An ongoing question throughout the world. Religion is based on authority, its the bonding of scripture and trying to build on scientific to create superficial beliefs. 92% of Americans answered, 'yes' when they where asked if they believed in God, but 47% of American's responded, that they didn't believe in the creation of the first 7 days. Though many religious people have made calculated guesses based on what they've read in the bible, most bow to what science has said based on experiments and precisely calculated guesses:
"It was Catholic Bishop James Ussher who calculated the age of the Earth that is still presented by Young Earth creationists as the true age of the planet. Though the Catholic Church once went after Galileo for claiming that the earth moved, they now accept that the age of the Earth is a matter for astrophysicists and geologists, not theologians."
Churches used to split weather blessing bread would actually turn the bread into human flesh, and wine into actual blood, or weather Jesus would save them in the apocalypse to come. Though these days are over, many churches still have divided people, though its not obvious, some believed that though, God is real he did not create the earth, perform miracles...etc.
So will science kill religion? Brian Schmied says, "I doubt it Religion is adapting. Most people rely on authority, and not everyone has the time, money, or inclination for the years of study needed to understand how each scientific truth has been determined. They will continue to bow to authority for the sake of having knowledge. As long as people submit to authority, they are open to suggestion, which makes them open to religion."
Questions
1. Taking this into consideration and reading this thoroughly, I wonder weather or not he wrote this as a scientist or a religious person?
2. When he says "Religion is adapting." Did he mean that religion was something people pick up quickly or did he mean that people are able to create their own religion based on what they believe.
3. This battle is going to continue, based on this, what will win? Religion or science? Does there have to be an ongoing battle?
