Religion and Science - Make the Two, One

[Jethro_Tull]

---

Religions have been fighting science and progress and have been losing.

Downhill: Ever since the renaissance, when science really started progressing, religions started to see it as a threat. They believed their dogma was the only truth, so anything that conflicted with it must be wrong. The church was all-powerful at the time, but has gone down hill ever since.

The truth business: The problem is the church is in the truth business, and at the time, they could not see the truth was in their dogma. Their whole reason for being is to reveal the truth, and once the world could see that they did not know it, they started to lose their credibility and power. As science grew stronger, the church grew weaker. Now the opposite is going to happen.

Uphill: Now that we can see the truth is actually in the Bible and other religious books, the church and other religions will start regaining their lost popularity and power in the world. It will be uphill for religion from now on, if they embrace the new revelation of the truth. They will have respect instead of looking like fools.

Science has done religions a great service. It has revealed the real truth.

The truth is the stated goal of most religions, so science is religion’s best friend. Religious people see science as their enemy, when the opposite is the truth. For the last five hundred years, religions have been fighting science to protect their myths. They have tortured and killed in the name of myths.

Science/religion: The things done in the past can be forgiven, because people could not know what they were doing was wrong, but not now. Now religious people have to embrace science and the truth it reveals in combination with the truth religious books reveal. The combination is going to be everyone’s salvation.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein
**
Science is religion’s best friend, because it reveals the truth, and the truth is what sets people free from the myths created by the mind.**

Wheat from the chaff: The Bible says we have to separate the wheat from the chaff, and that is what science does. It separates the truth from the myths.​

Some interesting thoughts in this book. I never thought religion and science were compatible, but this book shows how to make the two, one. I agree that science and religion need to work together to reveal the truth. This book reveals the truth we can check for ourselves, and we no longer can rely on blind faith now that we can see the evidence clearly.

Check it out.

Religion is about the nature of man. Religion seeks to develop the nature of people.

Science only gives us insight into the physics of the objects around us.

Obviously science and religion don’t have enough in common to be opposed to each other.

Psychology, Sociology, and in some areas neurology and biology, would disagree with that.

While I think science and religion don’t have to step on each other’s toes, it is inevitable that they will and do. Once, it was heresy to say the Earth was not the center of the universe. Now some people claim evolution is “only a theory” or that the world is 6000 years old. These types of situations show where the two areas can collide quite spectacularly.

Religion is a way of life. An ethical way of life. We do not get our ethics from the social sciences.

Evolution is not hard science. You should take a few biology courses.
