No

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.

  • Yes, I believe they are. Religion isn't necessarily about finding out how or why things work, but the purpose of such things. It's about finding peace with yourself. They may both be about finding answers, but honestly, they're finding answers to different questions, if that makes any sense.
