Religion vs Science (2 of 2)

This is a short clip from Stephen Hawking's Universe. It shows the same thing that we see happening today with fundamentalist and their denial of Evolution and other scientific discoveries. This was a period in time when the Catholic Church was as fundamentalist as some of todays Christian denominations. They learned their lesson and accepted Evolution about 40 years ago. Isn't it about time you did the same?

Bible passages that relate to Geocentrism:
Psalm 93:1, Psalm 96:10, and Chronicles 16:30 state that "the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved." Psalm 104:5 says, "[the LORD] set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved." Ecclesiastes 1:5 states that "the sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises."

Bible passaged that relate to Human Evolution:
Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image"
Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground"

@Jermie420 That's not true. There are some evidences supporting the Big Bang Theory. Nothing in science is 100% certain, sure, but still some evidences is better than none, which is the case of heaven. Furthermore, religion is prone to fundamentalism. If only people interpreted it as a metaphor, as you said, then there would be no problem with it. Unfortunately, we know that is not the case.

@Xveldin albert einstein also didnt believe in a big bang and believed in a steady state.... even the most intelligent people may get things wrong. why does science have to be trying to discover a deity? guess you'll have another quote to tell me instead of using your own words? (y)

@househouse117 I believe what I said was a quote from one of the most intelligent men to ever live, Albert Einstein. If you look at it, if you have nothing to look for, in this case, God, than what good does Science do you? Science is something that must be applied to discovery and to discover, you must have at least some idea of what you are looking for. I see truth in both and in a lot of philosophies in this world from Buddhism to Science. Open minded I guess.

@Xveldin how is science without religion lame? science does not prove everything. science is there to try and understand and figure out things. to be skeptical and question things. not to be told one thing and believe it without questioning or reason. science is there to try and understand and fill the gaps, not to plug them with things that are even more complicated and bring up even more questions. i would never "bash" anyone that questions science, so long as their question has reason n logic

[Xveldin]

@househouse117 Science without Religion is lame, Religion without Science is blind. What proof does Science hold that 'proves' everything there is can be proven to be? And when people start questioning Science and you start bashing on them it makes you no more different than those churches who attacked anyone who questioned them.

@linkzellda so then how is fact stupid?

[linkzellda]

@househouse117  I really know that before so what you point?

[househouse117]

@linkzellda science is fact. look up theory in the dictionary, theory can also mean fact :)

[linkzellda]

Religion is about faith

Science is abut theory

Both are stupid!

Jesus takes him into outer space toward a distant city made of brilliant light of a similar description to the city in the Book of Revelation. He speculates this is the place where people go who have become Christ-like while on Earth. Here, love was the dominant focus of life. He realizes he is seeing heaven, but he is not allowed to go in. Jesus then shows him the future of the Earth. He then returns to his physical body.
