I have never seen the problem with science and religion. Certain things taught by science does conflict with some religious teachings, evolution being a hot topic, but that is small aspects. Still, science is a process. Most of the things science has once believed has been discovered to be wrong, but that is part of the process. We thin X, find out that X is wrong, but that a small portion of it is true and build off of that. Heck, most of what science teaches today is probably wrong and we won't find out for a hundred years. Yet, from these fallacies we find some truth and continue to expand our knowledge of the physical universe. How does understanding the universe conflict with religion?

  • I personally believe in a higher power and the way I view science is how said power works in the universe and that we're trying to study and understand it... A long time ago I saw a show displaying how stories in the Bible could be scientifically explained, such as the plagues. Personally I don't know why more religious people view science in the way of understanding how God, or a God, or whatever they religiously believe, deals with matters. Maybe they just fear in letting an old belief go.

  • I'm not sure I, personally, would say science is understanding God as much as it is understanding his works. Still, I see your point. They don't have to conflict. Some scientists have actually have used scripture to help them in their work. Heck, many scientists, past and present, are religious. Louis Pasteur, for example, was Christian as well as people who helped map the human genome.
