http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_thinkers_in_science

 

A list of christian scientist. Christians question things just as scientist do, and some are scientist also. So just as science corrects itslef with new info so does religion. How are these different? It is a self correcting by members who include them selves in the religion. Just as you say for the scientific communtiy. All I am saying is hawkings breakthrough has no bearing on religion. How did it prove a god can't exist or didn't exist?

Again, religion doesn't correct itself, as the correction comes from outside it's field (from science, or from society in the case of things like divorce).

And what's the point of that list anyways?

They are christian, they made break throughs, christains follow those breakthroughs? Do you not see I am saying it is the same thing? why is it ok for science to correct itself but not religion? If you believe in god you can't be a scientist? is that what you are saying?

 

And just to add, the catholic shurchas a whole does have a process for bringing in scientific facts that do not agree with curent ctholic believes, it just lags behind theories being published as they go through it more finely, and also look at how i t will affect their other current beliefs. I'll see if I can find what they call the process. But would be similiar to scientific review of theories by other scientis in a given community.
