I believe that you can support both. Challenge me, if you dare.

So the contradiction that I pointed out in the OP doesn't exist? How can you simultaneously support the scientific method while supporting faith-based religion?

Edited by Banned n3rd: 10/29/2013 5:35:47 PMScience, at its simplest, is knowledge gained by experimentation. This could be as simple as someone pushing buttons on their new remote control to try and get their TV to work. Furthermore, part of science is being open to new ideas, like a round earth, the cells theory, and others that seemed completely crazy at one time, but now are common belief. Religion is the belief in a deity or other divine force. It does not prevent people from learning about the world around them. Religion deals with the spiritual and the supernatural. These are outside the domain of science. I'm not saying that there is not conflict between the two. There is. This conflict, however, has nothing to do with the nature of religion or science. It is caused by people who refuse to be civil around people with different beliefs. It is caused by people who make generalizations about groups based on the actions of few. Religion and science do not peacfully coexist, but they easily could, if people would stop looking for a fight.

Not really a relevant assertion; the religious worldview and the scientific worldview are logically contradictory.
-
If you define science as belief in the Big Bang and evolution, then you would be correct.
-
... No, if you define science by what it is, then I am correct.
-
What is it, then?
-
Religion is the rejection of knowledge acquisition through evidence in favour of "certainty" through faith. Science rejects the latter in favour of the former.
-
No. Science is understanding of the physical world. Religion deals with the spiritual world. Neither one can have any effect on the other.
