Science vs Religion

[scorpio86]

Should the big bang theory be taught in schools to children as 'fact'?

Should creationism be taught in schools to children as 'fact'?

Which do you personally believe in?

[Bishop]

Religion has no place in any school system

[Landro]

Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into buildings.

nuff said.

[scorpio86]

Nice.

If they teach theories in schools, I don't see why they should discriminate between, say, evolution and creationalism. Religion is what made science, so they could better understand the world God gave them.
Given that, religion seems to have been a motivator to bring people to the moon.

Religions have a history of hindering science. For example, Galileo was brought to trial for saying that the earth revolved around the sun instead of the biblical view of the sun revolving around the earth.

As for flying people to the moon; religion didn't have a lot to do with that. Cold war rivalry was the main motivator

Creationism isn't a theory.

[Palem]

Science teaches us about the natural world.
Religion "teaches" us about the supernatural world.

There's already a natural division in the two categories.


Edit:
Also, if science has taught us anything, next to nothing should be taught as "Fact"

[scorpio86]

Religion did not create science, humans created science.

[goodz]

Religion did not create science, humans created science.

I would say that we also created religion. Even if a god created us.

"Follow the shoe" - Life Of Brian.


The movie depicts how religions are made. A human says something and a bunch of people follow him. I'd say all religions are made in this way, created by a humans. I don't trust random humans.

[Scavenger]

Science and religion are idem. You'll see.

[octobrev]

A genocide of the religious would solve every problem we currently face. Global warming, poverty through wealth redistribution, food/water shortages, the GOP. I bet that cruise ship wouldn't had crashed If those dead weight old christian couples weren't on board.

I enjoy the simple irony of putting up windmills and slowing the rotation of the earth to a complete stop. I'll continue to endorse it as a real live problem for now~
