Science is the methodical study of the world around us; religion is the belief (or assumption) of a supernatural being. The two are fundamentally at odds as far as what they claim to know about the world around us.

Science doesn't claim to have all the answers, instead trying to discover what questions should be asked. Religion claims to have all the answers without asking any questions and instead conforming to rituals.




see you have complete faith in science that is your belief. by saying your belief system requires you to ask questions and religions doesnt means that you believe in your sytem and not theirs. because one came from the bible and the other a science book does not make yours superior. but in the minds of many it is, just as in the minds of many religious people there's is. what are your belief on the earth orbiting the sun? If you do believe it, I'd like to hear your proof. Or if you believe it because of men you have never met agreeing that it is so. Remeber at one time men of great minds claimed a God rode a Flaming Chariot across the sky and that was the sun. Now you are told that gasses in the vaccum of space cause this. Is one any more absurd than the other? To most it prolly is but I find it a huge leap of logic to decide that somehow anyone knows or has a good idea. Yet I'm sure you will quote all the scientific studies. Which of course are based on Scientific studies. Yet if someone were to quote the Bible people would say can't you find a basis for your argument besides the Bible. Seems a bit hypocritical to me.
