| Cyrus said: I think the main difference between the religious and scientific thoughts is that religion tries to explain the world while science tries to describe the world. By that i mean ideas like god give you an explanation of how and why the world exists. This is of course without proof and depends on your faith in that explanation. On the other side science doesn't claim to have an explanation for anything that can't(yet) be proven, but science is there to describe how the world looks like(where and why ever it came from) |
Let me add-on to that.
The way how i see it is that if we don't understand something or can't explain why something is happening, then religious people will say its because God is doing it, and because the Bible says so.
However, over many years people used to believe the sun rises every morning because of God, and that the Sun goes around the Earth. Well, due to science and physics we learned it is not so at all. So, with that said, I say whatever we don't understand right now, science will eventually figure it out in the future just like how we learned why the apple fall to Earth, and why the planets move through the solar system.
