Calum Veteran Posted August 30, 2012 Veteran Share Posted August 30, 2012 I don't think it's that black and white. I wouldn't say I believe either one or the other?I just believe what has been proven as fact, whether that's scientific, whether it's a religious belief, or whether it's related to both science and religion. Having said that, if an entire religion and/or their god was proven to be true, I still probably wouldn't follow that religion or that god, although I would of course believe it to be true.

Hum Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Both Science & Religion are flawed --- they also both have elements of truth. In the 'future', they will meet in the middle. ;) Nothing Here 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S. Veteran Posted August 30, 2012 Veteran Share Posted August 30, 2012 This is what catholics think on the topic. It might be somewhat more involved than 2 caricatural pictures and a 4-word poll though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Both Science & Religion are flawed --- they also both have elements of truth. In the 'future', they will meet in the middle. ;) Science isn't flawed, there are just things we don't know yet. Then there are two groups of people that stem from that. The people who can accept that we don't know everything, and in due time, we will learn more and more about our history and future, and there are groups that can't handle not knowing the answer and turn to fairy tales to provide their answers.

John S. Veteran Posted August 30, 2012 Veteran Share Posted August 30, 2012 I despise organized religion because it tends to overemphasize one aspect or the other of the Bible/Quran/Torah. I believe the Bible, in context. I believe some of the conclusions drawn from science, but certainly not all of it. Nothing Here 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe science but I'm sort of skeptical about it at the same time.We know a great deal but we still have a lot to learn too. BTW, I despise organized religion as well.

Shiranui Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Anyone who asserts that they "believe some science" is clearly confused as to what science actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No confusion here, but if you want to parse words I only believe some of the conclusions that have been drawn from science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siah1214 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I believe science for explanation of earth and the universe and the how and why it functions. I believe in Christianity for the reason I'm here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorak Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I believe in evolution, but I am a Christian (albeit, not a very good one). I just believe evolution has a designer...like everything in creation. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*RedBull* Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 really only the third option is the logical choice. The first one proves you are not using science if you select it. The second would prove you have nothing but blind faith which contradicts the notion of using your brain. So while the third choice leaves one potentially being a hopeless atheist, it does cover the logical choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_Blue Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 There is much that Science believes, that simply is not true. ;) What exactly does science "believe that is simply not true"? Care to give an example? That would be a topic for another thread, no need to derail this one ;) So, you make a statement, and when called out on it you dodge the bullet? Why make it then? +hedleigh 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been here long enough to know better than take your bait that will result in derailing a thread. Nothing I can say here that I haven't said elsewhere on the board about what I specifically believe. cycro 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I should have made my statement clearer by emphasizing the silliness of the word "believe" as well as "some". Science is not a belief system - at least not in the sense that most people use the word belief. Ice_Blue and Shane Ekanayake 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
