Do you believe in god, science or both?

I believe in both God and science and I'm not afraid to admit it.

One of the fundamental laws of science states that it can only measure the natural world.
God is supernatural, for scientists to say He doesn't exist I personally find to be unscientific. They are making a claim that by their own rules they can not prove.

I am a creationist, I don't believe in evolution from the primordial soup, though that said I don't really think it's a big deal one way or the other, whether God created the world through slow evolution or instantaneous thought, personally I find it to be irrelevant either way.

Science all the way. Mankind invented God to explain the unexplainable of the day.

Edit: Sorry for the misinformation. When I said "evolved from apes", I meant our common ancestor.

Science is not a thing, but a tool of physical and theoretical discovery humans have learned based on discovery/experimentation.

That being said, there are times when I can lean both ways. However, I do believe the bible, quran and other written literature on religions are man made, thus cannot be taken as the actual truth (I.E. where in any religious material written before the 18th century are there references to dinosaurs?)

Though part is we cannot fathom the age of the earth and our universe is. 4.5 billion years? Shit, look what has changed in the past 200 years. A lot of movement can happen in 4.5 billion years, but it takes a lot of other outside influences to be here as a species.

- no moon? We would not be here. The moon keeps our tilt stable which gives us our seasons.

- no Jupiter? We would not be here. Jupiter has sucked up or deflected a ton of asteroids and comets that would have a potential of hitting earth.

-sun to big or to small? We would not be here. If our sun was smaller, we would not have enough energy to exist. Bigger and we'd be burning up like Venus.

The list goes on and on.

We are a goldilocks planet and potentially lucky to exist. Are we even alone in this universe? If we can evolve over 4.5 billion years, isn't it possible over the trillions and trillions of stars across the known universe for the same to happen at least once?

Maybe it was another civilization that deposited our ancient ancestors on this planet and knew we would evolve.

Anyways...science is a human term to view our world and the universe, not a term how the universe became to be.

I agree fully with you. But in the end all started with God...

I believe in God, and science, but I dont believe we came from apes.

Science is slowly discovering how god's toolkit works .

I put 'both'. But the question in my view is faulty.

The world can't be created by 'science'. Science can't create, as if 'science' were a kind of super-human sentient being (not even humans can create, by the way - at best, they can engineer, or generate). Nor did 'science' pre-exist the world. Science is an entirely human development. Rather than creating, science chiefly translates what is already there into a form and language that enables human beings to make judgments about it and manipulate it. It is a tool developed by humans for humans. And science cannot 'describe' on its own, again as if science were some kind of living thing. Everything from the equipment used to the design of the test, to the assessment procedures, to the parameters on which the thing is to be judged, to the methods of recording used, and even the forms of evidence and kinds of judgments that are 'acceptable' and which are filtered out as 'irrelevant', is a human fabrication. The only thing that isn't, is the object of study - and when you consider how huge a research project is, the object of study is only a small part of it. All evidence is just a 'nudge' towards a human judgment and it cannot 'tell' anyone anything without judgments being extrapolated from it. Often the things scientists apply their science to are things that they already believe to exist - science usually serves to confirm, develop or overturn things that have already been accepted. Scientists are occasionally surprised by what they find, but it is a very, very long process before they can ever undisputedly say they have 'found' something.

My main point is that neither scientists nor their tool have 'created' anything. At best, they either found it was already there, confirmed or overturned their belief/disbelief in it to a degree of plausibility that they or others found satisfying, or engineered it.

So yes, I believe that God created the world. And hints to human judgments about how he created it can be generated by science.

If you beleive in a Magic fairy man in the clouds who noone has ever seen, touched, heard, ect, who created the laws of physics, the universe, and everything in it in 6 days, then you might be a little psychotic.

God is a big soft inflatable pony with a happy hole it :)

Why is neither not an option? I disagree with every assertion made in this weird question

I am Agnostic, but you seem to be in agreement with Catholic teaching here.

Unlike much of evangelical Protestantism in the U.S., Catholic teaching traditionally has not been at odds with evolution. In 1950, Pope Pius XII proclaimed there was no opposition between evolution and Catholic doctrine. In 1996, Pope John Paul II endorsed Pius' statement. Pope Francis has waded into the controversial debate over the origins of human life, saying the big bang theory did not contradict the role of a divine creator, but even required it. In fact, in 1925 a Catholic priest, Georges Lemaître, made the first preliminary estimate of Hubble's constant that quantifies expansion of the universe.

No worries. You certainly are not the first person attempting to integrate ancient scriptures with observable evolutionary processes.

It believes in Bawth.

Science is useful as to explain for the HOW, but not as to explain for the WHY. And when it comes to people saying that there is no meaning, then how come did we even find out that there was no meaning? Why did we ask it ourselves in the first place?

The evidence of the existence of God is relatively easy. At an early age, it is easy to figure out that there is a design in the things that surround us, and the things that MAKE us, and are inside us. Why is your heart pumping blood? Why are you seeing what's around you? How does your heart know it must pump the blood? In every logical thing in the world, intelligence has to be behind. Every logical thing has to be thought in the first place. And thus, any intelligence reveals an existence.

It is also easy to see, when interacting with other people, that there is clearly a line between right or wrong. And this isn't influenced by society, this is how humans naturally are. There are many studies that were conducted in the tribes and aboriginal groups - thus not influenced by our modern society - that tend to say right and wrong have always been around. Again, how are we aware of this ?

I guess the most difficult thing nowadays for people is to believe that there really is a guy who died and came back from the dead. That is why I am mostly agnostic, and not necessarily calling myself of any religion. You don't have to be a practicing religious person to figure out that there is a design.

However, I can clearly see that there is an agenda at hand nowadays, to destroy Christianity. To destroy family values, to blur the lines between good or bad, right or wrong, the male gender and the female gender. And honestly I can't help myself but thinking, why? Why are they doing this, what's the outcome ? At this point, it can only go downhill from there.

Because at the end of the day, even if you hate God or everything else that comes with it, those values built the world, and the most successful nations nowadays, like the USA, were built on those values, contrary to other nations that are still struggling...

People will often object that God only led to wars, and misery, and that if he existed, your aunt wouldn't be dead, or African children wouldn't starve, and you'd own an XBox, and this, and that.

Wars were made by men, not by God. If I go to a Madonna concert and Madonna is singing a story she heard about killing people, and then I'd go to a killing spree to please her, it would still not be her fault. She would have just DESCRIBED me something she'd heard about, I killed because I wanted to. If you don't want wars, if you want to fix poverty, only men have the power to do that. We had our chance and we blew it. God isn't Santa Claus, that's not how it works. It's not about telling you what you want to hear, it's about telling the Truth.

So, does God exist? I'd say, probably. Probably because, people are putting way too much energy into trying to turn him into a memory and I find that suspicious. Am I going around everyday, parading to convince people that Santa Claus doesn't exist? Why don't people move on?

I think it's also very weird that, although people gave up religion a long time ago, the spirituality industry is EXPLODING. People are taking yoga classes, meditation classes, they create new religions, new gods, new communities. Why would you ever need to do something like this? That is another undeniable evidence that humans were designed for spirituality, and they'd rather believe in Oprah Winfrey, a tree, or ANYTHING, than God. So let's ask ourselves the right questions.

At the end of the day, I can only draw ONE conclusion: EVEN IF HE DOESN'T exist, I'd say it's still much better to be all equal under one imaginary man, than under one tyrannical, data-stealer, perv and corrupted government.

I once read something about humans hatching from eggs made by the apes and chickens, I was laughing my ass off.

the odds of even one enzyme needed for life just forming on its own is greater than all the known molecules in the universe. I believe in math. Math proves a creator. God is Dog in reverse. not really a name to be calling our creator. Luciferians reverse words in spells.

Science. There aren't any god(s).

God and religion were made up by man to explain how the world worked.
If god was so real, then why did the church kill and torture people that didn't believe?
Because god and religion were used as a tool for absolute control.
If people weren't literally forced to believe.
If you want to find corruption fallow the money, and how much money does religion get every year.... billions.
Religion and god are excuses, that our ancestors were forced to believe for control, and people are still being led around by the face because of it.
Religion and god are excuses nothing more.

God cannot exist no matter how many word salads you throw at it.

God was a concept create by man to explain why we are here ect. because they had almost no understanding of how the world worked.

Creation is impossible because nothing is just that nothing, and nothing is, nothing no matter what.
And in order for true creation to happen not even a "creator" can be present, because then who or what created them on into infinity.

Where did the universe come from honestly we don't know.
And the thought of some altimate being speaking everything into existence is laughable.

I believe in both, I believe in God and Science things like Evolution, I also believe in the paranormal.

The was I see it I'm sure we were created but by God? Doubtful. I just believe it is some intelligent life that is just more advanced then we are at the moment.who created them? who knows. But I'm sure we are not far from creating life our selves, we are on the verge of creating really advanced AI and we already know how to clone other people so it's not much of a stretch to think other beings did it all before us. And way did they do it? Well this little excerpt from the movie Prometheus I think sums it up perfectly

Charlie Holloway: What we hoped to achieve was to meet our makers. To get answers. Why they even made us in the first place.

David: Why do you think your people made me?

Charlie Holloway: We made you because we could.

David: Can you imagine how disappointing it would be for you to hear the same thing from your creator?

I believe in both, but not in the same way you do. But it doesn't matter how you believe, as long as you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and savior and love Him with all your heart.

I believe God created light (the big bang).
I believe that through science, God created everything.
I believe that animals evolved into what they are today.
BUT...I don't believe humans evolved.
