Pew: Religion and Science

[archaeologist55]

from PRC:

"From the heresy trial of Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei four centuries ago to the uproar over Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, religion and science have often been seen as being in conflict. But are religious faith and the scientific enterprise really at odds with each other?

"A new Pew Research Center survey examines this question through the lens of American public opinion and across a range of scientific topics. We found that a majority of Americans (59%) say that science is often in conflict with religion, with only 38% saying the two areas are mostly compatible. Here are five key findings from the report...."

well research polls are tricky and can get people to say a yes when they meant to say no just because of the way the questions are worded. secular science is in conflict with the Bible, the Church and Christianity but real science is not.

Pew Research is not known for being "tricky".

consider the source. PEW is not a christian organization, then consider the fact that many people probably do not respond honestly to poll questions

There's nothing anyone else can do about dishonest responders, and if Pew were a Christian org, I would suspect that all its religious data was biased in favor of Christianity.

depends, christians are supposed to be honest and not lie so bias should not play a role in their work

So Christians never lie?

What other sins don't we do, so that Christ has died for us in vain?

i think you missed the words 'supposed to be' when you read my post

[Ezra]

Genuine science can never be in conflict with Bible truth. Why?  Because the same God who established moral and spiritual laws also established natural laws, and science is the exploration and exploitation of natural laws. Nothing more. After science we have the metaphysical, the spiritual, and the supernatural.

However we do have a lot of pseudo-science today (going beyond the limits of science), and we also have a lot of atheism being promoted as the religion of scientists.  But there are many scientists who are both Christians and true scientists.

I didn't miss "depends," but I think you missed out on a concept called "reality" because Christians, like all sinners, often do what we're not supposed to.

I didn't use the word 'depends'.
