For centuries, science and religion have been pitted against each other as incompatible quests for truth. But are they really at odds? A new survey of 10,000 religious people and scientists is shedding new light on this question. How do religious communities view scientists, and how do scientists view religious communities? How can both groups work together to build bridges and increase mutual understanding? And when it comes to engaging with religious communities, what do scientists need to know?

Join us on Sunday, 16 February, at 4:30 pm EST (3:30 pm CST) for a live video chat with experts on the divide between science and religion.

"Can Science and Religion Coexist?"

Not only can they coexist they do coexist. Science simply means knowledge. God is the Author and Curator of all knowledge. True science actually points towards God all the time.

 

[PainefulTruth]

Yes, they coexist, by only force, irrationality and hypocrisy because they are incompatible. There is no scientific method which can deduce rational, natural law using blind faith. And there is no known scientific (reasoned) evidence, only hearsay evidence, for God or any supernatural events.

Science has disproved the world-made-in-6-days theory on the first page of the bible. Common sense has disproved the theory that Noah got polar bears from the arctic and returned them after the flood.

"Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Then again, oweing to relativistic time dilation, if G-d was orbiting the earth close to the speed of light, 6 days for Him might be billions of years to us.

Sorry, that's not in the bible, they just mention "days", not "days" that were billions of years long. Anyways, how dumb would god have to be to take billions of years to make our planet? Please try again.
