Science vs. Religion
- KoZeN 16y agoI do try and avoid these arguments for obvious reasons but one simple point I'd like to make: At no point did Stephen Hawking say "God did not create the universe" He did however, clearly state that it is not necessary to invoke God into the creation of the universe, meaning he believed there is now enough information to quantify the beginning of the universe without being mysticised by the process and assuming some greater power must have been involved.

- jameskilton 16y agoThe whole premise of this debate is flawed at its core, but keeps propagating because of the flawed idea that religion is supposed to explain physical phenomenon (creation of the Universe, existence of life, Earth orbiting the Sun, to name a few). Science and Religion asks and attempts to answer completely different questions. Science asks "How does this happen" and "Why does this do that". Religion asked "Why does this all even exist?" and "What's our purpose in life?" Full disclosure, I'm a Christian, and the way I see it is that we were put in this Universe and given the brains and capability to try to understand the Universe we live in. IMO to discount Science and the findings thereof is an affront to God and His creation. It's a shame that in this modern day and age we are still arguing the same things we were hundreds of years ago.
