Heidi Wrote:Science and religion can definitely coexist, it depends on what individuals believe. I believe pretty much all science where there is reasonable to strong evidence. I believe God created science as a way for the world to work. I believe that 64 million years ago dinosaurs walked on this planet. The fossils combined with geology, chemistry, physics, biology, and paleontology give some very strong evidence to us. What science can not say though is whether or not a God exists. And the answer will not necessarily affect science as we know it at all.
If that's your belief more power to you but sadly a majority of Christians believe that the earth is 6000 years old and that god created us and that science has no place in schools I also dislike that parents force there beliefs on there children but that's for another time. While you postulate a very nice scenario, do you think the Vatican is just going to come out and say "oh hey guys god isn't real we just use him to control the masses and kill others that don't believe in what we believe in for the past 958 years, and now that we are out we 100% support homosexual marriage."
Heidi, please don't take this as a personal attack, I'm not directing this at you but rather pointing out the logical Fallacies. when you first posted you identified yourself as agnostic now as Christian.
@Luxeraph Religion was our way of explaining things we couldn't understand it helped ingrain morals and keep order in society - but as for if we still need it, I do not belive so.
