People are always arguing that only science or a God can be true. Not both, but why not both? I mean how could all that we know as our universe just "BE" without atleast a small nudge from a God? Perhaps he set things in motion and then took a step back to let things naturally run their course?
I'm not very religious and i don't know the bible inside and out, but wasn't the sun created on like the 3rd day or something to that effect?
And if we use the sun to tell what is 1 day, then couldn't the first days have been thousands or millions of years?
Just a thought...
Like i said i'm not that religious so i'm sure i'm missing things, but maybe some of you guys can offer some more knowledgable opinions?

Damn people here are religious
-
Maybe. We do not know.

Edited by Bloom Unknown : 4/26/2015 7:38:00 PMThe problem is that science disproves many religious doctrines as far as their historical/geological accuracy. So you have to ask yourself, how can it be the word of an omnipotent God if it is wrong/false? This doesn't mean God doesn't exist, but to me it means that the religion man has created aren't anywhere near the level of credibility required to depict the "one true God." The more knowledge we have; the closer I feel to the bigger picture. To me, that's God.

Shrek can't coexist with Lord Farqueer so...

If anyone says science and religion are totally at odds then that's ridiculous. The main argument is about the Big Bang and evolution. The fact the universe is so ordered, that all the constants are stable and at a perfect level where if they were slightly altered things just would work at all actually suggests a God.
-
Yeah it's not Like Isaac Newton was at odds or anything
-
If one believes in God, as creator (in His image, even), then to disregard science would be to ignore the gift of reason bestowed upon us. Faith and science can and do coexist.
-
God could have probably created the Universe with science. Just a thought.
-
It's a really interesting subject... both faith and science seem to contradict each other, but in some circumstances, they fit together to actually make sense.
-
I believe that in the end god is going to tell us that he performed all of his miracles using science, and that it just looks like magic to us since the science is so far advanced. Kind of like asgardian science.

I'm fine with people believing in a god as long as they accept known scientific facts as reality.

It can in most of the world. Only some Muslims and a small proportion of mostly American Christians think otherwise.

maybe if people understood that the bible is fake

It's the 15% that are the reason this forum is falling apart. The 60-whatever % doesn't see the need to argue it.

Looks like 68% of people have a brain

Edited by dendrox: 4/26/2015 7:37:43 AMIt all depends on how you think and/or interpret different religions beliefs. For example,If you believe in things like creationism then no but if you believe that creationism is a misconception and that God created us through evolution then yes.

I feel religon has placed the way science went and revolved around eachother on advancing our universe

Edited by Trick-Star: 4/26/2015 6:02:05 AMYes. If people weren't so fu[i]c[/i]king stupid, they could.
-
Yes, it can. What do you think Archimedes did in his spare time?
-
Edited by sola gratia: 4/26/2015 5:10:46 AMThat already kinda happens. People who believe in God and people who believe in science coexist every day, some are reasonable, some are not. As for the thing about God letting things go their own course, that's up to everyone on their own to believe in what they want.
-
Sure. Can science coexist with gods as they are typically shown in religions? No.
