Science, God and Religion!

Science is a process of inquiry into the NATURAL world. Gods, by definition, would be supernatural beings. Not subjected to natural laws. Therefore, it's impossible to try to use science to prove the existance (or not) of a god. That said, if there was some strong and clear evidence that a god exists, I might reexamine my belief. Until then, I see no reason to believe in the existance of any of the gods that several people believe in.

If it were somehow provable, and if it were proven factually, then I'd believe in god. But I still wouldn't believe in religion. After all, even if one could prove god, it doesn't mean that Christians, Muslims, Jews or anyone else is right about what god is like or what god thinks, likes, wants, dislikes, etc.

If somehow science proves the existence of some god (first there must be some agreement on what a god is ), then I will accept the existence. But first, what is a god?

It is the nature of science to investigate the reality of things around us based on scientific approaches of investigations i.e. making abstractions and hypothesis, conduct experiments and evaluate the results and compare. Mankind has been blessed with so many technological advances because of this. Historically, many beliefs have been changed due to the advances in science and this has been beneficial for mankind. However, science can not go beyond the realm of the natural, the concrete and the tangible. And it is on those realms where science could not reach, lies the object of one's belief and faith. Beliefs and understandings are matters of the mind and perceptions, and a wise man can always change his beliefs if proven to be wrong. Science makes enquiries and attempts to understand the nature of man, his mind and its capabilities and is doing a wonderful progress.

It depends what this proof is lol. Science at times misses things and I like to back things up myself before I outright believe something. Call me paranoid in my old age *lol* Science says alot of things aren't possible or don't exist even though I do -- or at least according to a few supposed experts of science. Even though thermodynamics and physics..along with chemistry and often the very basic stuff of science usually backs me up on things easily. So far it makes sense that a deity exists..I make my educated opinion on it though science first, history second, and put it into lore and spirituality thirdly..it's just my way.

it will not change my beliefs. actually for me, Science and Religion are working together, they're coinciding with each other, first of all, there would be no science if there was no God (Who created all things), and there would be no religion if the scholars of religion did not used science as a tool. Ex.: a long issue for debate "The Truth of our existence, in science - EVOLUTION, in religion - CREATION". Well, both are true, there was creation then there is evolution.

I still will belief in God.I think science believes God and scientists try to give us a healthy life.

Yesssssssss!!!!!!!!

Noway, my belief would never be changed with some science. It all depends on the kind of experiences one has in believing God. I never discriminate in religion, i do go to church and i do attend prayers at some of my muslim friends even if i dont belong to them coz' it all depends on the belief. Everyone has their own experiences n trusts. Nothing can change my belief.

If some being were presented to me and acclaimed by scientists to be "God" - I would check his i.d. to make sure his last name wasn't Bush! Seriously, I think that you are mixing apples and poodles when you mention "proof" and "belief" in the same sentence. One cancels out the other. Either I know it and can prove it or I believe it and don't need to prove it. Mythology and religion are designed to be "proof" proof. They are faith based. I do not know that there is a god and believing is for fairy tales...not the salvation of my supposed soul. So, the question becomes "Can I KNOW that there is a God?" The answer is No. To know something means it exists within the realm of the finite world - you can sense it, probe it, test it, measure it. God, by definition, is infinite. It cannot be contained within the finite. Therefore, I cannot know that there is a God because I cannot contain God. Emotionally, I can believe that God contains me but that is all it is - emotion and sentiment. Nothing wrong with emotion and sentiment but, again, I would not base the salvation of my soul upon it.

It will not change my beliefs.Even at my younger age I do believe that God exist and He is always at our side watching over us.I believe that science exist because of Him.What science is trying to impart us is that they want to prove some people that who are not believer to God or those having a little faith from god.

God?Exist in the distant ancient times,now back in their mouths today's society very few people mentioned the word of God.Only some religious people back Leon worship God.An old saying that God will bless your life and prays no harm!

Dear friend I hope you are still there in this discussion. I have many things to say, but the main thing about religion is Love.This force is eternal and holds all things and beings together. And it feels wonderful. If there is no love in a religion, it is quite empty. The other part of religion is social teachings which changes from age to age, according to the exigencies of time.. Love will never change, this is the eternal part of Religion. But when we don't feel love any more in the religion, (for many reasons) we start talking about proofs and the like. We can sink into quarrel even. About religion. Where is love felt?.... you know that.All kinds of love, also Gods love to us is felt by the heart.As well as our love for Him. The heart is Gods abode in us, that is His place of revealing Himself. That way we will know God.Without material proofs. Still your eyes get clearer sight, that is you get insight, you do that when your heart is cleansed of worries. Don't we discover many more important things when we are happy. Religion is there to mend hearts, longing hearts.And to give a clear vision and hopefulness. If you don't long for God...then He will not give you the answers you crave. He is always there though, cause He is the Cause of Causes (Buddhist term for God)and wants to love us, His creatures. This is the verse that told me what I didn't know, it turned me into a believer. It is the words of Bahaullah (1817-1892) Founder of the Bahai Faith (The latest world religion, it is not a section of any other old religion): "O SON OF BEING Love Me that I may love thee, if thou lovest Me not, My love can in no way reach thee. Know this O servant." We will know love if we are open to it, just as it is when somebody loves you. You have to be open for that persons love. Then you receive it. OK Chiang
