does science aporoach us to the idea of god?

yes,when scientists discover great things that existed in holy qur'an or any blessed books like the calving that existed in the moon, which guide that the moon had been divided to two half and get back to his natural state in the past or like that we can't see any thing or any of planets(sun,moon..etc) or stars in the sky if we overpass specific layer of earth's layers when we are going to the space.both two previous things -we- Muslims are knew them from 1400 years ago because it's existed in the holy qur'an(القرآن الكريم)\nex:the guide of the calving in the moon is\n{بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم {اقتربت الساعة *و انشق القمر        \nin english: in the name of Allah {the afterlife day is getting near * and the moon was calved}\ntherefor when i knew that miracles my faith in god(Allah) will have more supporting,stronger,I will forgot the idea or question that say :"is the god(Allah)existed or no??? ",I will do more praying,or any thing that arrived me to the paradise .\nthank you\nfriend,hasan

Hell no. \n\nScience alludes to a rigorous process by which things are proven to be fact.\n\nAnything that is a matter of speculation (religion) cannot be considered scientific.\n\nHowever there is such a thing as the science of religion which is a sort of sociology. But this is sociology -- the scientific study of human behavior. \n\n It is not science like biology, physics, chemistry, calculus. Science is inherently unbiased, and non-subjective.\n\nAny religios text, Im afraid to say does not fall into any type of 'science' category. It may be studied in a Sociological or Philosophical context for enrichment purposes.\n\nI dont think anyone hates the Quran, or any religios text, rather I think that people dont like it when other people impose their views on them. There are 6 billion people in this world each with their own version of religion, we cant go around calling everyone infadels becaues they dont believe in the same things we do. \n\nI wouldnt want to live in a world where everyone was the same -- it would be boring.\n\nAs unpopular as Muslims may seem to be, let not the fact ellude you that catholics, mormons, christians, hindus, daoist, yoga hippies, all get their fair share of dislike. \n\nI mean take in the U.S. for example, most people dont like how the religious people try to impose their silly ideas of anti-abortion and creationism on the rest of us. \n\n At the end of the day there is always someone who doesnt like someone else (more Sociology) for some silly reason.\n\nI personally do not like people who are overly religious, and use religion to explain everything they dont understand, while there are perfectly good scientific reasons out there. In my humble opinion, religion and education are contradictory.\n\nAlas, despite our differences we must learn to get along.

Science does not really "prove" anything. All science does is produce theories that try to explain the data we have from experiments or observations. All theories are eventually expected to be superceded by better theories that explain more of the data. \n\nIt is a matter of interpretation whether the data we have can be explained by the existence of God or not. There is no solid consensus. \n\nAlso, normally science just deals with the natural world, and avoids supernatural causes. Once one is postulating supernatural causes, it is not science.

I don't believe the concept of god was invented as a conspiracy.  It simply evolved from the anthropomorphization of ancient astronomy.

No. God createth and God taketh away. If you're going look at everything from a human or modern perspective, you'll run into much error.

I don't think Science disproves the existence of God.  In fact, though I don't follow any religious practices or organizations, Science led me to what some might call a God figure.  Afterall, If the Universe as we know it was once a singularity before the big bang.  Could we not call that singularity...God?  Therefore everything that exists in the Universe, is a piece of God.  \n\nMost people assume God made the Earth.  But I say the Earth is made of God.  It was no conscious effort, in fact, in all likliness it was probably attempted suicide that cause the big bang.  But slowly God will be pieced back together due to gravity and who knows what will happen then.\n\nIt's not riddled with Prostituion, Lepers, and holy wars like modern religions.  But atleast it makes sense.  \n\nThe man who searches for God doesn't really want to ever find the answer, for it might scare him to death.  He wants, simply, to search.  The man who studies science is specifically concerned with results and answers, but fears not to pose new and original questions.

Why propose a question you do not believe in?  Secondly, scientist have proven that the univers is expanding from a central point?  Why do you think this is...Do you think God push things outward to make more room?\n\nBesides if god created us, then who created god?

Personally I don't reject the idea, but I don't exactly embrace it, either.  \n\nLet me pose this to you:  If there are an infinite number of universes, and let's say, just for now, that there is a Divine Creator, did this ONE being create the infinite universes you describe?  Or are there in infinite number of this Creator?\n\nNext thought:  If, for every action/thought/possibility there is a separate universe, on how many of them would you actually exist?  On how many universes did life on Earth actually form (assuming evolution)?  \n\nLastly:  Take the statement that there are an infinite number of possibilities and that what we perceive from instant to instant is merely what we have CHOSEN to perceive at that instant, is there a separate universe created for each of those possibilities which are not perceived, or, because they aren't perceived (therefore not "real") do they fail to "launch" a separate universe?\n\nIf you haven't noticed, I find the ideas of possiblity incredibly fascinating. \n\nI hope I didn't make your brain explode!

Nope.  But if we could fully understand/explain God He wouldn't be much of a God.\n\nIsaiah 55:8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. \n\nIsaiah 55:9  For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

That's more a question for the Philosophy section.  In the Religion section, you're speaking to people who believe... and are therefore not likely to believe God is anything but Truth.\n\nBut to answer the question more directly, we have no way of knowing.  There's no palpable proof of God, but no one knows if there's a God or not.  Maybe so, maybe no.  We'll either find out or blink out, eventually.  My guess is that we'll sort of be non-sentient energy that eventually goes back into something living.  But you might get to be part of a star first, or churn through a volcano.\n\nBut no one knows.  People have faith and believe they know, but no one knows for sure one way or the other.  :)

Science is by nature empirical, if you can't observe or quantify something then it cannot be studied scientifically. For this reason, God cannot be proven scientifically (and technically, science can't disprove God, as you can never prove a negative), as you can't observe Him.\n\nThis is not to say that science and God are mutually exclusive. If God exists, and if His actions were observable then it would be studied scientifically.

It depends on your point of view.\nSometimes, some people feel that "God" is merely a device to keep us humanity in check, something that we have concocted to explain all the mysteries and unexplainable (in our current era. There might be an explanation much later.) stuff which happens in our lifetime.\nIt is plausible. People used to think flying was impossible, forget the flying machines. Air conditioning? How about all the laws of Physics that led to so many wonderful creations? They used to think that such things were unthinkable, magic, strange, impossible.\nBut never say IMPOSSIBLE, because we don't know what is and what isn't possible. \nJust a few centuries ago we all thought the Earth was flat.\n\nSome people, think and feel God is the God in our Scriptures. After all, they feel, the people of the past were much purer than the people today.\n\nSome people think that God is merely a presence in the world, an omni-present entity with powers of the unknown, and no apparent good or evil intentions, just there.\n\nIt's all up to what your heart tells you, and what you feel you can believe truthfully without deceiving yourself. Just be honest to yourself, that's all - you don't need people to justify, give a reason or judge you for what you believe in.\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)

God is full of surprises to us.  In our 3 dimensional world, we can't begin to fathom the wonders and surprises of God.  Maybe billions of years in the future, after we have travelled the universe, we will have enough knowledge of God to predict  God's intentions.   I doubt if we'll ever know enough to predict God's actions.

Science deals with the natural world.  It cannot prove the existence of the supernatural.\n\nHowever... science, rational thought, and logic can disprove the existence of some god or gods.  For example, Zeus and his cronies were supposed to hang out on Mount Olympus.  We can concretely say that Mount Olympus is not the home of the gods.  We have disproved the greek gods.  Likewise, you can logic and reason to disprove the christian god.  However... most people have a blind spot towards this information.  That's fine.  You can believe in whatever you want... provided you are not a danger to yourself or others.

god may exist depending on your religeous  beliefs.same goes for the devil.however if your a bit skeptical of these beliefs you may be one of those other people who belive science provides an explanation to everything.

yes definitely\n\nthere are some questions that science just cant provide answers to, and until we have scientific proof of everything (which i dont personally think will ever happen, but thats just my opinion) there will always be room for religion.\n\nand anyway - religion provides existence with a meaning. if we just took a scienfitic view - we are born, we exist, we die. and thats it. so whats the point? why bother being nice to people?  why bother with trying to gain respect/earn money/build relationships? sure we're all going to die anyway.\n\nor at least, thats what science says. religion begs to differ.\n\nand by the way - before anyone criticises me - im a scientist.

You know something, you are very uninformed. For you information:\n\nMost scientists believe in some sort of creator or deity. There is a simple explanation for this, and that is science can incorporate the idea of the supernatural since there are places that science cannot go.\n\nThe creation of the universe is one of them. Science can explain all the way back to 10^-43 seconds, but before that there is no explanation, there is only the unknown that is just as well explained as God as any other theory. So God and science are not at odds here, as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking would agree\n\nSpeaking of my great, great, uncle, several times removed Albert Einstein, he is quoted as saying "God does not play dice with the universe." What he meant by this was a repudiation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, because to Albert the universe was a beautifully ordered and created place, created by God.\n\nSome scientist see God in randomness (Heisenberg). Others see it in harmonies of patterns and chaos (Glick and Mandelbrot). Even Darwin still credited God for creating the universe, though he sought scientific explanations for the evolution of species.\n\nThese men were/are fervent men with fervent beliefs. The fact that they deal in science in no way impedes their beliefs in God.\n\nNow, that being said, what you believe God did or does may not be the same thing that these men believe, maybe because they understand Gods universe better, maybe because they are more open minded than to narrow their vision to a few hundred pages of a book, a book that is interpreted many different ways so that who knows which version is right, if any. But when it comes down to it, they believe in God in one form or another, and maybe their views are more enlightened than most.\n\nYou can count me with them, by the way, as I take a more scientific view of the world. I am Deist, what that means is I believe in God as a first cause. I believe that God set the beautifully intricate stage, that we are still trying to understand, and let it be, to run the way it will, a universe of detail ever unfolding.\n\nBTW I gave you a thumbs up on the question, because while it was indelicate, it was thought provoking and deserved an answer, even if it was mostly my opinion.
