Is science a religion?

[SuperVillain]

No, science is a foe to religion. The more intelligent person the less he is religious

Science is not a religion. In classical belief systems, you accept without question. But science is based on experimentation and observation. Scientists are questioning. Scientific theories develop over time. But belief systems are not changed.

Science != Religion

I agree with you on part of science. Science is facts and hard evidance, so in sciend there is eithar truth or false answer. But religion is not blind belief, for some people that is. There are those who choose to be blind. But there is also questioning in religion, there is diferent understanding of same sentence. Religion is not something that you need to believe blindly, well that is what I think.

Sounds like belief in science theory. Science theory is something that is not known to be factual. Yet there is usually some fact behind it or within it somewhere. When someone believes that the theory is fact, in the face of not knowing it to be fact, and especially if he is adamant in expressing his "faith," he has a religion going for himself.

We knew there was a religion that emphasizes science called scientology (Tom Cruise & John Travolta are followers of scientology)

Scientology is not much different from atheists, but more real and believe the human spirit in synergy with universe, if we are able to control the potential of the soul and connect with the universe, true potential of human will be formed.

This religion is taking essence of various religions of the east, and philosophy of science from west. So we are not surprised scientology has its own church and "borrow" the cross of Christ as a symbol of their religion. They refused if equated with a particular religion.

This is the answer of the question op. Whether science is a religion? the answer is yes. There are people who have admitted it.

[BADecker]

The things you live by and are committed to in your life are your religion. Science in the strict sense of the word is not a religion. But many people treat science theory as fact without knowing that it is fact.

For example. People believe that Einstein's E=MC² is truth. But it is just theory... not known to be true for sure. Also, many people believe Big Bang Theory to be factual. But there is no way that it will ever be able to be proven correct even though many aspects of it seem logical. Believers in this kind of science have a religion going for themselves.

Re: Is science a religion?

Yes, see the Roman Imperial Cult.
*cough* Cat Licks.
No if you groove with the fundamentals ... observe. guess the why, publish. observe again. analyses the accuracy of the guess. predict. REPEAT.

I don't believe that science is a religion because science base their fact through research with evidence while religion is not base on research .

[fasdorcas]

we don't said it a religion because it is far away from it and it is much more to discover from here..... i think is something incomplete..... to be said that the there is no God and world creates by its own on the basis of science..... i think i am not from this school of thaughts and i believe in creator........

Ok I think I understand where you get the idea that science is religion.

Most scientists reject religions.  That is the only characteristic that is similar to a religion.  As most religions do not accept other religions.

There is no belief in the theories as you say.  The position is that based on the physical evidence, scientists theorize how the world might work.  Those theories can be right or wrong.  There are many theories that were wrong in the past and I am sure some of the present theories will be proven wrong.

If you want to call science a religion, I have no problem with that just make sure to call it religion of reason or rational religion.  And call all other religions religions of delusion or delusional religions.

A big difference.

Either way I am not sure why would someone want to call science a religion.  The scientific world view is not based on fiction. Religious one is.

Many scientists might SAY that they reject religion, but all you need to do is go through this NASA website to see that they don't - https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html. The simple thing that you can look for is all the links where they talk about big bang like it is fact. Since they don't know it is fact, they are making/have made a religion of believing in it.

Look at how long people have talked about the theory of relativity as though it were fact. We still don't know that it is fact, but people have talked for decades as though it is. This includes multitudes of scientists.

Science is a religion in the sense that many people are treating it that way.

Pure science is made up of facts. The FACT about science theories is that they are not known to be factual. But when we treat them as though they are factual, and when we live like they are factual, we have made a big religion out of science.

Because of all this, the scientific world view is based on fiction. It is a religious world view.

I don't believe that science is a religion because science base their fact through research with evidence while religion is not base on research .

The largest of the formal religions base their beliefs on research of their holy books. Lately, because science has become a religion because scientists believe science theory, formal religions have taken on researching science, as well.

Many science theories have been proven false, or at least that they should not even be considered theories. Among them are big bang theory, black hole theory, and theory of relativity. Yet scientists are so in love with these theories, that they believe them to be true, when they know that they are not even worthy of being a theory.

Science is becoming religion in the eyes of scientists, and their followers.

Starting with the preconceived, presupposed, blind guess that their holy book is correct (a fallacy of course), and then trying (and failing) to hammer that square peg into science's round hole is NOT researching science, because that isn't science.

Formal religions have long and rich history of trying to conceal the truth, (usually involving some form of violence), to keep the gears of their lie machine turning.
You're just doing the same thing your forefather before you did and their forefathers before them etc......, on and on and on.
You're just another brick in the wall stopping humanity from seeing the truth. But look out BADlogic, that old lime mortar in that wall of yours is starting get a bit crumbly. Better do something quick....  

The truth always comes out in the end BADlogic, always does, however much you try to stop it.

??Now I am smilled like never before hehe little confused science a religion?You are funny person really very funny.No science isnt a religion ,science is science I mean science is which scientists like and they are doing things to discover more things about our world and all universe because it can be really useful for all humans which are not humaneaters or from other civilization which dont have nothing with modern world.Religion is like example christianity,jewish,budism,islam but science can only proof us that something exist.Science is connected with religion because it show us how things from Bibilia exist and it gives us more gifts from God.

Only children start with a notion that a holy book is correct. And that is because their parents have told them so. Since you bring it up, you show your childishness.

Not all formal religions have a long rich history of violence. Simply because people connect their religion with a certain name doesn't make it so that they have the same religion. For example, there are Muslims who say peace. There are Muslims who say violence. There are essentially two Muslim religions there. And these may be divided into denominations.

One religion that doesn't have a long rich history is the science religion. It doesn't formally call itself a religion, but many have seen through this, and recognize it for what it is.

Now that we recognize clearly that God exists...

My brick wall is crumbling all over your foolishness. It is hiding you, and the thing that is revealed when that happens is God.

But when scientists guess about things, they have a theory.
When their theory is believed even though it is guesswork, they have a religion.
Science is a religion for those who believe science theory to be true.

See this is what I was talking about, this nonsense is just delibrate misinformation.
Trying to hide something by any chance old BADlogic? Trying to keep a wall up by any chance?

There are two separate meanings of the word theory: in common usage, the word theory means just a hunch, but in science, a theory is a powerful explanation for a broad set of observations. To be accepted by the scientific community, a theory (in the scientific sense of the word) must be strongly supported by many different lines of evidence.

Anybody that claims scientfic theories are just "guesses" is trying to hide something and should be red flagged.

When their theory is believed..It's not believed until it's been proven so..
So bang goes your theory about theory..

Everybody lives by something. Wiki explains science: Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. We (humans) can't test the universe, [we can test] only our own explanations and predictions about it. And to complicate matters, we use the only [and often abused but beautiful] tool - language - which has the capability to build constructs, which exceeds the (limited) descriptions that pure intellectual and practical activity - that encompasses the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment - would have allowed, had all the intellectual and practical activity been done without being enveloped in the one thing even scientists have to use - language.

You simply lack a basic understanding of the scientific theories you refer to.  The scientific theories are validated by DIRECT observations or have mathematical proofs.  Sometimes technology to validate theories
is behind the theoretical derivations.

The scientific theories are not based on fiction.  I think YOU think they are fiction.  The rest of the world thinks otherwise.

Who is delusional?

I'm telling you, you have been brainwashed.  One day you'll understand.  

Remember this post.  Remember I told you so.

The scientific theories are not based on fiction..
Theory once proved so becomes fact..Then no longer a theory it's fact..

A theory probable truth but not so..Proved to be so no longer a theory but fact ..

God was once a Theory many scientist have tried to prove the fact of god..
Then you got to ask the bible god?..Or a god i am making up?..
So after 5000 years or more we come to a conclusion that the theory of god is there is no god..

Now if you are saying something must of made all this WHO OR WHAT IS YOUR GODS NOW ..
Another theory..FUZZY BALL OF LIGHT..Pray to it mad bitches..
YES YOU ARE ..you need someone to bow to ..OH KISS MY FEET..
