Science isn’t a religion. It requires evidence before belief. Religious people will believe the most ridiculous Sh** in spite of the evidence.

The FR Religion Mod already declared Science was not religion.
I'm sure her declaration will be posted as soon as someone finds it again.

The best examples are those who insist that the only things real are what are measurable and insist that all came existence from some some unmeasurable event AND insist they don't need faith.

>> Religious people will believe the most ridiculous Sh** in spite of the evidence.

Such a phenomenon is not restricted to the religious. Ever hear of man-made global warming — a “scientist supported” heaping pile of ridiculous s***?

Perhaps “science” doesn’t know as much as it thinks it does.

Science is not religion. Religion is not science. The complete human needs both.

The Bible is not a science textbook. It is the best basic explanation of how life (and everything else) started. And it is the best guide to "complete humanity" -- including both physical morality and spiritual security.

Darwinism is, so far, man's "best shot" at attempting to understand how life (once it started) arrived at the condition in which it now exists. There is slim hope that science will ever satisfactorily explain the absolute origin of the physical universe. There is zero chance that science will ever explain -- or even, approximate -- religion.

"E = MC2" -- and -- "I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life."

Both are divine truths.

I am a scientist (physical chemist, now retired) -- and -- I am a Christian and believer in Divine creation and design of the universe, and all that it contains. I apologize for neither. I am superbly comfortable and secure with both my science and my religion.

~~~~~~~~~~

Ask yourself, (no need to try and convince the rest of us); "How secure and comfortable am I with my future -- considering that I realize that I am afflicted with a terminal disease, known as 'life'?"

~~~~~~~~~~

I am happy and secure in both "worlds" -- and look forward to departing this life with great assurance of entering a better life. Can you say the same?

If we tell them science is a religion, maybe the Iranians will behead all their infidel nuclear physicists before they realize they just screwed up.

From the article: "the suggestion that nothing can naturally fluctuate into everything sounds a lot like a faith statement on a par with belief in God."
