Christianity is based on faith, not proof.

Science is based on evidence, not faith.

They are completely different disciplines.

Curious then, that Chritianity (religion) doesn't change much over time, but what was scientific fact 150 years ago is almost completely discredited now.

Christianity is based on evidence also. That's what causes people to believe in the first place and that's what strengthens the faith of believers.

Science uses faith.

It presumes that the laws of nature are consistent and going to remain the same because of precedent.

It presumes the current interpretation of the geologic evidence is correct.

It presumes the scientific method will be able to be applied and is applied correctly when scientists run experiments.

It presumes that the peer review process works.

The thread earlier today about dark matter demonstrates that science works on faith when they state things like this: The theory, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, depends on particles that astronomers can't see, but are certain exist, and physicists have never detected. But the indirect evidence for their existence is overwhelming.

Forces can't be seen, felt, or sometimes even measured. They are believed to exist because of the behavior of other objects they are working on. It's circumstantial evidence that points to their existence.

It takes faith to believe that the universe came into being without any outside cause. There's no evidence to support that.

Completely wrong! Christianity is real. It is a real religion. The only thing you base your faith in is Yeshua. Is He who he said he claims to be? Different from evolution, people actually witnessed real events and had relationships with real people in biblical times and then wrote about it afterwards. Evolutionist on the other hand have to have much more faith that there guesstamation is somehow correct and even then they can't adaquately explain from where life originated logically.

No, if you are a scientist as I am, then you know that a lot of science is based on faith, but with a different data set.

++++++++++++++++=

Science is based on facts, that are then put into a theories, and the scientist has faith that he guess is right.

For example, evolution from species to species, is based on observed evolution, or changes with in a species.

Then on faith in a theory, a scientist says that evolution happens between species, even though we have not seen it, nor observed it.

No kidding! Talk about missing the point! It's all about faith. No proof necessary. Either you believe or you don't.

Christianity is based on truth and faith, so called science (darwinism) is based on faith with little proof.

Science is based on evidence

What evidence? Trees, sea/ocean, stars, moon, sun, dirt, animals, fish, fruit/herbs/vegetables, rain/lightning/thunder, the process of birth, for starters..

You look at and enjoy it all but deny the Creator of it all. You are using His evidence against Him by giving credit to a 'boom'.

Be honest.

You did not read the article before you made those “brilliant” remarks, did you?

Simple question.

Without reading every post.

Did anyone explain, through science, how this universe ever got started?

Until God gives you the wisdom to understand that God is also responsible for science.

I disagree. Both science and religion rely on faith and facts.

As we go along, it seems that both tend to coexist much more easily than both sides want to admit.

Christianity is based on evidence as well. There is PLENTY of it available. SOME of the things of Christianity IS based on faith, but not all.

Science is based on evidence, not faith.

Many things in 'science' IS taken on faith, for there is NO WAY to test what is believed to have happened.

Some “science” is based on evidence, some is just accepted in faith.

Global warming is “science” ... yet it is based on faith.

Christianity can live within the realm of “proof”, at least to the same extent that any modern scientific theory about where we came from like evolution does, quite easily.

Apply the same burden of proof to Christianity as you do to Evolution, and Christianity can pass. Apply the same burden of proof to Evolution as you do to Christianity, and Evolution fails.

Science is based on evidence, not faith.

To some degree. But it takes a level of faith to believe in the theories of evolution - and it is a huge leap of faith to accept science's origin theories.
