It think you have got it right. The idea that science and religion are polar opposites is silly. I believe they can co-exist nicely.

Religion is made up stuff.
Science is the pursuit of truth, though research.

Well put, Dan the man : )

Answer 4

Not even if you ask the question twice.

Answer 5

Science is the part of religion dear. By understanding the religion you can understand science. science exits even if you are related to no religion.. but still it is a part of it whether you have the knowledge or not.

Answer 6

Yea of course. Science explains the world around us using logic and reasoning. Religion explains the world using "mythical" beings that created everything from the dirt to animals. Science isnt made to disprove religion necessarily, but it is fact. I cant prove that God created fish and and man and the world, but i can prove, with science, that a gas will expand when heated, and that light travels in waves.

Answer 7

Perhaps. And we are all still trying to figure out how the pieces of the mysterious puzzle with eventually fit...

Peace be with you.

Answer 8

The relationship between religion and science takes many forms as the two fields are both extremely broad. They employ different methods and address different questions. The scientific method relies on an objective approach to measure, calculate, and describe the natural/physical/material universe. Religious methods are more subjective (or intersubjective in community), relying on varying notions of authority, ideas believed to have been revealed, intuition, belief in the supernatural, individual experience, "reasoned" (in a dogmatic sense) observations about life or the universe or a combination of these to understand the universe. Science attempts to answer the "how" and "what" questions of observable and verifiable phenomena; religion attempts to answer the "why" questions of value, morals and spirituality. However, some science also attempts to explain such "why" questions, and some religious authority also extends to "how" and "what" questions regarding the natural world, creating the potential for conflict.

Answer 9

Religion provides people with the answers Science hasn't found yet.

However, I don't believe they're the two sides of the same coin; and the fact that Science hasn't found all the answers yet, doesn't mean that it won't do it sooner or later;)

Answer 10

I believe they can co-exist but will always be somewhat seperate--science is based on being able to "prove" things... religion is based on faith of things "not seen" ..

Answer 11

Answer 12

Religions are invented(by man) to streamline our way of life.
So a perfect life styled Scientist who believes in no religion can still come out wit good contribution in the field he had chosen.That is a perfect possibility.Isn't?
So Science can exist even without Religion.Religion can only offer better results when mend with Science.But not a must.......

Answer 13

Religion is the product of Human being whereas science is one of the organ of nature and perpetual. Religion divide the community but science is knowingly or unknowingly serve universe not earth,sun or any planet but whole cosmic. Without science nature can not be activate.

Answer 14

Without religion, can science exist? Sure. Why not? I think that there is a spot in our brains for science and another for religions. An acutal physical location for both (and recent neurologic studies bear me out on that one). I think that science has tended to push religion into a place where faith is necessary. Faith is belief without proof. Science seeks proof through expirimentation. I don't think you needed faith prior to the Age of Reason. Science pushed religion into such a place where the only fallback position was faith. Before that, Religion was science, because there were no other explanations for the world. So, perhaps without science, religion would not require faith. But science can assume that God doesn't exist and move on without Him or religion. Religion can go ahead and explain things without the need for science. So neither needs the other. But science has had an effect on religion (and history shows us that Religion has had an affect on science).

Are they two sides of the same coin? I don't get the metaphor. As I said, I believe that there is a religios part of the brain and a scientific or rational part. The parts are separate. Sometimes religion uses the rational side of the grain for things. Perhaps the scientific part of the brain uses the religious neurons for some tasks. Perhaps one could say that each is a different way to explain the world. But science explains the what and the how and Religion tells us the why and who. I don't think they compliment each other in quite the way your question suggests they do.

Answer 15

I don't think they are related at all. Religion believes it has the right answer and questioning it is a sin. Science believes it has the wrong answers but the right questions and that questioning is an imperative. The difference is both deep and fundamentally different.

Answer 16

religions are fairy storys science deals with fact

Answer 17

Religion is moral/social code of conduct aimed at creating experience in the realms of consciousness.
Science is observations/classification of varifyable phenomena.
Religion leads to spirituality, which is in NON MATTERIAL DOMAIN and is always UNIQUE for each individaul, where as science goes for varifyble generalization...

Are they just the different sides of the same coin?

I think spirituality starts where science ends.

The greatest scientist albert ainstine stated at the end of his scientific journy that i know as little as speck of dust on this vast beach...He also respected greatness of non violence principal as propounded by mahatma gandhi...

Science should not as it can never explain consciousness...
Religion is the path that helps evolving consciousness...

Answer 18

Never!religion is absolutely stupid and science is real.
