Will science eventually replace religion?

[tlrdx91]

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

.

Actually, some us have experienced and seen things proven by science. I don't think you understand that there is a consistency in science and with it an ability to carry out experiments repeatedly. Science is empirical and based on observation and experience. It isn't built on beliefs or opinions as is religion.

With modern experimentalist research, you will probably need a lab and funding but you can carry out some simple experiments as they did centuries prior. Here are some simple H.S. experiments http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/HomeExpts/HomeExperiments.pdf   you can try at home. So, a lot of those physical demonstrations will show you that something isn't true because Newton, Galileo, Kepler, etc said it but rather they proved it.

Science does not care for the humanities it doesnt care for the arts,politics etc.Thats why it wont overtake Religion to even believe it wil its naive about humanity.The mastery and knowledge of science being only available to a select few intelligentsia (illumanti esque I know but think on a scale where only the harvards yales ,MITs have access to the best technology best research and funding etc) will dampen that from ever happening.Most people have no clue about science or chemistry because they are only taught the bare minium of chemistry and bare minium of biology and the various other science related fields.Until you see a swooping change in curriculm science wil be relegated to its status as only something for the think tanks,well researched well funded.Thats partially the reason why all major breakthroughs with stem cells,cancer ,aids etc are all locked away or put aside for a later date.Solely because the select few people who have the knowledge are just that a few and nobody is able to challenge them in research and development and truly make it competive.

For those who will potentialy argue that the individuals who go to the major unversities are the only ones knowledgeable and smart enough you must ask this what if we start teaching math and science seriously in america and started teaching kids about theory and what not seriously not halfway like we really do.Who is to say a kid who is smart or a teenager who has grown up learning about science and understanding it wont be to conduct expirements and attempts at a high level if he was given access to real working labs and real machinery and real teachers and professors. This is the overhaul needed to increase breakthroughs in science and change the medical field and various other fields up.

exactly we can prove electricity exist.... i mean ur online and have thee ability to post... its proof isnt limited to a higher deity, nor does it evidence depends on a following. it also can be seen/witnessed by all. for example the science/engineering in an automobile can be shown and witnessed by all. it isnt dependent on beliefs, a following, a certain lifestyle nor a devotion. now whether u can grasp and understand it is another issue. that doesnt invalidate it because the proof is in the evidence. Its not a true statement to say oh since i dont understand engineering so that means a car doesnt work, because despite if you are educated enough to understand it or not, if you turn those keys the car will run.

You cannot show/provide evidence of a heaven or hell, u cannot provide evidence that jesus exist, nor did he walk on water etc.... it cannot be seen/witnessed by ppl, and it cannot be shown how it was done. so the concept of ppl not understanding it, or how it works is invalid because u nor anyone has ever shown it to be true or work. So of course ppl arent going to understand how something works when u cant even show it working. thats where believe/hope/faith comes in.

Again it ties into minorities/uneducated/closed minded/ppl who are oppressed etc.... and y it is so effective. because a lifestyle of well education/open mindedness/ abundance of money/resources/ power and respect isnt seen by them, the concept cant be understood by them, they dont know how it is/works it hasnt ever been shown/proven to them so all they have is faith/hope aka religion. their is no evidence in it... and it isnt witnessed by all.

Last I checked minorities and the "oppressed" weren't the only ones that practice religion

i never said they were the only i stated thats y it is so effective in keeping them content... i also said that religious following has a larger impact/more importance in ppl/areas that have these factors. Again look at areas w/o minorities, w/o poor education systems, w/o oppression etc... and see the amount of devoted followers/churches etc... And compare it to areas of ppl who arent oppressed, have power, have higher learning systems, arent oppressed. I can assure you u will see less religious ppl/less churches.

Its the same as liquor stores/crime/guns jails etc... Am i saying their are no guns/jails/crime etc in areas of ppl in power, higher learning systems etc... no. But compare it to any projects... etc and its not even close to being comparable... john creeks/alpharetta georgia one of the highest gross income areas in the us. with one of the least amount of minorities, one of the highest education systems, also has one of the fewest amount of churches... while mobile alabama, has one of the worst education systems in the us, has one of the highest minorities per capita, one of the poorest cities in the us... and guess what

DING DING DING... is one of the top cities in places of worship per capita. I mean i could go on and on with several cities aka hartford connecticut vs detroit michigan, indianapolis indiana vs gary indiana, so on and so forth... so are you saying in is one big huge coincidence? are u one of those ppl who say oh detroit has less jobs, less opportunities, more minorities, more liquor stores, and more drugs... then less say providence rhode island but the fact one city has more crime then another those attributes have no factors in why things are that way.

Explain this then y is it the top 5-10 places for income/education/less crime etc are at the bottom for places of worship/followers... and y is it the top places of crime/poor education/less opportunities/low income rank at the top for followers/places of worship.
