[demolished]

i think this is a tricky question if you think about it.

is science important or .. religon ? why tho .. ?

Religon helps make people safer . It help you to become a better person. Religon is mainly about beliefs and how to become a better person . . . the problem is . . did anyone prove that gods existed ? etc ..

Science helps people to be safe. Science tell us what to aware of. Without science, we wouldnt know where we are, what is safe? .. such as planets or universe ..... etc ..


if you think carefully, it could be tricky, you dont know which one is " more " important

do you people understand what i'm saiding ? just think bout it.

Okay, so now I'm an advocate for ignorance. Great.

Let me just say this. When I say that using scientific thought to "convert" religions people doesn't work, I am talking about the religious people who zealously believe in their relationship with God (etc) and actually dig into so-called scientific thought to find cases that support their belief and give reason to cases that don't. At the end of the day, the basis behind their belief is faith and science - though valid - is a force trying to shake them of their faith. I'm not talking about the everyday, run of the mill Christian who goes to church on Sundays and believes what his or her parents tell them to believe.

I've known plenty of people who were once religious as well, but at the same time, I've had conversations with priests and well-known speakers at my old church, asking about science. These people knew a lot about scientific discoveries and were able to work through every obstacle presented. Why do you think so many people are religious?

There are plenty of scientists that are religious as well. There are tons of engineers at my school, and a great number of them are religious. Science and religion, in my opinion, aren't two things that can successfully be brought head to head. If science alone can shake your religious beliefs, I'm sorry to say, but your belief must have been incredibly shallow.

And I'd also like to defend the "ignorance" you claim that I am encouraging. Do you really think that people who are religious are ignorant in scientific thought? Do you really think you're teaching anybody things that they don't already know? As I said - many people who are religious are also scientists. Try bringing in your "scientific thought" and making it change their beliefs.
