How can one still have faith in God and still believe in science?

>believe in science
>believe
that's where you failed

because god is the truth.

>John 14:6 - I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

In every frame of reference, there will always be some notion of what is absolute (god), and some notion of the way things work (science).

Atheists do not and can not truly deny the existence of a god, they only swap science with religion, in a manner of saying that if something consistent with their worldview then it's , that if you can make something work it's justified.

>Atheists do not and can not truly deny the existence of a god, they only swap science with religion

can we please get a mod in here. tired of this Science VS Religion garbage

Trying to censor the truth, eh? Fuck off to reddit.

>evangelizing on the /sci board

Who made the Big Bang and set all the physical and mathematical laws?

Not believing in God is just a naive attitide that conflicts even your own morives ans principles. You believe everything can be explained rationally with evidence. Evidence clearly favors existence of God, yet you (and people lije you ofc) oppose God just because you feel do.

The more you know, the more you'll learn everything is made of God in all its perfection.

If you weren't illiterate enough to be able to read my post, you would see that I'm not arguing in favor of any religion, but rather describing what the concept of god itself is.

It's hilarious how militant atheists bash religion but don't even know how life itself came to exist.

inb4 religion

>If you weren't illiterate enough to be able to read my post
>illiterate

you friend are scientifically illiterate (proper usage) and should take yourself back to a board where its appropriate for you to discuss your religious cosmology.

>don't even know how life itself came to exist

Easy: God made all physical laws and metaphysical entities like mathematics.

... and you are literally illiterate because you seem unable to even understand English.

damn that's a really really good explanation for the origin of life.

How can creationists even come back from that?

By the way, I want to be clear I'm not trying to evangelize, but rather explaining the meaning of the word "god". It all has to do with what one's notion of what is absolute is.

In religion, "god" (the man in the sky) is taken as the absolute ruler of the universe, whereas in atheism, science takes the place of that.

If we were to believe that the laws of physics are simulated and some man in the sky is really calling the shots, then worshiping science would just be another way of worshiping the man in the sky.

bullshit
this is you:
>Atheists do not and can not truly deny the existence of a god, they only swap science with religion

the complexity of everything :/

really gets your noggin joggin

>i already know this shit nigga

Was Michelangelo a closeted atheist?

If anything it just means he was a pro at symbolism.

Christianity and Materialism are one and the same.

Notice the shape of a brain (in light red) around God. God was product of human mind all along.

numbers are real

Atheists want to believe in Ayy lmao's, but they don't want to believe in Ayy lmao's powerful enough to create a universe (given the fact that space is never ending and there are quite literally an endless amount of beings out there supposedly.)

To me, "God" would be the ultimate scientist. If he were to truly be the one to create all of this, then he would have to know how, he would have to know the calculations and scientific knowledge to do all of this. With that being the case, I'd say that it's pretty easy to believe in both.

>Atheists want to believe in
>believe in

this is where you failed and how everyone knows you're retarded

One who believes in God could say, that God created universe to follow some rules. And science is about finding out and understanding those rules.

Deist, yes.
Theist, no way.

nonono, first bugabuga-poo made god

>still believe in science?

Science isn't subject to your belief any more than algebra is.

Well done Veeky Forums, I'm impressed

>believing in science
science isn't some force that makes the world what it is. Science is a mechanism used to explain as much as we can.
I don't see how having faith in God detracts from this.

If you can prove the universe just exploded into being from no source but quantum chaos I think it's fairly evident that you also cannot disprove the event not happening repeatedly, or concurrently, or randomly.
Which raises the question of 'What's a multi -universal time scale?

proof pls

I'm a Catholic botanist, but I agree with Brother Consolmagno in his quote:
>Religion needs science to keep it away from superstition and keep it close to reality, to protect it fromcreationism, which at the end of the day is a kind ofpaganism– it's turningGodinto anature god.

>there can not be meaning without god
>yes there can
>WHOOPS IM GONNA NEED PROOF
there is no way to prove there can be meaning at all

Yes, but the god youre refering to is the one who programmed the mathematical structure the entire universe is built on starting from the big bang, so i guess he isnt a god, as much as he is a creator, but not a creator in the sense of individuality, but in the sense of the one who started the process

well that wasn't very convincing

too bad. if you think you're talking about anything when you talk about something as inocuous as "intrinsic meaning" then you need to stop shitposting

Thats right, im not the guy you replied to, but that is indeed right

that's right. no one can disprove god, you can't disprove unfalsifiable bullshit

Earth is stupid for trying to name God.
Somethings up there and we still mean nothing in the universe. He knows and we should too.

If pi is infinite than all things must exist....including ...insert anything.

If infinite ratios exists than zero must exists. Non-existence must also exist ...insert anything.

God is best thought of in negative terms...for example. God is NOT infinity. God is NOT existence.

The point is God is that thing that is beyond description. In a sense, consiousness,....but as was said...God is NOT conciousness.

So the question of god and science is so utterly irrelevant its a sad elementary borderline idiotic conversation for mental fapping and bickering

Tao is tao

...when one just cannot let go of a
juvenile belief system, no matter what
logic and evidence show

>unfalsifiable

take your popsci shit back to /reddit/.

I like the picture you posted.
I dont like your reasoning
Good to see that you start every sentence with a capital though.

Science examines "god´s creation". The mistake in the popular method of putting god in the gaps between our knowledge (e.g. all I don´t understand must be god) is that god get´s smaller with time. Most humans tend to make the mistake to see god above them, while he most likely is the sum of all parts of his creation. He will never speak to you, he can´t see you and he can´t read your thoughts, but if you see yourself as part of god then again he can do all these things. Through you. We all are the universe experiencing itself. Millions of years of evolution lead to a brain that is capable of asking itself the question that it can´t answer itself. "Why am I here?". We will never be able to answer this question, because the answer lies outside of the dimensions we can experience with our brain. This lack of capability triggers our intellect, because we are used to being able to use it to answer all questions. We get into thought loops (then what created the big bang? what was before it?). We build machines to find the answer. See the Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy. This is the question the universe is trying to find out currently. Do your best to come up with an answer, because there is no being above you that can answer this question.

If you believe in god, yourself, something entirely different, doesn´t really matter in the end. Humans always made up gods and will continue to do so. As they say "Gods created man and man created gods". You and god are the same. Your body consists literally of stardust that got created in the big bang, along time and all other matter and energy. Why would you stop to believe in yourself because of science? Science is a tool we created to learn. That´s what we are here for. Experiencing and learning.

Fuck my friends, rick and morty took them from me

>believe in science?

One does not "Believe" in science.

One accepts overwhelming evidence.

By having a screwed up terminology.
Stop calling it 'God'.

>science can't accept someone else got something right first
>decide to rename/rebrand it so science takes credit
Just like what happened with Planet X/Niberu

>Conspiracy Theorist: There's a planet beyond our solar system hidden to us called planet X.
>NASA: Planet X does not exist!!
>Conspiracy Theorist: YES IT DOES!
>NASA: Pluto is no longer a planet. Take that. How do you feel now
>Conspiracy Theorist: I feel bad. Why'd you have to do that to Pluto.
>NASA: Breaking News. There may be evidence of a planet hidden to us just outside out solar system. We're calling it Planet 9!

The need for a prime cause and the appearance of order/fine tuning in the universe
A solution to the hard problem of consciousness.
Essentially this Also,
>inherent meaning
No

>>science can't accept someone else got something right first
Well nobody of those religious folks "got it right".
>>decide to rename/rebrand it so science takes credit
It's not for "taking credit" but a necessity for proper, serious thought.

We need to know what we're talking about; we need to create shared definitions of what we're thinking about.

>rick and morty

people nowadays seem pretty level-headed about the science vs. relgion debate, the current topic to rage about is race relations

>believe in science

That's for people who watch Bill Nye on Youtube. Scientists do stuff. We study and examine, predict and propose, assess and potentially reformulate the original idea.

There is no belief involved in this at all.

God cant be studied scientifically because there is no evidence that god exists.

this topic belongs on /pol or /x

This. It's hard to refute what does not exist.

Pi doesn't contain every sequence of integers

By avoiding cognitive dissonance.

Believing in science leads to believing in lies like evolution, it is the devils creation.

Easy. Just keep God out of science's reach.

Easy. God created the universe and set in place laws to govern it. Then he walked away and let shit go down for a bit.

easy they exist in completely different domains

The first gulp from the glass of science will make you an atheist. But, at the bottom of the cup, God is waiting for you.

I never understood why people take science as proof there is no god. If anything it just proves that atheists use science as a religion. They could be handed evidence that everything we know was created by a designer from a higher dimension and they'd jump through every logical hoop they could to avoid calling it god.

Your concept of value is fundamentally flawed. There is no inherent "value" nor is "value" derived from anything.

Easily. It doesn't matter how scientifically literate you are, people who are secure in their own intelligence are generally more willing to accept the irrational side of the human experience. We are all going to die, therefore people believe weird and wacky ideas. Cognitive dissonance is the most relatable thing in the fucking world and only fedora wearing brainlets are dumb enough to think this has anything to do with intelligence.

>those mental gymnastics and buzzwords

Good god you are retarded

>Who made
Noone knows. Wow that was a hard.
And if there was nothing to begin with (no "physical and mathematical laws")
what stopped something from just appearing?

science: your feels are not reasonable evidence
religion: your feels are totally reasonable evidence

this a lot tbqh

I too am smart enough to not have any deep seeded irrational beliefs.

>it just proves that atheists use science as a religion

If a person decides not to believe in monsters under the bed then they are doing what Atheists do when they reject belief in gods. And that has nothing to do with science (a systematic and dependable way to determine what can and can not be shown to be true).

>If a person decides not to believe in monsters under the bed
Just look under the bed.

>rejecting the belief in a God
Not the same thing

>mutation and replication of DNA is responsible for evolution and divergence of species
>DNA has next to no chance of coming into existence without action by an enzyme as it is incredibly complex
>an enzyme is also an incredible complex molecule and cannot be created by random chance, only through coding by a gene
>therefore, an external being (maybe a god, maybe ayylmaos, maybe Elon Musk simulation) had to have created it in the first place

That's my take on it, and why I still have religious faith despite studying in a scientific background

>Not the same thing
It's entirely the same thing. When people decided not to believe in God, they looked at all the places that accounts indicate should contain traces or other evidence of God, just like you look under the bed for the monster. We checked a gazillion such indicated places and found zero traces. That is what experimental disproof looks like.

>Noone knows
No shit. The fact that we don't know allows you to imagine all of the possibilities of why it is i.e a God

>they looked at all the places that accounts indicate should contain traces or other evidence of God
I'm not talking about God from religious text. I'm merely talking about the existence of a God, whatever that is. The universe is essentially beyond the limits of human comprehension. Outright denying the existence of any God as an atheist is no different than claiming there is one with certainty

so do you believe in literally everything that can be possible? does your cosmology include belief in everything until it has been proven not to exist?

And if not they why do you cherry pick some un-provable/not-proven things to believe in and not others?

do you believe that there is a race of pink unicorn gods that exist in a different dimension and never interact with our universe? Because if you don't believe in the pink unicorn gods then you're cherry picking one unproven/unprovable thing to believe in over others for literally no logical reason.

Nice strawman. A nice Donald pic, too. Back to /pol/

Yes, the hermeticists call it "The Law" or "The All", and they don't need to pretend it is a sentient being or anything like that, it just is; without end and without beginning. Christianity is a dumbed down version of Hermeticism; it's babies first spiritual venture.

It's irrelevant either way if you want to make predictions about the world we live in.

Charles Darwin considered it absurd to doubt that a man might be an ardent theist and an evolutionist

Be Jordan Peterson.

>If a person decides not to believe in monsters under the bed
yeah this can't be done

>Outright denying
God is a purely abstract human concept, backed by no real world evidence whatsoever, and can thus be discarded as nonsensical. For somebody to deny it scientifically, it would first have to have a basis in reality. Agnostic atheism and theological noncognitivism are the only objectively viable position on this matter.

...

>need for a prime cause
Why is there a need for this?

>appearance of order
Why does this necessitate a god?

>fine tuning
Anthropic principle

>solution to the hard problem of consciousness
>I don't understand this thing, so I'm going to make up another thing I don't understand and that means I've solved my problems

You don't know what a strawman is.

>he doesn't know RNA has catalytic and coding properties
Laffin at u rn

No u

Show me evidence some form of god does not exist. The theory is as poorly disproved as it is proven. God exists, because our universe can't simply pop up and spawn, something made it happen.

Look guy if you're going to go around demanding that everyone prove everything they say then you should refrain from talking so much unprovable shit. The universe didn't need to be intentionally created for it to have been caused by something. You need to demonstrate your claim that god is the only good explanation for the universe otherwise you look like a big dummy.
