noodle, thanks for that.. i think you need to go finish your paper now...
stop procrastinating dammit!
biznatch and Lucifer, ok lets say that someone follows Religion ABC.
In some cases you use science to prove a theory. In other cases there are theories that cannot be explained, and you use rationale, reason and your own judgement to justify the concept and its position within your faith.
where does it stop? what stopped Heavens Gate cult from drumming up an aplocolypse and justifying it through an end of the world scenario? where does the line get drawn? if a concept is not in line with science, is faith enough?
i know there are some things in the islamic faith that i cannot explain and must take on faith. it doesnt absolve my faith in the concept though. This concept includes the belief that Jesus was born of a virgin. The islamic belief that god is able to create all things just by willing it is essential to the abrahamic faiths. if science can not be reconciled with religion on this topic, who is to say that some day something may be discovered in the same way that sheep clones would never have been envisaged 50 years ago.
