Science does not have a problem with religion. Religion has a problem with science. Religion is about faith and belief, and sometimes science flies in the face of those beliefs. The problem arises when people try to cram their beliefs into the realm of science, where they can't possibly co-exist. A belief is just that. It requires no evidence nor is it supposed to. The whole point is to hold a viewpoint regardless of outside influences.

Science needs facts to back up opinions, religion needs nothing to back up opinions.

Hi YeOldCW....Someone just sent me this. It plays right into our topic of conversation. Thought you might enjoy it too. Certainly gives pause for thought. 'Let me explain the problem science has with religion.' >> The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class >> and then asks one of his new students to stand. >> 'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?' >> 'Yes sir,' the student says. >> 'So you believe in God?' >> 'Absolutely. >> 'Is God good?' >> 'Sure! God's good.' >> 'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?' >> 'Yes' >> 'Are you good or evil?' >> 'The Bible says I'm evil.' >> The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He >> considers for a moment.. 'Here's one for you. >> Let's say there's a sick person over here and you >> can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you >> try?' >> 'Yes sir, I would.' >> 'So you're good...!' >> 'I wouldn't say that.' >> 'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed >> person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God >> doesn't.' >> The student does not answer, so the professor continues. >> 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who >> died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. >> How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that >> one?' >> The student remains silent. >> 'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. >> He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the >> student time to relax. >> 'Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?' >> 'Er..yes,' the student says. >> 'Is Satan good?' >> The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.' >> 'Then where does Satan come from?' >> The student falters. 'From God' >> 'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell >> me, son. Is there evil in this world?' >> 'Yes, sir.' >> 'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make >> everything correct?? >> 'Yes' >> 'So who created evil?' The professor continued, >> 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since >> evil exists, and according to the principle that our works >> define who we are, then God is evil.' >> Again, the student has no answer. 'Is there sickness? >> Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do >> they exist in this world?' >> The student squirms on his feet. 'Yes.' >> 'So who created them?' >> The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats >> his question. 'Who created them?' There is still no >> answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front >> of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. 'Tell >> me,' he continues onto another student. >> 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son? >> The student's voice betrays him and cracks. 'Yes, >> professor, I do.' >> The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five >> senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. >> Have you ever seen Jesus?' >> 'No sir. I've never seen Him.' >> 'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?' >> 'No, sir, I have not.' >> 'Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or >> smelled your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception >> of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?' >> 'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.' >> 'Yet you still believe in him?' >> 'Yes' >> 'According to the rules of empirical, testable, >> demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't >> exist... What do you say to that, son?' >> 'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my >> faith.' >> 'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And >> that is the problem science has with God. There is no >> evidence, only faith..' >> The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a >> question of His own. 'Professor, is there such thing as >> heat?' >> ' Yes.' >> 'And is there such a thing as cold?' >> 'Yes, son, there's cold too..' >> 'No sir, there isn't.' >> The professor turns to face the student, obviously >> interested. >> The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to >> explain. >> 'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, >> mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no >> heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. >> We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, >> but we can't go any further after that. There is no such >> thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than >> the lowest -458 degrees.' >> 'Every body or object is susceptible to study when it >> has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or >> matter have or transmit energy.

Heat we can measure in >> thermal units because heat is energy. >> Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of >> it.' >> Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the >> classroom, sounding like a hammer. >> 'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing >> as darkness?' >> 'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. >> 'What is night if it isn't darkness?' >> 'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not >> something; it is the absence of something. You can have low >> light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if >> you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's >> called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use >> to define the word.' >> 'In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would >> be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?' >> The professor begins to smile at the student in front of >> him. This will be a good semester. 'So what point are >> you making, young man? >> 'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical >> premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must >> also be flawed.' >> The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this >> time. 'Flawed? Can you explain how?' >> 'You are working on the premise of duality,' the >> student explains.. 'You argue that there is life and >> then there's death; a good God and a bad God.

The student remains silent until >> the commotion has subsided. >> 'To continue the point you were making earlier to the >> other student, let me give you an example of what I >> mean.' >> The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in >> the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' >> The class breaks out into laughter. >> 'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the >> professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, >> touched or smelled the professor's brain?

Science is fact based. Religion is faith based.

They are geared towards what they know as fact rather than faith that it is true.

they are both theoretical, but science discovers more factual evidence and proves more theories. religion is 100% faith based business.

Note, I am writing this answer as both a man of science and a man of faith. Science has a problem with religion because God is beyond science's ability to test. God, being and omnipotent and omniscient being is quite capable of manipulating any test that we can come up with so that it will give what ever results He chooses. Therefore, if God wants the tests to give ambiguous results, then they will. So, it is impossible to disprove the existence of God. (Note, science is only in the business of disproving ideas. It can't prove anything (http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/15710)). Thus, because God is beyond science to deal with, many many people choose not to believe in Him.
