What Is More Important: Science Or Religion? by ChristKid1: 9:57pm On Feb 15, 2013 |
It's an age old question, but I'm curious about how the general public REALLY feel about this subject. Is it true that having faith means denying what has been proven to be scientific fact? Or do science and religion compliment each like many great scientist thought? Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind ... Einstein "Science investigates, religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control." Martin Luther King Jr., What are your thoughts? |

And there is a difference between science and scientism. Often the people given to trying to use 'science' to "debunk" religion are people given to scientism rather than truly to science. Ah, reminds me of something I read somewhere . . . . . http://www.aeonmagazine.com/world-views/michael-ruse-humanism-religion/ For [Julian] Huxley, science was the basis of a ‘religion without revelation’:What the sciences discover about the natural world and about the origins, nature and destiny of man is the truth for religion. There is no other kind of valid knowledge. This natural knowledge, organised and applied to human fulfilment, is the basis of the new and permanent religion. |

JeSoul: Which is more important, water or air?your comparison doesn't fit in well here. Man cannot survive without water or air but can survive without religion. From your quote How does this necessarily reflect negatively on your faith? whether the earth is 6000 yrs or 6billion, the bottom line to a believer should be that faith tells you God made the world - the atomic specifics of how He did so to me are irrelevant - leave that to the scientists!Are you implying that having faith means denying what has been proven to be scientific fact? It doesn't matter or it's irrelevant? I'll check out the links, thanks for your input. |

These religious people are jokers Religion is not important. Man can live a good life without religion. Science on the other hand, is needed for our daily comforts. We are cavemen without science. Science is the reason that I am typing this comment and you are gonna read it. |

Enigma: And there is a difference between science and scientism. Often the people given to trying to use 'science' to "debunk" religion are people given to scientism rather than truly to science.Is there anything wrong with using science to debunk religion? Lots of falsehoods our forefathers believed and some of us still do have been 'debunked' by science. But that's not my question. |

Chris†Kid:and man can also survive without science . But that wasn't the point of my comparison, rather both are important in their own respects. From your quote Are you implying that having faith means denying what has been proven to be scientific fact? It doesn't matter or it's irrelevant? I'll check out the links, thanks for your input.You're welcome sir. And no, I'm certainly noy implying that at all. I'm simply saying faith should focus on religious matters and science should focus on scientific matters - and we should not mix the two. I am a person on science myself - and also a person of faith. Cheers. |

Science has proven it with theory that the earth has survive billion years and religion say its only 6000 years, which of them do you believe folks? |

I think both conflict as they both make metaphysical statements. Science and Christianity/Islam, conflict along naturalism and supernatural lines. Both conflict with what epistemological tools to be used |
