I doubt there's anything science will 'always believe' ... except, perhaps, in reevaluating it's beliefs.

True science cannot be based on belief ... theory yes, but not belief. Theories can be either proven or disproven; try that with beliefs and see how far you get

Though one of the Big Bang theory promoters was a Catholic priest called Georges Lemaître and Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, was a priest too !

I think that they could work together..
maybe it WAS god who created everything there is...
EXCEPT HE WAS SMART AND DECIDED TO GIVE THE WORLD THE ABILITY TO EVOLVE BY ITSELF so he(truly i dont know...) wouldnt be bored lol
its possible



another weird idea of mine is

If a lot of people and i mean A LOT believe in some entity like a god then it exists.
CALL ME CRAZY..
It is possible though...
Maybe The Christian God and Allah are sitting up there( does it have to be up there??)
and just sipping some tea and eating twinkies.

Why not if God created everything he created science too so why could not the two be compatable.I mean I can see God's hand in nature and science shows ways God makes that work.

Compatable... as exist at the same time, yes
As in comparable, no....the concepts of each are too different.
One describes known existance by a strict set of rules(science), the other explains the untestable with a set of beliefs(faith/religion).

Oh no! Not this old chestnut once more!

In terms of "Science" one can support either a Big Bang Creation or the concept of Creationalism, itself.

Probably, the most significant contemporary position on this is the development of the Anthropic Principle to support either position!

Personally, I believe that firstly, one ought to define the word "Science".

In a pure sense, science is the study of the unknown, rather than the collation of facts.

As one eminent physicist pointed out to me some years ago, "We start with a firm idea of what we hope to prove: we carry out experiments which we hope will prove what we earlier concluded. If our experiments do actually prove what we earlier believed, then we change our findings into a law!"

Thus one might, accurately define science as the art of not knowing!

Headache anyone?
