Religion or Science - How do they compare?

Religion is about authority and depends on people (preachers etc), while science is about process independent of people, and you don’t need to be an accredited scientist to do science.Enjoy

Which means he’s asking about a religious response, not a scientific one. Indeed, because we don’t know everything, there are beliefs we take on trust ... at least until they are shown to be erroneous.EnjoyEdited by RAZD, : /

Hi Paboss and welcome to the fray. You can format to make lists easily -- see dBcodes/listsThis formats the list with an indent:

• Why do we see contradictions in the Bible? We have fallen minds
• Why do our moral values differ from those of God? We are fallen beings
• etc

Well, well, well.This gets us back to open minded skepticism ... There is the bias that something not discovered/evidenced but not negated still means it doesn't exist, but this has been shown false many times. Just as theory cannot be considered "truth" because evidence may turn up that negates it. Skepticism should always be tempered with open mindedness to the possibilities that may become known.But this is also where we get back to Message 1:

RELIGION:
All your questions answered ...
... trust us ...

SCIENCE:
All your answers questioned ...
... trust nothing ...

The essential difference is that religion believes it has answers (as Faith's posts amply demonstrate) while science questions everything, ... especially including the unknown.Enjoy

To understand how things work.What are the motives of religion?Enjoy

And yet, religion is amazingly shy on how that understanding is tested and verified, while a number of scientific studies and investigations have shown that some of religions "explanations" for how things work are patently false.Meanwhile the short list of scientific discoveries that have been proven false by religion is:

Really Faith? Really???Once again for the umpteenth time see any one of these age measurement threads

1. Age Correlations and an Old Earth Version 1 number 1 (297 posts)
2. Age Correlations and an Old Earth: Part II. Version 1 number 2 (306 posts)
3. Age Correlations and an Old Earth: Version 1 No 3 (formerly Part III) (357 posts)
4. Age Correlations and An Old Earth, Version 2 No 1 (currently 578 posts)
5. Part 1 - Biological Counting Systems
   
6. Part 2 - Physical/Chemical Counting Systemsand
   Part 3Part 3 - Radiometric and Cosmogenic Measuring Systems

The reason that these threads continue to grow and expand is because there is NO valid contradictory information, while additional supporting information keeps getting added. Belief is not evidence or fact or anything but wishful thinking.Until you CAN produce contradictory evidence, not just to any one method of dating, but also to why they all correlate with each other, then [i]not ONE of the methods is invalidated.You are aware of these threads, you have admitted you can't explain ANY of the methods fitting your fantasy age, and yet you blather on as if they were just invented.Get a grip and shut up about age until you have evidence.Enjoy

What I have is evidence, objective empirical evidence, verified and validated from many sources reaching the same result: the earth is significantly older than any YEC fantasy delusion. There is no evidence that shows a young earth that is in any way conclusive of anything other than delusion. What you think is irrelevant and immaterial: until you actually have evidence you don't have evidence. Any belief that it will turn miraculously turn up is just self delusion. Then you need to stop making claims of a young earth until such time as you can actually address the issues. It is dishonest to spread YEC lies about the age of the earth.Enjoy
