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. tell me what you think ? ![]() |

QUOTE(azn_r4pf4n @ Dec 24 2004, 11:24 PM) well. what i mean by that is that i believe in the type of science that doesnt go too far that it somehow contradicts my beliefs, like the Theory of Evolution and the Big Bang Theory. I do believe in some sorts of science like technology. So if there is science that could advance mankind that might contradict the Bible, then you would disagree with it? I can't think of any kind of science right now only because I'm no scientist, nor do I possess a great imagination so I cannot say that such science exist. Though, people have said that cloning is playing God, so they are against it. So if you are against cloning because it's "playing God", do you think that it is bad science? How about stem cell research? Is that bad science, too? Someone said that the religion isn't up-to-date. Let us be more specific and say that the Bible isn't up-to-date, after all it holds the archaic verse that women should be subservient to men. There were many changes to the Bible since its inception. There were additions and shedding due to mistranslations.. etc. But all in all, the Bible hasn't changed drastically for centuries. Now then, science changes every year, every month, everyday even. I really don't see how anyone can think that science should be kept in check by the Bible, or rather, those who interpret the Bible. The people who condemned Galileo consisted of quite a few who were many times more intelligent than you and I. Yet, through their insistence, science and knowledge suffered because they interpreted that the Bible states the earth was squared while Galileo discovered things that seemingly contradicted the Bible. What if one day there is a science that is good or possibly good, but is condemned as bad because people interpreted that the Bible says it's bad. That is what happened with Galileo, so who's to say it won't happen again? |
