Is science a more reliable source to know about the world than religion and

[xmonkeyfunky89x]

philosophy? I have a philosophy paper due this week as my final. I kind of know what my opinion is but I wanted to know what the people thought. I kind of would like to have a mixture of opinions. Please and thank you!

Science will tell you how things work from the universe to the diversity of life to a microchip. But science will not tell you about the world of political and religious conflict or how religion has influenced history. So you need to understand both.

Sure, when you get down to it science is the seach for truth. Religion is is about faith, which is about believeing in somthing that has no truth

Everything is more reliable than religion. Any religion is more reliable than Christianity/Islam.

Without Religion, Philosophy and Science did not exist. Philosophy and Science base their theories on Religion.

Science deals with what is empirically measurable. Religion and philosophy are called "metaphysics," Latin for 'beyond physicality.' It deals with realities that often defy being contained and measured.

You need both to have a balanced view of the world.

Religion is an abstract belief, you believe without materialistic proofs or evidences. Science and technology after it are discovering and showing us the proofs and evidences that this universe has a creator; and He is Superior to anything we imagine. so these proofs are the manifestations of HIS omnipotence and and omniscience.
Thank you.

In science, you at least know you aren't fooling yourself. If you are measuring something, and some other person is also, and you get the same number, then it has to actually be there.
So yeah I would say its more reliable.

[Atarah]

Definitely not. Faith without science remains blind and does not bear fruit, but science without faith is crippled and cannot advance.

Besides, science cannot in any way explain what compels suffering Christians to forgive and pray for their tormentors. What, may I ask, could possibly be the scientific explanation behind loving your enemies?

We need all three: religion, science, and philosophy. They all provide some of the answers for us. They are all indispensable in my view.
