What Do You Believe In God or Science?

Question

Are you a religious person,

if you are religious you believe that God created this world.

Or are you science person,

in which you believe in the "Big Bang Theory" and the theory of evolution.

Which one would you consider yourself?

Answer 1

This isn't an either or question.  God was / is the greatest scientist of all.

By the way how much closer to the big bang can you get than the universe being spoken into existence, something from nothing.

Answer 2

Guess both, as how do you explain what was there before big bang? how was the matter actually formed? Big bang just opens up few more question in science to wonder about...

Answer 3

i believe in God and i have for my whole life.

Answer 4

I believe that religion is there for morals and values.... to make someone feel confortable... i'm not strong on religion ... BUT i do respect all religions and their beliefs.... but i think ...if a religion can make you welcome and make you feel protected and happy...then go for it...but i believe that science have created this world...

Answer 5

You don't 'believe' in science, it isn't about faith or belief.  It's about things you know.  I know science.

God is about belief.  I try not to believe things.  If I don't know, then I don't know, there's no reason to make something up to believe in.

Answer 6

I don't believe in god but you cant really believe in science... now i'm confused.

Answer 7

i believe in God. he created the universe and his prescence is evident. he loves us and  care for all of us. he gives us hope but the "big bang theory" is nothing. and alot of science and history does actually point to God. they have found part of the ark from noah. and they have found the scrolls and other items in the bible. and it is proven that Jesus was an actual man. if u resarch it u will find alot of evidence that God is real.

Answer 8

both. Big bang theory fits with the theory written in the holy book.

And when I look at the sky sometimes i thank god with awe.

Answer 9

What makes you think they are contradictory?

40% of scientists in the US believe in a personal god of some sort.

The Catholic Church accepts the Big Bang model of cosmology (and, incidentally, they also accept evolution) precisely because it allows room for God to have "sparked" the whole thing off.

Check out the "Clergy Letter Project", an open letter, signed by over 11,000 clerics, priests, pastors, ministers, and similar religious leaders, stating that they have no problem with both believing in God and accepting evolution:

However - to answer your question :

I, personally, am a professional scientist and an atheist.

Answer 10

Both, I cannot have one without the other.

Believing in God without knowing, understanding, questionning, contemplating and appreciating his creations is blind followership.

Believing in Science is good enough as long as you are omniscient.

And I emphasize "believing" in science. It is a belief that we have that the universe is completely rational and "mathematical", this is not a fact, just a philosophy (positivism).

Believing in God should not direct your thoughts and research objectives in a laboratory (that is called heuristics). Not believing in God also should not direct out thoughts and research premises otherwise we will still fall into hearistics (some opposed Big Bang theory only because it may have as an implication a strenthening of the "creationism" camp and not for its scientific validity).

Answer 11

I don't believe there a god I believe the Big Bang Theory we all came from germ not a God that just made up by pepole that just B*LLSH**

Answer 12

I am a Christian who is fascinated by science.

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." - Albert Einstein

Answer 13

I believe in a creator and in science.  God created the universe and it is governed by his scientific laws.

Answer 14

God works through nature.  Science is only concerned with proximate causes.  Ultimate cause is God.   Science simply cannot eliminate God as the cause for even the most basic experiments of cause and effect.

Answer 15

I believe in God, but I also believe earthquakes are caused by plate tectonics.

Answer 16

science! to me god does not exist

Answer 17

...both....
