Superstitions have got nothing to do with religion or science.

"and just say "science studies common sense."

Does science say it studies common sense? Please
Regards

Common sense: If we hold a pencil in the air, it will drop because of gravity
Physics is the study of gravity

Common sense: The earth revolves that creates an illusion that the sun is rising and falling

Science: Study of astrology

Basic knowledge studied by science.

God isn't in the field of science. It isn't considered common sense because it is unjustified by universal facts like gravity. Regardless of what part of the world you are at, and who studies it, gravity is the same.

It's common sense that one and one is two. Regardless of where you are in the world, it's justified that one thing on either side come together doubles.

The study of mathematics.

God is a superstition because unlike the study of astrology, mathematics, physics, et cetera, there is no "universal method" or natural means to test whether god exists or not. It comes from people who believe in him not any external stimuli. Therefore, it is called a superstition.

Nothing wrong with that.

"Common sense"

Common Sense vs Science
"Common sense and science are two words that are often confused when it comes to their meanings when strictly speaking, there is a difference between the two words. Common sense is our usual understanding of practical issues. The word common sense is used in the sense of ‘natural instinct.’ On the other hand, science is the study or knowledge of the physical and natural world based on observation and experimentation. The word science is used in the sense of a ‘kind of knowledge.’ Common sense is our knowledge of day to day life. Science goes a step beyond and provides scientific explanations for realities in life and those that we take for granted. This is the main difference between the two words. This article attempts to highlight the difference between these two while providing a comprehensive understanding of each word."

Use your own words. It will be eazier to communicate since Ill know what YOU think not try to figure out what you mean by reading different definitions of the same word.

Science is the study of the natural world. A lot ofnthings like understanding how gravity works is common sense. They support each other once studied and understood.


God and revelation is not the same. It is not supported by science, it is not common sense, it is ujustified.

Its a superstition.

Difference Between Common Sense and Science
Common Sense is not a synonym of science. Common sense is not the same with every body. And Common Sense is very uncommon to be found:
“Common sense is not so common.”

If revelation contradicts science it is a subject of science. If it makes claims regarding nature it is a subject of science.
No prophet who got Revelation or the Revelation spoke against science. Right? Please

Please quote one's source from science.

I need no source. Science itself is a method to study reality thus anything that makes claims regarding reality can and is subject to science. It is one of the definition of science itself.

Does science say that it is the only way to find reality? Please quote from science if it ever claimed as such.

No. However it has been more reliable than any other method used including revelation.

Already answered that question. I need no source
.

Science isn't something one can actually quote as it is a method. One cites scientists.

Do you need science to figure out if you are sad or happy? Hungry or not? If no then you just answered your own question...

Revelation is a superstition.

No one can look at the discoveries developed from methods of science compared to other methods. When you are sick do you go to a doctor or the Quran? Which provides medical services that work? Which one is used to launch probes to Mars. It isn't revelation nor the Quran

Science has been described as a method, it doesn't deny that there are no other methods. Please

science says "we cannot predict the future".

May be it is an off-the cuff opinion of a man of science. it may in other words an expression of limitation of science.
Nevertheless to prove that that what I have colored in magenta it belongs to science then:
  • One is to quote from a textbook of science where it is mentioned it does say it
  • One is to quote from a peer reviewed article published in a journal of repute of science to show it does say it
  • One is to quote the discipline of science which is related to it
science says "we cannot predict the future".

Yet I see people who eulogize science beyond its limits, saying that one day science will cover the whole of human life. Right? Please
Is it not predicting about future? Please

What is "god"

Verse (2:255)

Sahih International: Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
The Quranic Arabic Corpus - Word by Word Grammar, Syntax and Morphology of the Holy Quran

God with the name Allah has many attributes mentioned and explained/illustrated in the whole of Quran, and some of them have been mentioned in the above verse .
Science does not discuss G-d, it cannot be its subject to discuss as science has its limitation, it cannot cross them over.
Science explores nature, and nature has been caused by G-d.
Please

This is not a limitation of science, it is a limitation of God. Science only deals with things that can be shown or evidenced in quantifiable ways. God cannot be evidenced in quantifiable, demonstrable ways. So, God is limited in that God cannot be shown to exist scientifically.

correction.....Man is limited by his sight
many have eyes and do not see

God is limited only by the rules of reality He has formed
His own mindset is His only limitation

The superstitions are based on ignorance , weak thinking and are whimsical.
The truthful religion is based on Revilation a valid source of knowledge. Science is based on application of scientific method devised by philosophy.
Superstitions have got nothing to do with religion philosophy and or science. Right? Please
Regards
You are half right!
