Is there room for science and faith to co-exist?

Of course! It has always amused me that those with egos run amok in either community waste time creating a supposed divide and usually with the idea of their own gain in power wealth and influence. Funny how that works.... ;-)

In my eyes,one does not disprove the other,but compliments one another!Without God,there would not be science,and He is the greatest alchemist of all!Look around you,behold the wonders of the world!

yes

My mom is religious and one of the most devout skeptics I know.

Sure. Religion can believe anything they want as long as it is provable and is within the realm of the physical world. After that they have to simply say we agree to disagree and not try to shove their religion down the throats of everyone around them.

If they ignore each other.

According to the Faith. I have Faith in my family, Faith in my child's teacher, etc. but mixing "Religious Faith" with science in co-existence, to me, just doesn't work.

Science makes hypotheses about what is observable/falsifiable. Science is not yet eqiupped to know why we're here or who/what created the universe.

yeah

Why not? They have co-existed for thousands of years so far!

Certainly. Faith offers "why" and Science "how." imho

Faith, and science are at opposite poles. Science is seen, and what is hoped for is not seen. Therefore we wait for it having faith that the unseen will be seen even as what we see what is seen. What was before what is seen before our eyes had no death in it. All of nature waits for it to be that way again. That is in Romans 8, KJV. The creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. They are waiting having faith that they will see God in us. God in us is life in us. Life in our soul. The animals are waiting for a day when death will be no more. Faith in science is a false faith thinking the wisdom of man can save us from the predicament that they are in in this world of death. That faith in science saves nothing. Faith in God beholding the Lord to having him in us saves the soul. Faith in science will not save the soul.

Yes. They are not exclusive of each other.

If the two can co-exist, it's a tricky situation. There are religious groups trying to use faith based ideology to explain how the world began, and some of their statements border upon the ridiculous. Although I am a person of a faith, I'll leave science alone, to discover and share without attempting to inject my religious perspective.

I think there is some. Religion is a matter of faith, science is a matter of interpreting fact, and more importantly, scrutinizing ideas until a solid conclusion can be reached.
But for the two to co-exist, it is religion which must be flexible. If science proves something you believe to be false, you should scrutinize it carefully, and if the proof is solid, you must concede the results.

If you can’t afford the medicine that a scientist invented then go right ahead and pray to your god, whatever you call him. Perhaps your god will save you from the imperfection or the virus your god created. In the meantime I will rely on science.

Yes, as long as the me know better crowd from both sides shut up.

since god created science there is no conflict between the two

Definitely :)

YES!!

Yes, science, will situated in the realm of data also requires faith.

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Albert Einstein

Einstein studied Spinoza and identified with Spinoza both culturally and philosophically. The Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: "Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in 'Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists.'

They do in my world. I believe in Jesus and I believe that the world is around 4.6 billion years old. Actually, it doesn't really matter what I believe because such things have nothing to do with each other anyway.

I believe those who say "it can't" and take a "my way or the highway" approach are insecure in their own beliefs.

The co-existence of science and religion is confined only by the limitations of the human mind.

That is a great answer. :-)

Obviously. They both do in fact exist, and everyone uses faith in everything they believe, always.

However, science is in the business of removing as much of this faith as possible before believing something. Religion actually encourages believing in things based on nothing BUT faith.

This creates massive problems...

As Karl Popper wrote, even faith in reason involves a degree of irrationality. I see the problem as being dogma and the simple-minded need to adhere to it.

Very good question. I believe they can certainly co-exist. I've had this conversation w/people who strongly believe in science but argue there's no room for faith and I've yet to understand why they are so militantly opposed to it.

As Stan Marsh once said, "There can still be a God... couldn't evolution be the answer to how and not the answer to why?"

God created heaven and earth and directly. created each species, including man= the tewaching of evolution is an unscientific collection of lies

Yes.

Yes, they can. People who believe in one or the other can't.

Science was a result of religion and not the other way around. Science and time are man made creations within the concept of religion. This in my opinion is why you cannot separate religion and science, because, science is fundamentally the spawn of religion.

Secondly, time is a man made equation that according to science is a based on pure mathamatical equation. But that, pure math equation is man made and can only measure that time and matter which, has already been created or is in exitence(or has been).

Man will never discover where, how nor by whom the universe was first created simply because, man has no concept of infinity or endless nothing and any equations based on man made time and subsquently man, making of his own time limits, will always be flawed.

Agreed. When man can grasp infinity, he can understand the pantheistic God. I'm not holding my breath waiting.

Yes.

They go hand and hand, IMO you can not have one or the other.

Yes, of course!

yes-always...
