3). St. Anselm sought to “gain evidence without the need of a corresponding real-world experiment” (Fehige, 2009, p. 249). According to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, St. Anselm’s argument was an “attempt to show that we can deduce God’s existence from, so to speak, the very definition of God” (Himma, n.d., para. 3). The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy further goes on to say that claims of existence usually require empirical evidence or research of some kind (Himma, n.d., sec.

We can use theories to answer creation or deny it, for religious science theories are different from atheist perspective. Religious science has a reason and more evidence tied to the past events even though some argue you cannot mix science with religion. This is based on discrimination as they both tie very well together. To set aside both differences and to seek the knowledge of a creator is the purpose of importance. Let us reason to our creator and help the mind seek the answers it ponders on when seeking understanding.

Scientists often describe their experiments and writings in religious terms, just as religious believers support combinations of belief and doubt that are “far more reminiscent of what we would generally call a scientific approach to hypotheses and uncertainty.” That just proves that even though they are not the same, religion and science have to be related somehow. Throughout the past century, many scientific s... ... middle of paper ... .... People will remain how they are, unwilling to change, even if it means it is creating a worse environment for everybody else. That is just how the world works, and how it will always work until somebody decides to make a change. Works Cited Clayton, Philip. Religion and Science: The Basics.

There are different viewpoints on the question “what is the universe made of?” I think that both science and religion offer their own explanation to this topic and they sometimes overlap, which creates contradictions. Therefore, I do not agree with Stephen Jay Gould’s non-overlapping magisterial, which claims that there is a fine line separating science from religion. That being said, I think the conflict between science and religion is only in the study of evolution. It is possible for a scientist to be religious if he is not studying evolution, because science is very broad and it has various studies. In this essay, I will talk about the conflict between religion and science by comparing the arguments from Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Dawkins.

I know that there is a higher power and that he has a plan. I do not always see that plan but believe my faith to be true. I do not believe in the theory of evolution and believe that evolution is completely incompatible with religion.

Craig even points out that God has made his way into the pages of astrophysics science book. (Try to find examples) He also declares that people who think science has buried God are simply out of date and out of touch with religion and religious studies. Craig then starts to talk about how science and religious studies are connected in a way. He mentions that science can both verify and falsify theological claims. Theology is the

In the book, Faith vs. Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible by Coyne, he explains how religion and science do not go hand in hand at all. He explains that there are many differences between the two fields but holds science as the upper hand between the two. In chapter two of the book, he explains how religion mostly believes all of their doctrines and faith-driven information to be true and all other types of information false. He claims that science is much more focused on the “truth about the universe.” As a scientist himself, he has experienced first hand as to how science is nowhere compatible with religion and that science and religion have different goals, which can never intertwine.
