Will science eventually replace religion?

Seriously.

This crap is sad.

Dude is out here defining words? Get the hell out of here. 
Whats sad is your constant back pedaling and youe steady contradictions
Back pedaling?

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND EVOLUTION!

You asked why there are still monkeys!

You don't have the PEDIGREE to hang with the caliber of this conversation. Step it up my man. You're behind. The world is passing you up.

High School seniors are laughing at you homie.

I am MORE than happy to educate you on what the FOUNDATION OF MODERN BIOLOGY rests on...all you've got to do is ask.

I've tutored kids on the matter.

But COME ON homie. You're better than this.

So, how are you guys any different then a religious person saying, "It's true because my pastor told me so and the bible proves it's the truth"?  No difference.  You testify for something that you've never seen or experienced for yourself, but you denounce religion for the same reason.   Hmmm

.
PROOF.

I can prove EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF MY PHYSICS BOOK. CONSISTENTLY. ACCURATELY. 

Can you prove whats in your bible? 

Lets start on page one. Let me know when you're ready. 
 
There was a study that said the human brain is hardwired for belief in a higher power. Even if you don't care for religion, why are you treading on someones right to believe what they want.
 
If you're referring to what I THINK you're referring to, you missed the point.

Its the fact that people WANT to feel that something is there. 

Its like this. Would you feel happy knowing that your girl was out shopping for you...what if you realized that your girlfriend didn't exist? 

People really think this entity exists...but it doesn't have any stance on whether or not this thing does. 

Granted I know about dopamine in the brain and how some will argue that sensation from spirituality is the same as being high on drugs or what not, but why not let people do them?
...what?

Maybe that's why we have such a bad drug problem as a nation. People are not allowed to truly believe in things without persecution.
Is this a functional sentence? You're not allowed to believe what you want?

Are you SERIOUS?

Christians are persecuted? 

GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

When everyone's world is perfect, science will replace religion. Until then, some people need the strength religion gives them to keep living this crappy life.
Essentially.

You convince some poor family that god has a better plan for them than cleaning toilets in life ...but you get the reward when you die, then its all good. 

Hope is a hell of a drug. 
 
You're welcome.

You're ENTIRELY welcome.

I just hope you've opted out of Obamacare. Someone needs your space in line. 
I wasn't thanking you. I was thanking the establishment for using barbaric tactics to learn about science and medicine.


Do you think that you and the scientific establishment are one in the same?


daaag...explains a lot
Damn...you should see what med students do to dead bodies.

SHOCKING.

I guess we should just have guessed how to cure rabies...right? (rabies is the deadliest disease but you wouldn't know...thanks to...TA DA...SCIENCE!)

That's exactly my point this is FuturMD and Atheist in general argument towards religion.  There beliefs in science are a direct reflection of there arguments against religion.  The funny thing is it's true they are one in the same.  I don't believe in religion, but I do believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins.  But for me to say all science is bad is just as insane as FuturMD saying all wars, killing, and mayhem is because of religion.  On both sides you have bad apples.  So to demonize the entire side is crazy
but the main difference is that one science is a process and with this process their are proven irrefutable facts.it allows growth, room for error and progression. it proves a cause and a effect. religion has not EVER done any of these things.

Just like you said you BELIEVE jesus etc... there isnt a process involved in this, nor can you prove or provide irrefutable facts to support your claim. A scientist can state rain comes from the sky... can show you the process in which it occurs, can show a cause and effect, and it can be seen. Nothing about any religion falls into that category.

Same with any other facets of religions, you cannot show prove provide findings, nor prove a cause and effect for sinning and ending up in hell.

It can be shown and shown that if you commit a crime aka cause you can end up in jail aka effect.

But the og answer is no. religion will never go away. there will always be racism, separatism, classism, and poor downtrotten ppl, there will always be an oppressor and a oppressed, our society will always have a crabs in a barrel mentality, a hierarchy. and religion is used to create these situations, control the masses that are subjected to these conditions, and keep ppl content with these conditions by the powers that be. and for the ppl who are under these conditions, it wil be there as a coping mechanism, a answer to questions they either a. in poor education/impoverished who are limited to educating themselves, b. in conditions where opportunities are limited, and outlook is bleak at best. c. closed minded uneducated areas.

If you notice churches etc.... are like armed service recruitment centers.... they are few and far between in areas that are rich in opportunities, education, and money. but areas that are impoverished, oppressed, inequality, less educated, less opportunities, etc....

if u notice religion is only prevalent and is significant under these factors... do u think that its one big coincidence? are you saying that god/allah etc is only for ppl who are uneducated, or from areas who education system is lower, or ppl who currently/historically are oppressed, treated less then equal, or areas where the ppl have less in terms of resources aka opportunities/money/power etc,,,,

To compare lets look at it like this... where is religion more significant... sherman oaks or compton, hollywood or harlem, miami or mississippi, so on and so forth... why is it most major religious crusades are in 3rd world countries as oppose to rodeo drive? why is it that every single war the losers had those factors and guess what... they were heavy religious. And also do u think its a coincidence that religious is very significant in areas under these factors...

Show/name a area anywhere religious is very significant and i promise u it will be a area with ppl who are oppressed/discriminated against or closeminded, have fewer or limited opportunities/resources/power/money and are uneducated or education isnt high standards...
I'm out of reps to give, but great comment. 

I've always admired how quickly churches mobilize on social issues though. 

One phone call can have 100 bodies out in front of the court house ready to protest whatever the pastor says. 

Thats power, for real.

Look here is the main distinction.

Religion doesn't let you change your opinion. In the eyes of the religion, the religion is not wrong. It is inerrant. It is infallible. It is absolute. Its based on faith. 

Science lets you change your opinion. It doesn't claim to be absolute, inerrant, or infallible. Its open to considering new evidence and learning more about the world. It is based on evidence.

This is hilarious. People are so riled up about this topic. It's a debate and so many of you fail to provide the facts to continue the debate. Religion is not black and white nor can it be. There is so much gray that even different religious institutions debate the words of the bible. In fact, you can blame religion for many wars or persecutions the world has experienced. Either way, believe in your religion if you feel that helps you get through your life and act a certain way. More power to you. Do not let someone elses opinion sway you in any way nor should you try and sway a person who believes only in science.

Science has always been black and white. It's based on if you can prove a theory utilizing research. If this is how you base your life on, then go right ahead.

At the end of the day, I believe that you should never believe in absolutes. Only a sith believes in absolute.

Keep an open mind just in case there is that 1% the other side may be true or have some validity Our universe is a big place and we have barely scratched the surface to understand our place in time.

Woo sah (rub your ear lobes)!!!

thats y i always said the hope game is one in the same as the dope game.... priest/pastors etc...=pushers/dope dealers, crack/meth/coke=bible/koran etc.... dope lets u escape be content/cope with situations... religion does the same thing.

Hey man...like I said. Thank Horus for we have freedom of speech. 
 
People are more likely to switch groups with more members. There are already nine countries that are making their way towards extinction of religion. We are approaching a new age of reason.

This is that dumb s**t I'm talking about ain't no this side this.  This side that.  The Occupy movement brought thousands of people out to all the major cities of the nation.  Thousands each that started with one web posting.  You keep trying to make a divide when it's all the same thing just different masking.  It's people like you that create wars, indifference, racism, etc.  Because there is someone just like you on the other side that only want to see it on sided

shoelyesses

Have you been inside a Sherman Oaks house hold or a Compton house hold?  Have you been in social networks in both areas?  If you have you would now that it's the same s**t different masking.  Just like science and religion.  The only thing bringing on the Godlessness is sheltered children that don't have no real true struggle under there belts.  The old heads in Sherman Oaks are very about implying that they be religious in there actions, but some still do whatever they wan't at the same time.  Mostly the dads.  Which is no different then households in Compton.  If anything I would say Sherman Oaks is on that tip much harder then Compton.

How do you know there isn't a process to believe in Jesus?  You think you just wake up and say I believe in this, and poof it happens just like that.  I was given a gun, beer, and weed before I was given a bible I wasn't raised like this.  So it just didn't happen.  It was a process of trial and error.  Which I'm sure is the same for other believers.  God doesn't prove himself to the world he proves himself to the ones that whole heartily believe in him.  What makes you guys fools over a true believer is we have personal experience as or evidence, and you guys just have words of some man you've never seen or met.  You say science isn't fa sure, but you defend evolution like it is fa sure.  What evidence other then the word of another man, and bunch of other like minded people saying "uhm that sounds about right".  But no one really knows or has cold hard facts.  Other than you mix this element with that element and you get this reaction.

:{ "Only a sith believes in absolute" is an absolute. :lol

And if you wanna to use a Star Wars line, consider what Anakin said when he turned to the dark side. "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil". Vader never thinks he is the bad guy, same way all these "terrorist" think they are doing God's will.

All good though.

From what i've seen, LakersUscTrojan is up on game for the most part...I just hated that phrase because people always used it as some sort of shut down....AND they assumed you were into starwars.

I only marginally am...I don't know anything beyond what I can remember.

you still havent answered or disproved what i said..... look up any area that has minorities, poor ppl, ppl in areas with poor education, places where opportunities are limited, etc.... and i can guarantee there will one... be a huge religious following, a significant amount of churches, plenty of walmarts/dollar stores, and lower overall education standards/lack of elite higher institutions... it will be in an area where there is oppressed ppl, ppl that are separate/divided... or intolerable ignorant/close-minded.

Prove me wrong otherwise. Take a place, anyplace in america hell the world... and look that these factors and i bet u 10 out of 10 religion will be heavy emphasized there.

As far as your u was giving a gun drugs etc... before a bible proves my point... it is still a means of coping with problems... dealing with unresolved issues, and answering your unanswered questions... Some ppl use dope, medicate themselves... you choose to use religion... Its the same idealogy.

You say God shows himself to those who believe... same can be said with kids and santa clause.... So again religion hasnt shown proved anything... Its not proof if only you can see it. Its not proof if you have no evidence, and no accounts, and no witnesses.

Science can prove medicine works.. science has witnesses that surgery heals help ppl, it can be seen by ppl outside of the person who administered it, it has witnesses, and can account for its actions... religion cant do any of these things...

You also said science is flawed because its findings, discoveries arent foolproof nor perfect.... Based on that logic so is god... Because if god made man in his image, and also god created man... hello man isnt perfect and man has flaws and sure isnt foolproof so....

The same arguments you state about science, religion falls right under that umbrella... Has science helped and hurt ppl sure.... but so has religion it has helped ppl become better ppl, it has inspired/was the catalyst for ppl doing great things that helped ppl, but it has also been the bi product for the demise of ppl, has hurt/killed ppl as well whether it be indirect/direct.

The main difference is that like you said science can and has revealed itself and been witnessed by all ppl, and has accounts that all ppl can see, whereas religion has only revealed itself to certain individuals, been witnessed by certain individuals, and its accounts by certain individuals...
 
Religion gives some people their moral fiber ,their strength and motivation. Science cant provide that because science doesnt care for rights,ethics etc. Thats why it wont replace Religon.Science doesnt care if you tested your bomb ,disease,cures,viruses on Humans,rats,or apes .As long as the test results are good and provide and accurate conculusion science doesnt care .Science has no scrupples,Religion for better or for worse helps humanity out in the Moral sector.If various holy books didnt exist the world would be alot less pleasant to be in.Science can be used for pure evil of the highest level and so can religion or spiritual belief.A perverted view on both has produced some of histories most disgusting individuals Hitler and his Third Reich being one.
