‘An award-winning scientist recently told the world that science and religion are not incompatible.’

keep telling yourself that, bud...

The folks that zaid the hymalayas will melt by 2020 are the same money changers from the 1840s that believe the principles of thermodynamics and biogenesis do not appply. All i can say is, their science is not observable, repeat able.. just their perssonal religion shoved down the throats of children under threat of law and death.
A science theiry that needs legal protection, is illogical.

A true scientist is one who thinks God’s thoughts after Him.

All this talk about "religion and science" is hooey. It always refers to the first eleven chapters of Genesis and to nothing else . . . especially not to anything in the "new testament."

Anyone who accepts the reality of a single miracle thereby forfeits the right to reject the Genesis on the basis of scientific uniformitarianism.

Let me know when "science and religion" quarrel about the "virgin birth."

Science and Religion are compatible.

Anyone who does not realize this should join the “Flat Earth Society “ or better named, “The Flat Consciousness Society.”

Miracles are merely science that we currently fo not understand.

How is it that science and God are somehow viewed as enemies?

Christians see evidence for God's existence everywhere. It is the Christian's position that the weight of evidence from history, theology, philosophy, science, mathematics, logic, and personal experience all suggest the existence of a Creator and Redeemer.

Notice the assumptions:

Religion is all emotion, no rationality.

Science is all rationality, no emotion.

Sorry, when I look at anything not man made, my logic says this did not happen by accident. That is general revelation. And it is ok to try to understand how it works.

Science without philosophy is incomplete, most of recorded history knew this.

Reading God’s word is special revelation. That takes a lot of logic and thinking.

I’m a scientist. Accordingly, I’m also a skeptic. I’m not just satisfied with seeing and experiencing as I need to understand the supporting science to accept a theory into my belief system.

That being said, The consciousness of other people, including the stored memories of their past experiences since conception are physical to my perceptions. I read people’s souls.

I’ve been doing this for 30 plus years, 25 of which I have been studying and performing neuroscience research to understand the supporting science.

It has brought all religions, science, medicine and psychology all together in one body of knowledge for me.

When I demonstrate this in a medical setting for other scientists, it freaks them out as they can’t believe what they are seeing.

It really creates problems for people with big egos whose identity is based upon their posession of knowledge or being an expert when they see my demonstrations it undermines their knowledge and injures their ego.

Faith is easy

Science is hard

At one time philosophy was the “queen” of science. Everything else was a sub set.

According to an unverifiable story, dated of some 700 years after the founding of the school, above the entrance to the Academy was inscribed the phrase “Let None But Geometers Enter Here.”[20] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_Academy

Why geometers? Philosophy is the panicle of logic studies, which science has lost...…………………. Are scientists even trained in logic anymore?

In Platos Academia, a sign said on entry, “All geometers enter here.”

Although he is described as an agnostic, the AFP reports that Gleiser “refuses to write off the possibility of God's existence completely.”

Yep. Me too.

[Retvet]

I agree with the scientist. I believe In God it’s just that power hungry humans developed religion and government to control the masses.

[rightwingcrazy]

Science doesn’t teach us right from wrong, and religion doesn’t teach us whether a bridge can hold the weight of a laden semi truck without collapsing.

Dr. Richard Lewontin was a professor of evolutionary biology at Harvard, who often worked with Stephen Jay Gould. He said the following.

‘Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.

It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.

[DeweyCA]

Thomas Nagel is an atheist Professor of Philosophy and Law at New York University, and in recent years he wrote the book, Mind and Cosmos. He said that following.

"I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers. It isn't just that I don't believe in God and, naturally, I hope that I'm right in my belief. It's that I hope there is no God! I don't want there to be a God; I don't want the universe to be like that."

[YogicCowboy]

Instead of truly great scientists as those cited, I am instead expected to defer to modern atheists in the physical sciences who now embrace the idea of non-binary quasi-sexuality based on emotion instead of biology.
