Science v. Religion: what are your thoughts?

Can't we all just get along? We are the same, no?

Update:

Tasty Cakes, that's hilarious.

Panther, Scientology has nothing to do with science, but I appreciate the response.

Susan, my point exactly.

Update 2:

SDD, did you even read my question?

Update 3:

SDD, did you even read my question?

Update 4:

Jody, I don't even know where to begin.

You obviously show a lack of understanding of evolution theory.

I have, however, read the Bible, the Torah, and the Quar'aan. As well as the Vedas, the Bhagavad Gita, and studied Shinto.

    I don't seem them as being "versus" one another.

    I think to argue the subject is crazy itself nobody shakes anybodies beliefs . Also both sides need to realize that just because we can't see something, doesn't mean it's not there.

    Science and theory is very real, most cannot see the concepts. They can be very complicated and non intuitive.

    Even if you don't believe in a certain religion, there is nothing wrong with picking out the best sides of it and learning from it.

    Such a controversial question...Science is ok, as long as people don't let it rule their lives. I enjoy science but I am also considered Christian. I am not a very religious Christian though, I am a spiritual Christian. Scientology is considered a religion so there is a thin line between science and religion in most cases. Was your intentional question more along the lines of Science VS God rather than Science VS Religion?

    Scientology has everything to do with science. "One belief of Scientology is that a human is an immortal alien spiritual being, termed a thetan, that is trapped on planet Earth in a physical body." Pretty much like a ridiculous science fiction belief. "Science" is the root word here.

    My aunts and uncles in Australia are professional doctors and nurses but they still believe in Christianity. They have a ton of religious texts and pictures in their home. I say religion and science should have no problem mixing.

    Religion is manmade and some denominations are pretty pathetic.

    Christianity is not a religion. It is reality.

    Science is God-given as is the universe. Man didn't invent any of it and has no right taking credit for it. Science is a part of man's reality, inasmuch as it allows us to understand the nature of things, in part, a small part.

    No man can explain exactly how electricity or the process of conception and childbirth works. We cannot recreate snowflakes or cure viruses...and any body knows for evolution to be a fact, it would have to be ongoing.

    There would have to remain creatures at all stages of development, half man-half ape, half fish- half-salamander, c'mon...where are they? They don't exist because they never did. DNA should wipe out all theories of evolution.

    Science is one way of exploring the nature of God, that's all, and it's very limited by scientists trying to leave God out of the equation. Man is not nearly so clever as he thinks.

    Why do you have to choose one or the other? We have the option to support either side of any issue - it doesn't have to be all or nothing.
