Why did America replace their personal relationship with God for a worship of science?

humankind always search for answers and they always like to discover things to better themselves, dishwashing machines, washer and dryer, society becomes lazy......as technology develops, improvement is inevitable....modernization and industrialization will continue, thse are more important to people now,

Have they? Remember that "In God We Trust" is emblazoned on the most powerful currency in the world!

I agree that the love for money and wealth is now the key driving force for the majority of people, but don't be too hard on people for this trait; without the quest for money, I think America would turn into an anarchy, and it's money which is in fact keeping the (relative) peace!

I've often wondered what the deal is with health care in America; I live in the United Kingdom where health care is a given right, regardless of whether you are in the country legally or not. It does strike me as barbaric to let someone suffer for the sake of wealth, and there isn't many places it would happen. In order to understand why there isn't a national health service, you'd have to look at who would lose out by providing one.

Is Christianity still in America, like Jesus talked about? or have they lost the plot.Creation or Evolution? Who decides what our kids are being taught? Do you even know. Its not Science like I remember being taught! Slowly over time ,mankind has been hell-bent on removing God from our schools , our courts , and our Governments...to replace it with Science? Will Science heal our nation and broken families? keep reading →

Why did America replace their personal relationship with God for a worship of science?

Because its easier to believe in science, when it can explain the whys and where fores as to how it comes to its conclusions than it is to believe in a God that has no explanation of rhyme or reason!

Its easier to say Science and its theories are real where as God and those theories are not, But I have to ask if science is a theory or many parts of it anyway why does that mean that God cant be a theory to?? Just a thought

I'll say up front that I'm an atheist so I will likely have a different view point than the person asking the question. The original question posed was "why have Americans replaced a relationship with God... keep reading →

i do not believe we are replacing god with science i think that we are trying to use science to proove that he dose exsist . more than just blind faith.remember the root of all evil is the( greed ) of money and power over someone else

Science is just ultimately more beneficial to us as a species than that of a religion (one could argue). The reason our life expectancy is longer than any other civilization is due to our medical, biological, physiological, and psychological achievements and advancement, not the god, gods, or God we worship. This is of course one point, but for the sake of writing a massively long list of such pros, I'll leave this one on the table. A counterargument might be something like "God (a god, gods) is granting us with longer life or something "mystically" related to that." Is this really even an answer? Most people, namely scientists and educators, will more than readily accept empirical data over a "magic act" answer. And this common law you speak of...I believe it is called natural selection...and the reason we have come thus far and have accomplished the goals we set out to do is all due to our scientific mastery...not based on angels and demons.

This question is based on an erroneous premise. America has not replaced a personal relationship with God with a worship of science; if anything, it's the opposite. First of all, no one worships science - scientists use and understand science and scientific principles and processes - they do not worship science. Some scientists have a personal relationship with a god, many do not. And there is no common law imprinted on our hearts.

I wasn't aware that we had. No one informed me. You mean if I am caught talking to God, I will be arrested. I sometimes laugh at science, but I also appreciate it. I talk to God a lot. I just assume God is listening. It sures seems that way, a lot. Anywho, I know my answer is sort of trite, perhaps, but when I saw the question, that's what came out of my mouth. "I wasn't aware we had!" BUT, this is definitely a good discussion.

It's only recently becoming apparent that we are impure as a nation, and we need to blame someone for the corruption that has plagued us since the dawn of time... People, wake up. Immorality is the ultimate employer: it does not discriminate against religion, age, gender, marital status, race, nationality, sexual orientation or country of residence, not to mention it has a very tempting benefits package. keep reading →

I wish I had an easy answer to this question. Man has simply taken the wrong path. We have become stuck on needing a tangible and visual answer to everything that is wrong in this world. Science it seems provides tangible and visible answers for people. Faith seems to be put aside for a quick fix! If man would return to his roots, his heart: God, he would once again realize that only God has the real answer to the problems facing all of us right now. Through reading God's Word, reflecting on it, praying about it and asking God for guidance, so much of this world can be healed. So many of its problems alleviated. We are a lost Nation. Lost in a network of Science, Politics, Religion (Not God) and Technology.

People want to feel like they have the right to act anyway that they choose without any consequence. They fear a higher power that they have to answer to and love, but a computer is easier for them because they control it.

I hope that the vast majority of American's realize what a blessing it is to love, and honor Heavenly Father=)
