Uh no. Are you so offended that you need to immediately say that to make yourself feel better?

Science is taking a back seat to stupidity these days - nobody seems to want to actually "learn" anymore.

But in that regard, I guess you could argue that science (technology) is kinda responsible for that.

One is launching us into space, curing diseases, and making life for everyone better.

The other is based on a inane book that is gradually becoming less relevant.

Scientists can be Christians.

What if the cure for cancer was discovered by a scientist who gave God all the glory in its discovery? How would you feel?

Religion hasn't moved society forward in a very long time. Some idiots love to try to use it to move us backwards, though.

Science since it's a fact finding methodology, where as religion is an ideology based on fairytales.

There have been examples in the past where scientists who were religious used their religious beliefs as a sort of motivation for doing their work, or attributed the unknowns they weren't able to capture as evidence of the machinations of a higher power. Like with Issac Newton and his work with gravity

That probably is irrelevant in today's world though so I'm gonna go with science

They're not really comparable, like Christian countries have generally moved forward pretty well, maybe a little resistant to change, but hard to say if that wouldn't have been the case with or without any other religion.

'Science', as an entity, definitely benefits lots of people and definitely isn't resistant to change, although sometimes that goes too far and you get nuclear bombs and internet comment sections.

None of us would probably exist without both of them though.

Are they mutually exclusive?

Are we expected to discount all the scientific and technological advances religious communities have made?

Yes, because religion no longer does that. Even when those advances were being made, they were in the service of supporting the beliefs of a religion. Also, the church was about one of the only establishments with the power, money and intelligence to perform study once upon a time. One has to make compromises of either faith or reason to make the two work.

The state was more important to scientific progress than religion. It's simply the case that church and state were very closely tied to one another during the scientific revolution. It's a bit disingenuous to claim that religion in and of itself was the driving force behind most scientific endeavors of the time.

How do you go to sleep at night being so anal like you are? "Ah-hummmmmmmmmmmmm"ing yourself to sleep?

Or do you count the many sheep in your party as you drift off?
