Re: Science and religion

Quote:
1) Who are we (and what are we worth)?
2) Where did we come from?
3) Why are we here?
4) Where are we going?
Both Christianity and evolution seek to answer these four questions.
These is a terribly misleading oversimplification.
Evolution is an attempt to explain the development and existence of life.
Christianity, religion in general, does not make such a scientific attempt.

Quote:
Believe it or not, if you add one thing about genetics (re-combination) to current scientific knowledge, it would pretty much explain God and answer those questions, if not prove or disprove God's existence.
I don't see how. Using science to investigate God is like using science to investigate the life of character from your favorite novel. Science is a tool that doesn't fit that bolt. And religion is similarly impotent with respect to influencing science.
The only thing science can do for us, from a religious perspective, is to further condemn the silliest of religious beliefs - like duality.
