is it unscientific to believe in god?

well thats true my friend. i have here in my hand a christian booklet that divulges scientists disbelief in the existence of God, although superficially put and I quote, "Some may feel that the more scientists learn, the further they get from any belief in God, It is true there are many in the scientific community who scorn religious faith. But a significant number of other find themselves deeply impressed by the evidence pointing to the design in the natural world around us. Other scientists wonder more than design; they begin to think about the Designer." so there, the significant other are thinking not just the design but the Intelligent Designer as well. They (significant other scientists) are just afraid of peer pressure and the trademark sealed on their scientific mind that they are gullible on the well founded dogma that there exist really an Intelligent Creator of this Universe

I think we can not generalise God and science infact Sir Issac newton wrote more aboiut bible than he wrote about science-recently science have also started accepting the fact that there are things which human mind can not comprehend and explain. here is the list of famus scientists who believed inGod: http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/sciencefaith.html the list comprises of names like Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and many others. read their views also please read this article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/23/national/23believers.html?ex=1282449600&en=affec45468b0ff25&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

yeah, the original scientist and the Great Intelligent Designer. I should have given the best response to you but something still is lacking. will you please elaborate some more. Good Luck and im honored to be your firend!:-)

I'm not quite sure on where I have read about it, but it tells something about God's one day to be equivalent to millions of years...therefore, the Book Genesis itself has also a scientific basis. It takes millions of years for an atom to combine with another inorder to produce another more complex form, and so on and so forth. So that even before the universe has begun, different elements were already present to produce the star which we call "sun" ...hence the phrase... "Let there be light..." and there because of the presence of light and the energy present in it, chemical reactions emerged to produce other things such as air and water ...and...so on and so forth. For me, God Himself is not the universe, but rather He is the Power that Controls everything within or even beyond the universe. Nothing is more powerful than God. He made all things possible. It is therefore wrong to say that it is unscientific to believe in God. It is more accurate to say that it is ungodly to believe in science alone when we talk of the creation and thereafter. For science would never be present without the source of all powers and that is God. I made you my friend because I could feel the sincerity in you. I am not writing these either because I want to gain the best response in this topic, but rather, I wish to share my views in it. Thank you for being conscientious enough to read through my thoughts, and it is my greatest pleasure to have met you here. I'm looking forward for more meaningful discussions such as these.

science is a systematic and formulated knowledge. natural science collectively, is the systematic study of the phenomena of the material universe and their laws. (the reader's digest great encyclopaedic dictionary). Although science is a systematic study of things/natural phenomena, the things researched and/or studied by men called scientists came from an Intelligent Designer which is scorned by some atheistic scientists

is it safe to say then that we are nearing the end of this age? If we consider skeptics who scorns the existence of God are now converted believer. Are we now going to the ultimate degeneration and the coming of the Millenium?

Thanks for your comments, i think ill refresh my memory on the book of revelation and the Gospel of Matthew. And yes, somebody here also recommend to me the Left behind Series. I think ill buy that also.

yes, I think we are getting close. I won't even pretend to be able to guess when Jesus will come again, because no one really knows. I don't think Jesus himself will know untill God says 'now'. Read Matthew chapter 24. It gives you all the clues to the end times. Revelation tells what will happen durning the last 7 years. Also I recamend the Left Behind series. There are 12 books all together, but they are very well writen and very easy to get into. The authors actually give you the verses they used to create the time line so you can look them up and make sure they got it right according to the bible.

you are correct there my friend. the entire universe cannot exists thru mere coincidence. So i am in agrrement with uour comment that here really is a Divine Creator an Intelligent Designer, repsonsible for all these unexplained phenomena

I agree with this. God created the world and all the scientific principles in it. Without God there would be no science.

well my friend science is one of the by=products of religion. diverse religious denominations, believe in the existence of one God. Some scientist's scorn in religion and the non-existence of God is unfounded. "Our existence here in this world is a mere quirk of fate is beyond belief... an incidental blip in the great cosmic drama"
