So you think people who believe in a vast power, i.e. God, they can't believe in the vastness of space?

[–]mtch3lh[S] -2 points-1 points ago

No, I believe that people who say God created humans in his image, and believe that the earth is 10,000 years old don't believe in the vastness of space. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Ah, I forgot about that. I'm a Muslim, so I've never been exposed to this kind of thinking, but I was taught that science is synonymous with religion, as in religion is the why, and science is the how. In fact, we even believe, with all the technology we have, a much of the universe we've "discovered", we only have as much as one molecule of water in the ocean of knowledge of the universe and beyond.

I believe science and SPIRITUALITY will eventually go side by side beautifully. (Quantum physics being a great example of this.) I do not, however, believe that science will be synonymous with religion.

[–]uniquecannon 0 points1 point ago

I may have used to wrong term. Not synonymous, but a relation dependent on each other.

[–]mtch3lh[S] 0 points1 point ago

Synonymous was fine, but I do not feel as if science will ever say, "The Bible, the Koran, or the Torah is fact." I believe that the fundamentals of religion will be proven. I do not believe that some of the stories, nor the concept of heaven and hell will be proven.

This is where people get tripped up in the argument of "religion vs science", and what I'm saying here is the concept I believe in, but I don't believe science is meant to be used to discredit religion, but to explain how the world and the universe works. Science followers tend to go hard in saying something along the lines "just because we can calculate lightspeed travel means there's no god", but how do we come to the conclusin that there is no god, scientifically I mean. But as you said, there are religious people who make the same claims from the flipside, that dinosaur bones are fake and the universe is only the size of the milky way. Of course I can't "prove" there's a god, but can we prove the opposite, when we can only understand the rules of nature and space? And who set this rules, a question I always have for athiests and science followers.
