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 ? wink.gif

Dear me...this is a tuffy. Here it goes.

Religion...It is really really important to me and I am very close with God. (please don't be offended sad.gif )

Science...It depends on what type of science you mean. I think most of science is just bullshit. Ex. The whole "We evolved from monkeys" epidimic.

It all depends on what type of person you are. To me, religion is more important.

Science may explain to us how many things happen but it is leading us to loads of problems, like the stem cell research and such. Most of science is inhumane and the only way I agree with science is if it is stating facts, not some mythological bullshit.

I am so offended, you are closer to God than I am, so who's keeping score exactly? How many points do you have and how exactly do you find out? So what do you get after you win? Can you even win? So how do you score points? Do you get a point everytime you go to church? Do you get a point when you pray? Do you get a point when you go on those retreats which are basically for having fun with the coverup as being a way to get "closer" to God? If I were to stand on stilts, I'd be taller than you, wouldn't I then be closer to God? Because you're closer to god, does that mean a halo of light glows around you constantly? Has God given you any special powers to convert the heathens? So has God whispered in your ear and told you of the future? What in the world gives you the idea that you're closer to God? Oh yea, you're tight with God so he probably told you that you're his number one right? ARe you even thinking when you say that or are you just blurting out the crap that they brainwash you with at church?

So do you believe that EVERYTHING in the bible is true? Both old and new? Or only new? And since when did you decide what was fact and what was not? What if evolution was a fact? You would then be contradicting yourself. Do you know what mythological means?

Main Entry: myth·o·log·i·cal
Pronunciation: "mi-th&-'lä-ji-k&l
Variant(s): also myth·o·log·ic /-jik/
Function: adjective
1 : of or relating to mythology or myths : dealt with in mythology
2 : lacking factual basis or historical validity : MYTHICAL,

So either you're saying that the theory of evolution relates to myths or that it lacks factual basis or historical validity. Well I can assure you that it doesn't fit into either of those catagories. HOWEVER, I can think of certain Christian ideals that do fit into one of those two, for example, the belief that there is a God. I believe that that lacks a great deal of factual basis. The theory of Adam and Eve being the first two humans and then populating the earth, yea bit of a problem with that as well. Where are the facts or historical validity for that matter? Seems like a myth to me. So if I understand you correctly, you'd be calling you're own religion bullshit which is right since that's exactly what it is.
