does religious belifs and science goes hand and hand?

Science will eventually disprove religion

Science of course. Religion is all based on faith, and does not take well to critics. Not only that, there is no way at all to prove what is in the bible or you respective religious book. Some of the stories in the bible are completely devoid of physics. They make no sense. People argue that God could do anything he wanted to and made it the way he/she wanted. I have a counter for that. Why would God, being all good, want to deceive us??? If he made the universe in 6 days, why would he want to make it look like it took billions of years to accomplish.\n\nScience on the other hand is ever changing, and thrives on people trying to disprove it, that is the only way it can verify/disprove itself. \n\nScience and religion are two separate things. Religion gives you guidelines on how to live you life, and answers on morality. Science gives you guidelines on how nature works, and answers to where you came from.

Read a few pages of questions and answers here.  I'd say that 90% of the atheists that say that they are aligned with science, hate religion.  Take some data.  \n\nI do not see any posts from religious people hating science, except a few quacks.  Questions are asked, but that is different than hate.  \n\nAnyways, religion embraces science.  Why?  God is truth and science pursues the truth.   \n\nAs for the rest of what you wrote, methodism is a faith based religion, deism is a mix of philosophy and science, and quatum physics relate to atomic and sub atomic.  With this mix of faith, reality, and the quarky quatum world, well, you might be right.  \n\nHowever, to be right, you have to justify and prove your premises, which could be problematic.  \n\nGood luck.

this is a very wierd statement....\nscientist do not strugle with religion... they do their science.\nI do not understand your point.... science is not interested in religion at all.... it is all about understanding the place where we live.... \nreligion, ... well it is up to you to decide what role it plays in your life.

Just remember, science provides an answer for HOW, religion an answer for WHY. There is no conflict, it's two different parts to an answer for the same question.

one example would be cloning. It ties in both religiously and scientifically because when it comes to religion, only god can make human beings and when it comes to science, it obviously comes to challenge sciences theory. Another would be the creation of anti-matter. This new "weapon" is the most powerfull substance in the world. Just by reading the name you can sort of guess what this stuff is. It a substance that can wipe out unimaginable amount of matter, pretty much everything in this world. The battle between Science and Religion is amazing dude.

That is a simplistic view. I think there are more dynamics involved with there beleifs however. I think with any organized religion.....it cannot be defined with just one sentance.

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.

Religion in regards to Christianity is not opposed to science.  If something scientific is a true, valid fact, it will not be in opposition to the Bible, because Jesus is truth and rooted in history. \n\nThere is no physical energy present.  Both science and the Bible concur on this.  However, the Bible will go on to explain that you do have a soul which will continue on.

Yes, assuming you actually meant "complement" not "compliment". \n\nPhysics will always leave some things unanswered.  No matter how much we understand, there is always another question, and a bit more that is unknown.  Some people find this circumstance uncomfortable. For them, religion can help them feel at ease. \n\nIf you mean as a part of science itself, the answer is "no." though you might say this is a semantic argument.  The moment an empirical observable enters the picture, it becomes a part of science. \n\n For instance, general relativity cannot describe the nature of the universe prior to the planck time.  A theory of quantum gravity is necessary for that.  Until then, one can easily say "God created the cosmic egg which expanded in the Big Bang" but that doesn't really help science move forward.  Eventually, maybe we unify gravity and the other forces and come up with a theory of quantum gravity. That will likely push our understanding closer to the origin, and maybe all the way to the origin of our universe, but probably won't explain the generation of the framework of natural laws that permitted our universe to originate. Again, you have room for a religious ultimate cosmology to explain where that framework came from, and again it does not help the physics at all, but will make some people feel better.\n\nReligion is not a part of the scientific method because it includes suppositions that are not based on the cycle of observe, hypthesize, test, observe. As soon as an element of religion enters that cycle, in my opinion it is a part of Physics.  I suppose you could say that Physics can be a subset of religion, but most religious dogmas conflict with science at some level; it does not have to be this way, but tends to be.  Note that I said "religious dogmas" and not "religions."  As near as I see it, most religions can get along side by side with Physics, it is only when people start making literal interpretations of religious teachings as descriptions of the physical world that they sometimes run afoul of science.

I think most people who believe in Christianity also understand that science has a part in the process as well. Thus, while God may have created the Earth and all, there is still a process of evolution that occurs.

Agreed.  They both can be believed together.  This is another point of evidence that the Fanatics on all sides are the one's making it difficult for others to be open minded.  You have certain Atheists who claim Evolution proves there is no God (Evolution does no such thing... it is not out to prove or disprove the supernatural.)  And then you have those Christians who claim that Creation could not have come about thru Evolution.  Which merely shows me that, though I'm not exactly super-intelligent on the subject of Evolution, but even I know better than to make silly statements such as these.

spiritualists....they tend to ignore the vast majority of reality science all though slow in process will revise even the most fundamental theories and understandings if found to be flawed.  Science is flexible which is why it works so well, most religion is concrete and therefore becomes brittle.

yes they do, the Quran explains the relationship between science and religion, read it (the english version).

Check out Gregg Braden.  He has, in my opinion, successfully merged Science and Religion stating that both are necessary.  No, he does not have all the answers, I don't think anyone does.  But I do feel he is definitely on the right track.

Indeed. God is the best scientist I know. And I hope one day He will give us the set of equations witch explains Him and all. Or at least the "all"...\nReligion and science are the same thing, but wrongly understand. Just like electricity and magnetism. Such different phenomena - and now we know it is the same thing.

it depends on your own metaphysics\n\ngods and devils are on explanation into the unknown.\n\nscience is another\n\nperhaps, today's science will be consider ignorant in the future\n\nperhaps, religion is yesterday's science
