Separation of church and science

Religion requires faith. Faith requires the absence of doubt. Science requires doubt. Therefore, science requires the absence of faith. Therefore, science requires the absence of religion.

Religion requires faith. Faith requires the absence of doubt. Science requires doubt. Therefore, faith requires the absence of science. Therefore, religion requires the absence of science.

But don't worry, I have faith that there's a logical fallacy in there somewhere.

I have faith you will eventually figure it out, but I doubt it will be logical at 3:30 in the morning...

Your problem lies in the definition of faith. Faith is NOT the absence of doubt without evidence. Faith comes from meditating on the truth until doubt is eventually purged. Science also does not require doubt. If science required doubt we could never move on to form solid information and move on to higher levels of science. Science no longer doubts that an apple in one hand plus the apple in the other hand equals two apples. You can divide it and multiply it... but in the end 1+1 has always and will always be 2. Science doesn't require doubt. It requires objectivity and seperation of personal feelings from the examination process. Once a conclusion is solid a scientist can then move on without doubt to the next stage of his science. In fact science is nothing more than the study of what God created. Science without peronal prejudice constantly confirms that the universe is HIGHLY organized and mathmatically impossable to have occured by random chance. So it is science and Truth that always must go hand in hand. Truth goes beyond religion and looks to God himself. It could be stated that Evolutionists who ignore mountains of evidence against thier theory are FAR more religious than a creationist scientist who has chosen no religion. DW
