Sounds good. As a Mormon it's my firm hope that someday science and religion will both evolve to meet and come to terms. The bible isn't a perfect book and scientific theories are continuously retested and improved. We should all strive to be humble and recognize our faults and weaknesses.

Science and religion are diametrically opposed, though. They will never meet, unless religions stops being faith-based and/or science stops being evidence-based.
-
To a lot of people, science and religion have merged already.

Edited by Vicex: 4/1/2015 12:55:00 AMLike those who think creationism gave birth to evolution? Great- now you have just diluted the purity that is science. You have just taken hundreds of years of work that used evidence to produce a sound theory... And just undermined that theory's integrity by adding to it something that has no facts whatsoever backing up the claim.. This weakening the overall theory. Science and religion have no place together any more than science and superstitions do.
-
No, today people pick and choice certain things they want to believe in. You can be religious yet believe in evolution.

Edited by Vicex: 4/1/2015 12:59:40 AMSo long as they remain separate from one another. You want to be a scientist? Awesome! But keep your religious beliefs out of your work- because that undermines the integrity of your work. Humans are interesting creatures in that one person can have conflicting opinions on the same subject... You may believe that some Silly God created life personally, but scientifically believe evolution is the way things happened... And so long as you can keep that distinction all is well (despite how baseless your personal beliefs may be) but the moment you merge those two lives... Game over
-
Exactly. I thought you were trying to say scientists can't be religious.
-
No- I may not be a fan of it.. But they can be. And it doesn't present a huge problem unless they let it interfere with there work.. Ken Ham is a great example of what happens when you let the two mix (mind you- he's not a true scientist, but attempts to use his brief scientific knowledge to develop more sophisticated arguments in an attempt to make them sound far more plausible than thy actually are).

In Christianity, if the second coming were to occur and Christ returned with power and glory then belief in Christ as a deity would be both evidence and faith based. Scientists could observe Christ and observe that he is able to do things they previously thought impossible.
-
Mormons are Christians?...
-
Yes. I believe in Christ and try to follow his example.

[quote]Theyll meet and come to terms[/quote] Ummm...... They have

Yeah if there is a god I don't see any reason as to why science can't merge with religion. If there is a god I think science will be able to prove it real. It may take a very very very long time or it could be tomorrow. Nothing is impossible and anything currently we beileve could be wrong.
