Well, of course they can. God was evolved from apes. Once God was born, he made Adam and Eve, which gave birth to us all.yian

God and Science? Yes. Maybe God created science.

God and the Bible written as we know it? No.

At my school, they've really been driving it home that they want religion and science to coexist. Now that most people believe in evolution and other scientific theories, it would be suicide for them not to accept the change.

God and the Bible written as we know it? No.

In my opinion, Science and God are the same. Everytime someone uses science to figure out a myster of the universe, they figured out how God did something. My idea of evolutionis that it does exist, but that's what God used to create humans. I feel that the bible's explanation of "God created Adam from dust" was taken far too literally. Scientists believe that life started from dust, such basic elements found in the earth in a primordial soup.Life eventually from that soup, and here we are. Makes perfect sense to me, but that's just me.

Not just you. I agree with what you said.

adam = dust

eve = gasses :P

I share the same ideas JPL :D though I have a sort of lazy view about an omnipotent being. it just pressed the button for the big bang and watched the show.

As do I.

Didn't Einstein say something to the effect of science and relgion both trying to say the same thing, but in different ways?

A bit of a curiousity I soppose..

Science was developed to benefit humanity by providing logical answers from methodical experiments to aid in the understanding of the natural phenomena in our world. Religion strives for the same objective, but skipping the logical answer part.

God and Science? Yes. Maybe God created science.

God and the Bible written as we know it? No.

God didn't create science. Galileo Galilei did... unless Galileo is your God? To any astronomer that may be the case.

That very well could be right, but we can't take everything said in the Bible as a metaphor. That said, how do we know what is symbolic and what isn't?

actually, a form of science is now trying to prove that god exists. So, I think the answer is yes. Crimson_Faith

They can coexist, but not genuinely.CptJSparrow

Here's the thing that bothers me: when a part of the Bible is proven wrong, it is then considered "not literal" or a "metaphor".

Can they? To fight evil and to bring peace to the world? Is that even possible?mohan88

Of course not.

I think it's time for followers of Abrahamic religions to accept that most of what's in their books are metaphoric. It does disprove their religion.

And of course science and God can coexist. Einstein made it work.

They are not mutually exclusive.

First off, what is your definition of God? The All Powerful, All Seeing Bearded (I know I'm going to get flamed for this) Stoner? Or everything you see before you; life?

science was developed to disprove religion :|blooddemon666

NO. Science was developed to further the prosperity of man kind. Not to disprove one's set of beliefs, but to invent things, develop medicine, travel to space, etc.

IF Science were made for such a purpose to disprove religion, it's done a crappy job for a long time.

Dunno if this has been said or not, but...

Ya, when science proves that God does or does not exist
