Is science a religion?

[Wasarefi]

Science can never be considered as a religion. Only atheist believe everything in accordance to science and they too don't say science as a religion. Its a form of art which has the proof.

[Tlaxaxa]

Maybe. But with more evidence to back it up than you gave against it. And more important it gives a framework to understand and predict events. And it has worked well so far.

[BADecker]

Check the definitions of science and religion. You will find that they overlap. Science can be a religion to some. Religion can be viewed from a scientific standpoint by some. But this isn't always true.

The point? At times science is a religion, and at times it isn't.

[MyNameIs Trung]

I don't know, but i think science wouldn't like to be a religion. In fact, they try to destroy them with proofs.

[KingScorpio]

While many in main stream science claim to be atheist and believe in the Big Bang and the eventual Deep Freeze due to entropy. Is it not curious to consider that the very underpinnings of this belief is based on mathematics, was it too created in the big bang? if so how was it constructed? one digit at a time?

I think not it has always been there and will always remain its an eternal masterpiece that permeates every conceivable facet or reality yet in its self it is purely abstract. Without it nothing would exist, but it in itself it is nonexistent and existent at the same time. It is the language of the living universe. Its permutations are infinite, yet it did not grow, it has always been complete and eternal.         

science is a profession not a religion, also religious prophets like mohammed did their science on the world why else did he his preprophetic travels.

its what humans do to find solutions.

I do suppose that technology is a way of wondering, look for answers the usage of the senses and its gear to acquire information, verify iits validity, falsifying it at the identical time, and as soon as established it becomes reality.

For me science isn't always a religion considering technology is absolutely statistics and the search of latest ideas that eventually turns into reality. organized religion does not have that quest for data since it already claims to have established facts consistent with their books.

Separate the concept that a "writer" has to be in our photograph or desires to be benevolent, there's no evidence of both of those  residences in the universe. lets merely make the load of proof clever layout.

Maths is the abstract language of clever design it's miles the everlasting language of the universe, it has and usually will exist because 1+2 = 3 with our without the universe. The universe operates in line with essential mathematically predictable principals that are provable, consequently there's clever layout.

The dogma we must get beyond is the pollution of clever design by means of those who are looking for to corrupt it with morality or an outside identifiable source, it has neither it's far neutral. but that shrewd layout permeates the universe there can be no doubt or 1 + 2 could now not continually same three.

[Dimon404]

Of course not, these two are completely different things.

[Blanca_Gregory]

Pure science is not a religion. If the traditional methods of the scientific process are engaged, then science cannot be a religion. Since what is acceptable in science is built by experimentally proven and repeatable procedures, the major component of religion is missing. That component is faith. However, you should take note that much of what is referred to as science today is not in any way science. All the Big Bang, evolution theories and their likes are not science. They're just atheist's easy escape routes from life's big questions. And they only lead to more and more confusion.

[psvita]

I think science just tries to find the ultimate truth, it's a continous model.

[Dolmar]

I honestly don't think it is. Religion requires, at least on some level, faith that what you believe in is true (assuming you believe in a literal adaptation of the bible). Science on the other hand asks you to question theories and is the main driving force behind new discoveries. People that simply accept the state of things and believe "that's that and that's the way it always has been" aren't going to be pushing the envelope of human success anytime soon.

Just my 2 cents  Wink

[chrisnewsome]

I think that yes, science is not a religion. Why do I say this? It is because science is defined as "intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.", while religion is defined as "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods."

[napoliground]

science not religion, but a belief, look like the same of religion without prophet story

[Cryptojuni]

Science is not a religion, Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe while Religion is a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements. So, there is a distinguishable difference.

[krasheed11]

Science is a way to learn himself and Universe.

[sinhviar]

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".

[RichardPfeiffer001]

Religion is a great way to control people and everyone has to understand it. If everyone will do what he wants we will be in a chaos. That's why religion is a very important part of our life. But from my point of view there is no God, but there is a faith.

[Kelvin bruyne]

I dont think we should relate everything with the religion. Science offer us reasoning, logic and facts where as religion offers none of these.

[contagioncf]

depends on the perspective

[Bravijaya]

No, science can be proven by our brain (sense) while religion sometimes cannot be explained, we have to use our feeling (non sense things).
