Does Science and Religion create the perfect balance?
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.
Scientific method, and double blind studies as well as the fact that science works, whereas religion is just fear based tripe.
No sweetie. This is a 50/infinity proposition. We already talked about this.
50% - no god
50% - possibility that one of the infinite number of other possible options is correct.
You define it, I'll disprove it.
Ah, Lying. OK
Like wot the god sed.

0 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!
Oh that's right, the new religionists throw that part of the book away!Well christians do for one example.
You would have no trouble with this quote then I guess?
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! 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)
What a psychopath!
I am not surprised that Albert said this.
Apart from being a brilliant scientist he was also obviously stupid as mud.
Famous clever people like Einstein are often borderline nut cases.
Carl Jung speaks of such a man who, when it came to his own life, left his wife and kids to run off with an exotic dancer.I take it you don't understand the Einstein quote either?
Yes, Earnest. Albert Einstein said that.
But, the question is do you understand what he meant when he said it?
Science without(requires) religion(ethics) is lame. True.
If science doesn't have ethics, then it's dead in the water.
Religion without science is blind. True.
Religion claims to have answers, yet provides none, while science provides answers, truth. 
I cannot make the connection between religion and ethics as Albert did. I see no connection between religion and ethics.
Religion is a business based on a code of ethics, bound to a higher cause. The ethics is a moral standard...if you believe that.
OK now I'm with you. I do not use religion to find ethics. Ethics are logical.... to my mind anyway!
Here is an example. If I help others, hurt as few people as I can, that gives me more self worth, a better understanding of reality and the reward enjoying the truth of in the act itself.
I think ethics and good work are plain logic.
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! Well my comment was direct, yours was not, you made the reference that bought on the remark.
What you stated as pompous I see as just the truth. I did not appreciate being called pompous.
Rubbish.
When have we tried to "live by a strictly scientific.. code"?
And who said that ethics need to be discarded along with a ridiculous belief in the invisible super being?
In fact - who is suggesting we live by a strictly scientific code?
I suggest we get rid of the religious garbage and replace it with a code of ethics we can actually live by instead of just paying lip service to, because no one really believes they are going to get judged when they die.Oh - you mean everybody agrees with the code of ethics you guys stick to us?
Taking children away from aboriginal families to indoctrinate them as Kristian?
No killing?
No abortions?
No divorce?
That is the funniest thing you have said dj. LOLOLOL Kristians follow the ethics laid down in the Biybel?
LOLOLOL Very funny dj. LOLOLOLOL I am literally laughing out loud. LOLOLGob save me from biblical ethics!
U haven't changed a BIT.
I ask questions.....u don't answer.
I guess u don't know!
Or, u don't have ethics u wish to share with all of us.LOLOL dj - I know that lying is a big part of your "ethics" but - we both know you were not asking a Kwestion to have an answer.
You seem to think I am stupid. I have written about this before:
http://hubpages.com/hub/christians-on-hubpages
I have also linked and promoted an alternative approach to developing ethics without an invisible super being.
http://hubpages.com/hub/Rational-Code-Ethics
And there is a discussion here (which no one is interested in);
http://hubpages.com/hub/Rational-Code-o … Discussion
Stop by and see what the idea is.
I do not have a pre made list that you MUST obey, and will never do so because you do not really believe in the guy handing the list out. This is why we will need to develop our own when religion gets the boot.I am growing tired of u calling me a liar.
What little respect I have for u is just about drained out.
I can see how ignorant and arrogant u really are. I said this when I first met you, and nothing u have done has made me change my mind.
Hope your ethics encompass calling people all sorts of names.
Enjoy
I am in complete agreement with this statement.
Posting without reading is also blind.
Q u i p p y
Not needed. Ethics can be best arrived at though logic.

Kristians Kreating Konflikt.
It is OK to lie for jeebus huh? 'Cause that is the message you are giving. Thank you for once again reminding me that Kristians have no moral or ethical standards.
Defend Kristianity at all Kosts!!!!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLIt's not about any lies it's about you and your beliefs. The new chic is piling on Christians, it has nothing to with substance.
It is all about substance. Read a history book or a newspaper. Come on man - educate yourself. It is not that hard.
Kristians Kreating KonfliktWell believe it or not I know how to read and I do quite a bit of it. How about you go to church and find out what all the fuss is about. If you'd like I can find a church in your area that you can sit in on. We invite investigators to come anytime. You'll be surprised we don't discuss politics at all. We talk about bible lessons and our testaments. We also talk about service projects and families. Let me find one of churches in your area and go see for your self. I can arrange a home visit if you like.
LOLOLOLOL
Find out what all the fuss is about? LOL
You mean like centuries of serial child abuse in Ireland by teh clergy?
Taking native American and Australian aboriginal children from their parents?
Attacking scientific knowledge because it goes against certain religious doctrine and teaching this to children too young to think for themselves?
How many rights fix the wrongs?
Never really understood the "I will pretend X did not happen because Y happened as well," argument other than as an irrational defense against an argument against an irrational religion.
I am not interested in studying the bible with you or listening to you tell me how clever you are for choosing your particular flavor of religiosity.
There is no shortage of religious institutions where I live. I suspect the churches per square mile are far greater here than in your neck of the woods.
The Mosques are starting to outnumber them and the tension is rising between the two groups. We have had several religiosity riots lately and France now has laws against some Muslim clothing.
Not that the newspapers are allowed to report them.We're alittle different, our church is full of professionals. We have some of the most talented people in our community and these people still go out and roll up their sleeves work side by side with everyone else. Our doctrine says we are not allowed to critisize any other religion. Almost all of our youg men earn they're Eagle scout badge and our young women are always involved in community service. We have a huge missionary program and we send people all around the world. We never ask for donations everything we have is raised within our congregation. You should come for a visit it's always better when you're there.
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.
