Are science and religion compatible?

Yes

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.

  • No. When a Scientific theory is proven true by evidence it is fact. When a scientific theory is proven false by evidence it is discarded or reviewed. When a religious belief is proven false (read: Galileo!) words like 'heretic' get thrown around. When a religious belief is proven true; well damn, I'd love this water to be wine. But only after I walk on it. [b]Its called EVIDENCE people![/b] (And I don't need to be religious to wish peace and love to all. And I do.) Fin
