Does science have to do with religion?

Religion and science are indeed incompatible. Religion and science both offer explanations for why life and the universe exist. Science relies on testable empirical evidence and observation. Religion relies on subjective belief in a creator.

Is it a sin to question the Bible?

The Bible encourages us to take our supplications and requests to him including questions. Questioning God is not a sin. God created us with a free will and an inquiring mind. He never said anything to us about not questioning Him.

Which religion is close to science?

Buddhism and science have been regarded as compatible by numerous authors. Some philosophic and psychological teachings found in Buddhism share points in common with modern Western scientific and philosophic thought.

Who wrote God vs science?

One of my problems with Dan Dennett’s book is that he acts as if this is a new thing. “Gosh, we should really be studying religion as a natural phenomenon.” As if we haven’t been already. The question is whether evolutionary theory can succeed, where previous approaches have failed.

Is science a belief?

Science is an ‘open belief system’ – the data collected by scientists are open to testing by others. Research findings can thus be criticized. In contrast, religions tend to have ‘closed belief systems’ – religious knowledge is generally regarded as sacred, and should be accepted as is, rather than challenged.

Does science disprove the existence of God?

A number of recent books and articles would have you believe that—somehow—science has now disproved the existence of God. We know so much about how the universe works, their authors claim, that God is simply unnecessary: we can explain all the workings of the universe without the need for a Creator.

Did the founders of Science believe in God?

The founders of modern science believed in God. In fact, their beliefs motivated them to study the natural world to see how God had designed it. The mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler stated that while doing science he was “thinking God’s thoughts after him.”

Can we trust in God without evidence?

This is not a blind faith without good reasons and evidence, but faith requires that we trust in God even though we cannot explicitly prove Him. The person who says there is no God might be unaware of this, but they are also making a decision based on faith.

What is the scientific method and how does it work?

The scientific method relies on observations and repeatable experiments to form hypotheses about the natural world. But science is limited in its conclusions, especially about the past, and can only offer probable (not certain) explanations.
