dying breaths with tiny cult followings of mere hundreds of poor fools, who will cling to their ancient delusions not unlike the "flat earthers" of today.

Answer 3

Earth does not stand on pillars 5

Rabbits do not chew their cud 6

Bat are not birds 7

3 is not the value of PI 8

Snakes do not eat dust 9

If the flood actually happened science tells us that all vegetative life would have been destroyed and thus any alleged grazing animals on the ark would have starved to death. 10

Answer 4

You're wrong. The Bible doesn't state any of those things. That's 0-0.

New Question: Has the ancient Bible been found to be more scientifically incorrect than science has proved itself to be?

Answer 5

I don't think so, if you're religious, you have faith in what you are taught, and you can't believe it's wrong. Their is no system of proving truths in religion, you simply believe what comes from the top down, or you don't and you get ostracized for it.

Science is different, science provides a framework where objection is welcome, all for the purpose of finding the 'truth' or the best answer.

Answer 6

You forgot to add:
Prayer has been statistically shown not to work: 5-0
Snakes do not actually eat dust: 6-0
Pi does not equal three: 7-0
Insects have six legs, not four: 8-0

>Anyone like to show me where religion was right and science was wrong? One case?

Sorry, I can't think of any right at the moment. :\

Answer 7

Only people who need to prove something that they can see need a score board. Christians have Faith and believing .Faith in God not faith in science.Let me ask you something who created science ? Who saw to it that scientists have enough sense to learn?Where did you come from and who gave you the ability to read and write?This scientific facts that you bring about have just as many loopholes as you say religion does So you keep your scoreboard and your opinion and Ill keep my faith in God.Why do you bother trying to prove anything? You have science don't you have all the answers already? I'm almost certain this answer will get me a nasty note but oh well when you opened the door by asking such a dumb question you asked for this and when I answered the way I feel I opened my door for stupid replies OH Well So Be It.

Answer 8

But wait, there's more!

1. The earth was created BEFORE the sun and stars.

2. Plants were also created BEFORE the sun. Silly photosynthesis theories!

3. Fowls (birds) have four legs.

Answer 9

humm...

book of fairy tales vs. the scientific method.

There must at least be a couple of ties....

I pick the talking snake, that was cursed to forever slither on it's belly. Science has yet to recreate the talking snake, so that has to be it, and besides what else could possibly explain an animal with no legs?

Answer 10

If you ever get a point in the religion column it sure as hell wouldn't be due to anything remotely resembling the scientific method.

I'm going with guess.
