Science beats religion

[Rainbow Mage]

How many more times can we possibly beat this dead horse?

The statement that "science has completely disproved religion" is a grossly sweeping generalization because even atheism can be like a religion to some people. A few atheists do in fact proselytize their beliefs with as much vigour as any evangelical Christian at every opportunity. Richard Dawkins would fit that mould.

Yes, he definitely would.

 

[LuisDantas]

Religion is not made of proselytism alone.

I realize that some people feel uncorfortable with Dawkin's degree of assertiveness, but that does not make him even remotely religious.

In fact, I find it a bit disrespectful to the concept of religion to suggest that conviction and form of expression alone make one "religious". That is a straw man when used to criticize religion, and it is certainly just as much of a straw man when used to criticize opponents of religion and/or of specific beliefs.

I am religious and interested in science.
I see both as stories spun by subjective minds.

That you can reconcile both ideas really has absolutely nothing to do with what I am saying.

 

[Midnight Pete]

I am a Christian and very interested in science. Science fascinates me because it reveals rather than disproves the Creator.

True religion and true science are in absolute agreement but most people know little about either.

 

[Skwim]

True religion and true science are in absolute agreement but most people know little about either.

But I bet they do recognize pretentious assertions.

 

[Midnight Pete]

True religion and true science are in absolute agreement but most people know little about either.

Can you explain what you mean by "true science" and "true religion?"

Thats not true for Quran-------science has proved Quran to be correct

Said who?

I have not seen any scientific journals that even mention Qur'an at all, let alone prove it to be correct. Sources please.

Otherwise, you are making baseless claims, claims that I find to be deceiving.

Science, today, acknowledged that Muslims living in the Middle Ages had contributed greatly to science, but make no mention of the Qur'an as the sources of scientific knowledge. These Muslim scientists deserved every credits, but only for their discoveries and inventions, and not to meaningless verses from the Qur'an. The Qur'an itself has no merits whatsoever in the field of science, and giving credits for a theological book would be taking away the contributions that Muslim scientists.

To me, Muslims making baseless claims about the scientific miracles are no better than the Christian Creationists and followers of Intelligent Design. Forgive me if I am being so blunt, but it needed to be said.
