Are science and religion compatible?
Personally, I find the idea of simultaneous support for both religion and science wholly incompatible. Here's my thought process:
- Scientists support the [url=http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/overview_scientific_method2.gif]scientific method[/url].
- Faith-based religion conflicts with the scientific method, as religion skips/ignores steps in the scientific method.
- One cannot support the scientific method while simultaneously supporting faith-based religion.
One cannot truly support both science and religion; you're compromising your support in one or the other.
Thoughts? Explain your position.

4 RepliesI believe that the two are wholly compatible. We do not yet understand the many secrets of the universe... at all, and some of the things we are only just beginning to unravel are absolutely mind boggling. Many strange findings that have been made, the beautiful universe we exist in that looks insanely chaotic at first glance but after further inspection appears to have a kind of clear order to things, I find it hard not to see some kind of intelligent design to things. I can understand you not believing in a deity of some sort, but I don't really understand how you find that science and religion are incompatible or how faith in a deity will certainly compromise one's understanding of science or vice versa.
