Do they create a perfect balance? If there was no science with religion, what would hold religion in check to make up whatever they wanted? The same with science, if there was no religion, who would keep science from making up whatever they wanted?

  No.
  
  Science exists without religion. They are not connected in any way.
  Religion already makes up whatever it wants in order to perpetuate the hoax of it's god concept.
  
  Science doesn't make things up. That's conjecture on your part.
  
  You can keep your question as a response. I'm not debating with you. You want to learn more, then read more.

  Science doesn't make things up, it is a method, not a person.
  
  However, even if scientists made up stuff, their nonsense would quickly get weeded out in the peer review process and of course, through experimentation.

It must be time for another quote from the loving bible.

Then Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders who were in charge of the troops, "Take her out of the Temple, and kill anyone who tries to rescue her. Do not kill her here in the Temple of the LORD." So they seized her and led her out to the gate where horses enter the palace grounds, and they killed her there. (2 Chronicles 23:14-15 NLT)

Nasty!

Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)

  I think that whenever we try to live by a strictly scientific and/or strictly religious code, we fail to evovle as a society, or on a more singular level, as human beings. Both the man who believes only in that which can be physically proven and the man who believes only in the doctrine of his church would be pompous enough to call Einstein " stupid as mud." To be successful in either world, one must first admit how little he knows, and secondly, how willing he is to learn the truth, despite the fact that uncovering the truth may shatter all former beliefs. In other words, neither field will be benefited by ones own oppresive ego.

  Nothing oppressive about recognising the weaknesses in idols. You seem to have about the same level of understanding as mud, so perhaps you relate too closely. religiosity is a lizard brain response to fear, anyone who wants to can work that out and locate the evidence of it. Unfortunately our dear Albert had the same spinal cord "add on" as the rest of us!

  Understandable, but my remark was not meant to be personal, it was merely to demonstrate a point. A party from either side, if rigid enough in their opinion, often bristles with antagonism if confonted with the opposing parties version of the truth. This battle of wits between science and theology usually goes nowhere, and has been doing so for some time now, I believe. :-)

Remember, WHY religion exists in the first place.

It's foundation is formed by the belief that if humankind didn't answer to a higher authority, then there would be chaos.

That is reaffirmed, when you look at society, as a whole.

Just an interesting tid-bit.

What many don't realize is that religion is destroying humankind and needs to be eradicated.

Religion purposesly creates selfish people and separation of others. It is perpetuated under the cloak/shield of Jesus' works.

Religon originally was meant to create the guidelines for code of conduct in human society.

The science came in to explain the phenomenon of nature and how can you use it for advantage of mankind..

so I say that they are complimentary

The evil faces of mankind have identified the destructive forces from either and have spoiled teh very objective of either. Still the unknown force keeps them in harmony and slowly shifting humans to their final destiny.

  Religion was actually started as 'The Government'. The men that wanted to rule had to have something that made them better than 'ordinary men'. One thing that accomplished that was violence, another was Religion/God. Being unquestionable because 'God Wills It' meant people would do anything for their leaders. So they made themselves into the 'hand of God' on earth. Religion is still being used this way today.

Yes but not all the time...

Sometimes you feel that you should go through it and your religion says that it should not be. For example in all religion we are taught that it is sin to kill or harm anyone but there are so many science projects which needs animal or human life to do experiments.

What will you say about it?

People who are non vegetarian are they not religious?
How can we balance both religion and science?

Doctor says eating fish is advantageous for your health. Are they not living creature made by God?

The more you delve into science, the more you are convinced that God created it all.

Charles Darwin, in his last days, was convinced he had got it all wrong and was man enough to own up to his folly of propagating his revolutionary evolution theory. The scientific community kept its own counsel and was reluctant to acknowledge Darwin this time with the same enthusiasm it had displayed for the original theory. Perhaps it did feel defiant and did not want to appear foolish by saying yes to Darwin, no matter what he said.

Another shining example of great minds not shying away from retracing their steps, thereby tarnishing their image was provided by the greatest physicist of our times. Stephen Hawking stunned the world recently by debunking his own original theory that light could not escape a black hole and contended that it could just do it.

Be that as it may but, how did the atoms and molecules perceive the external agency gravity and its pulling everything down to the ground and "design" the human anatomy with mouth at a higher level at one end and the anus at a lower level at the other end facilitating the exit of excreta without any contortionist act involved?

Cell division does not answer this either. Cells just latch on to the next cell and bond together to form whatever they form. How did the individual cell decide they had to form a liver or a pancreas? Had cells been that intelligent, why did the cells in lowly creatures stop at being in animals and did not evolve further and strive to become higher life? For, if atoms and molecules had been so intelligent, the cells which are a collection of atoms with their consequent collective wisdom should have worked overtime to achieve this.

In deed, why do cells in cows and cats, even after witnessing the cells in man, the highest of all creations, want to remain trapped in a cow or a cat? Do not tell me they see what fine mess man got himself and them into with his 'intelligence' and had thought better of it! Come to think of it, it could well be the case!

So some one had to act the catalyst. The smart question "Who Created God" has no answer but that is just one of many million questions we do not have answer for!

  I never said any such thing. Why do you feel the need to be so dishonest in everything you say?
  
  This is your morality?

  Good for you.
  
  So - you do not identify with the Kristian I was speaking to then? You are a different sort of Kristian. A genuine christian no less. All professionals huh? Interesting - do you have to take a test to get in?
  
  Now - when I am knocking the other sort of Kristians - you know the ones - why do you feel the need to defend them?
  
  I assume you feel that attacking science and teaching children that they will burn in hell if they do not believe is OK - seeing as you feel the need to defend those people. Why is that?
  
  I have seen you attacking anyone that expresses a liberal opinion that is not in line with a religious/conservative Kristian opinion.
  
  You even sent me a personal note telling me I should stop criticizing christians.
  
  You have even started threads attacking "liberals" and homosexuality.
  
  But this is OK because your church has professionals in it and you spend a lot of money sending people around the world in an effort to convert them to your religion.

  No one that actually "delves" into science would ever come to that conclusion. Only faith believers who know very little or nothing at all about science would make such a statement.
  
  What's even worse are when believers make up stories to support their statements. Sad indeed when they are compelled to stoop down to the level of fabricating lies.
  
  I'm almost sure you have no idea what Hawking radiation is but are still compelled to fabricate another lie.
  
  Gibberish.
  
  You know nothing about evolution, either.

  You can wake up one who is sleeping. Not one pretending to be asleep.
  
  Do some google search and it will be news to you about Charles Darwin and Stephen Hawking. You will be surprised but will still be adamant.
  
  That is alright, I assure you

  I am not surprised whatsoever by your lack of understanding and fabrications. What's so sad is that your religion compels you to do such things.

  Uh, I don't need to do research into the fabrications of Christians, my friend. They are all to obvious and blatant and demonstrate an extreme aversion to reality.

  Yes, what you've accomplished is to fabricate stories of concepts for which you have little or no understanding. Had you attempted to actually made a case, you would have provided legitimate sources for your claims about Darwin, you would have demonstrated how Hawking debunked his theory and shown the math too, you would have had an actual understanding of evolution before spouting gibberish.
  
  Instead, you simply dismissed it all and told me to go off and do the research myself.
  
  Hence, you have only demonstrated intellectual dishonesty and fabrications of stories.
  
  If you actually do believe in your god, you should believe that he will judge you harshly for doing such things.
  
  And that, my friend, is the only case you've made.

Four Catholic ladies are having coffee together. The first one tells her friends, "My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."

The second Catholic woman chirps, "My son is a Bishop. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, 'Your Grace'."

The third Catholic woman says smugly, "My son is a Cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, 'Your ence'."

The fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her this subtle "Well.....?"

She replies, "My son is a gorgeous, 6'2", hard bodied . When he walks into a room, people say, 'Oh my God...'."

Mark, we are on completely different planes. You are talking about the people who say they practice religion but go against Christ's teaching. I am talking about Christianity as it is meant to be practiced.

  And being a christian in the "Way it is meant to be practiced," involves attacking scientific knowledge in what can only be described as an "intellectually dishonest" fashion, how exactly?

And, mark, why this obsession with Capital K? Is it meant to be an insult? Just wondering, that's all. You can insult all you want.

Or, is it patronizing?

Either way it is fine by me.
In fact, thank you

God is tired, worn out. So he speaks to St. Peter, "You know, I need a vacation. Got any suggestions where I should go?"

St. Peter, thinking, nods his head, then says, "How about Jupiter? It's nice and warm there this time of the year."

God shakes His head before saying, "No. Too much gravity. You know how that hurts my back."

"Hmmm," St. Peter reflects. "Well, how about Mercury?"

"No way!" God mutters, "It's way too hot for me there!"

"I've got it," St. Peter says, his face lighting up. "How about going Down to Earth for your vacation?"

Chuckling, God remarks, "Are you kidding? Two thousand years ago I went there, had an affair with some nice Jewish , and they're STILL talking about it!"

A middle aged woman has a heart attack and is taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she has a near-death experience. During that experience she sees God and asks if this is it. God says no and explains that she has another 30-40 years to live.

Upon her recovery she decides to just stay in the hospital and have a face lift, liposuction, breast augmentation, and a tummy tuck. She even has someone come in and change her hair colour. She figures that since she's got another 30 or 40 years she might as well make the most of it.

She walks out the hospital after the last operation and is killed by an ambulance speeding up to the hospital.

She arrives in front of God again and asks, "I thought you said I had another 30-40 years?"

God replies, "Sorry, I didn't recognize you."
