Science or Religion? Or do you fall somewhere in between?
I fall no where near either for the most part. Science is a lot of theories and faith. Religion is a lot of theories and faith. I support anything fact based. As for the need of knowing how I became, I couldn't care less. I'm here, that's all that matters.
This is an attempt to compare/contrast two entirely different systems. Science is a process for understanding how our world works. Religion is a mixed bag of widely divergent processes for attempting to inject meaning and/or purpose into our world. To assume one must chose one and reject the other is a false premise.
Thank you for your comment. However, to force a choice was not my intention. I also leave discussion open to how people compromise, for example, between theories of evolution and stories of creation.
I love this question. It has always fasinated me how these things are to be completely sperate but somehow always come together. I'm going to follow this question out of curiosity. Can't wait to see the responses you get. As for me, I'll say religion although I do understand the scientific theory and why people go that route. Again, I love this question. Well done!
Science, show me the proof, the math, and the logic or don't expect me to agree.
Some very varied responses. I used to fall somewhere in between, but I have to say that there is no compromise for me now. Science is what shapes my reality. I believe in hard facts and carefully considered theories, not blind faith.

So I borrowed this idea from Misha to start a new thread.For me, I can give one particular instance where I think science and religion/spirituality are complementary, as crossing each other's boundaries. When I think of energy; where Kirlian photography has proven the existence of the energy...

Is the ultimate goal of a scientist to disprove God?Would it be the pinnacle of success or the end of human discipline as we know it?

If science proves that homosexuality is NOT a choice. Where does that leave religion?I ask in this way because if homosexuality is not a choice, then God created homosexuals as they are.
