Is science a religion?

[Cyaren]

Well IMO science is not a religion. Religion is a hypothesis that don't need proof for believing. Science though is hypothesis but it investigate first using scientific method.

You are a smurt guy Seansky
I agree with you,science isnt a religion.
Religion is simply believing in something,but if something is scientificly prooved,you dont have to believe in it : cause it is just a fact right?

no it is not a religion . it is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. and religion is the belief in and worship of a God or gods.

But after that is science theory, which is not known to be fact just like many people don't know if God is fact or not. When people believe science theory to be fact, they are making science a religion for themselves. Since this includes many of the major scientists, science has become a religion.

I think science is a part of religion. And quantam theory is a perfect example of it. More or less scientists who are involved
in researches of quantam theory are involved in either Buddhism or Hinduism lastly.

Its like, if u  give a same apple to both religious person and scientists. Religious person explains it as art of nature and science explains from development of embryo but its a same thing they are explaining. Same as religions and science explains the same thing that is miracle difference is they explains same thing in a different way which means both are connected to each other by a miracle.

Science is proven facts or the search for the facts.

Not mistaken with theoretical science which always could go either way.

Science theory is the search for facts. Science theory is not known to be fact. Science theory becomes religion in the minds of those who adamantly say it is fact. To those people, science is religion. This includes most if not all of the people at NASA. NASA is a religious organization, and should actually be called a church of science and investigation.

Is science a religion with the absence of God?
Or is science God with the absence of religion?

You're video so suck that it is widely refuted repeatedly over and over again. Don't you have any other new bullish video that can present?

I believe Science is a realistic approach to life and the existence of everything through rational views and evidences. These evidences are concluded on the basis of scientific experiments and universal laws. Whereas religion wants us to have faith in the invisible beings. It run on faith and belief of people.

Well that really explains alot. Science is made out of critical observation and a reliable source to come up with a result. So It will never be a religion where all things is based by believing what all your preacher says.

yes we cannot match science and religion. in fact my view is that religion is a science and specially if i talk about Isalm. but science is not a religion. science is proving such phenomina about which islam have given statement so many years ago.

From https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1532972.msg15480068#msg15480068:

It isn't physics that is or can be wrong. It is people. Here's what I mean.

Physics is NOT in its infancy. Rather, it has just barely been conceived. How do we know this? Consider the dimensions - like point, line, plane and space. Space is considered the 3rd dimension. We thoroughly understand the first 6 or 8 dimensions. We know some things about 6 or 8 more dimensions. We recognize the existence of about 32 dimensions. But there could be an infinite number of them, each one greatly more complex than the last.

The problem is NOT that we are discovering things using physics. The problem has to do with our believing aspects of physics to be truth when we don't know it.

The facts that go into a science theory are facts. But the theory itself isn't known to be fact. If it were a fact, it would not be a theory. But when we call the unknown as though it were fact, especially when we know that it may not be fact, then we are moving into the area of religion.

This is exactly the thing that many scientists, the media, and companies like NASA are doing. They are religion, even though they have much factual science associated with them, because they treat things that are not known to be fact as though they were fact.

[worhiper_-_]

Lets not make everything more complicated than it already is shall we?
Science is Science. Religion is a religion. there is not a single similarity between the two of them.
Science is prone to changes all the time. Fail assumptions. fail Researches while Religion is based on some kind of old book founded by i dont know who. believing in talking snakes  , women made from rib and a eve and adam who made 2  male children and continued with the human legacy. that sounds to me a lot like incest .

[grim007]

Science is based on facts while religion is based on faith. This two is in contratry and not the same

[Betwrong]

I think the main difference between science and religion is that with a scientific approach you can dobut everyting and with a religious one you can't doubt many things even is they have not much sense.

Well I doubt plenty of religious nonsense.

[hermanhs09]

You cannot say science is a religion when you got no evidence at all that creatures that exist in religion (let's say satan) exist in the real world too.
The problem is that science is something based on evidence,proofs etc. and religion is based only on faith,and human fear.
linking science with religion isn't a good idea.

Religious people would say that they have evidence for many things of religion, but often no proof. There is a major aspect of science that says the same in science.

The problem is that science is something based on evidence,proofs etc.

However, science theory is part of science that has not been proven. Yet many scientists, the media, and many books say that some scientific theories are true, just like religion with their religious beliefs, when they don't know that the science theories are true.

and religion is based only on faith,and human fear.

God exists. This fact is proven by science, although few people talk about the proof. Religious faith is often based on whether or not God is telling the truth. Many people adhere to religious faith because of the joys that God tells them will be theirs in the future, rather than fear of some trouble in the future.

linking science with religion isn't a good idea.

Science is doing the linking by acting like a religion with regard to science theories.

[kaitou.kidd]

Science is a method into figuring out the way the physical universe works. Religion is set of values and beliefs that people live by. The closest that they get, to me, is that some people believe that science and god work hand-in-hand, while others believe that one completely disproves of the other. But, ultimately, these two subjects have two completely different concepts. I wouldn't say the scientific method is a "ritual".

[groll]

Science is not.
Scientism is.

you got it right there, science is just a tool to gather information with scrutiny, scientism is a way of believing that all things can be explain base to science.

Scientism is not even a religion it is just a extreme belief that everything can be explained by scientific methods. Religion in the right sense is a way of life, it is a guide to live a moral life. It is not an explanation of nature rather it focuses on how people should live their lives. In this sense scientism is not in line with religion it is like a cult.

[zythen]

Not at all. Science is actually closer to the opposite of religion. Religions guard their dogma against reasoned criticism, but science invites, rewards and embraces reasoned criticism.
