Are science and religion compatible?

Yes

No

Personally, I find the idea of simultaneous support for both religion and science wholly incompatible. Here's my thought process: - Scientists support the [url=http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/overview_scientific_method2.gif]scientific method[/url]. - Faith-based religion conflicts with the scientific method, as religion skips/ignores steps in the scientific method. - One cannot support the scientific method while simultaneously supporting faith-based religion. One cannot truly support both science and religion; you're compromising your support in one or the other. Thoughts? Explain your position.

  • Watch bill nye v ken hamm. I think you can, but i surmised that you meant in a "scientific" research method. I do believe that a religious person can perform science as anything that is done HAS to be able to be done by other scientists. However do i think that religion should has a basis in today's "scientific community"? No. Religion has hindered man's progression for many many years. Those who could prove the earth wasnt the center of the universe were put in prison or killed. I believe that religious thought should be private and personal. We shouldn't push others to believe what we do, unless it is able to be proven by others. Best way to put it is russels teapot.
