Religion and Science
- Science
- Stephen Hawking
- Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking recently confirmed that he is
an atheist who believes in science rather than God. "Before we
understood science, it was natural to believe that God created the
universe, but now science offers a more convincing explanation,"

- Evolution instead of creationism
- Charles Darwin
- Life developed naturally. We have
physical evidence of this.
- Charles Darwin
- Richard Dawkins
- "Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the
need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite
of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."
- "Religion is capable of driving people to such
dangerous folly that faith seems to me to
qualify as a kind of mental illness."
- "A delusion is something that people believe in
despite a total lack of evidence."
- "The God of the old testament is
arguably the most unpleasant character
in all of fiction: Jealous and proud of it, a
petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak;
a vindicative, bloodthirsty ethnic
cleanser; a mysoganist, homophobic,
racist, infanticidial, genocidal, filicidal,
pestilential, megalomaniacal,
sadomassochistic, capriciously
malevolent bully." The God Delusion
- "Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the
need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite
of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."
- Arguments against religion
- There is no physical proof of any of
the Bible being true. There is no
"legitimate" documented evidence of
any of the acts done in the bible aside
from some of the people in the Bible
existing
- Paradoxical evidence
to disprove God
- Omnipotence
- God has the ability to live for ever. Eternal life.
However, that means that he can not die and he
doesnt have the ability to kill himself
- Can God make a rock that nobody can break. If so then he
cannot break it thus he is not omnipotent. If not then he
cannot do something and thus is not omnipotent.
- God has the ability to live for ever. Eternal life.
However, that means that he can not die and he
doesnt have the ability to kill himself
- Omniscience
- If God knows everything, then he can not forget
because the moment he forgets, he doesn't know
everything. However, if God cant forget, he then doesnt
know how to remember or recollect. If he can't recollect.
then there is something he doesn't know- he doesnt
know how it feels to recollect or remember something.

- Peter Atkins
- Atkins is a well-known atheist. He has written and spoken on issues
of humanism, atheism, and the incompatibility of science and
religion. According to Atkins, whereas religion scorns the power of
human comprehension, science respects it.
- Religion is "a fantasy", and "completely empty of
any explanatory content. It is also evil"

- Religion
- St Thomas Aquinas
- The cosmological argument
- Everything has a cause. There
must have been a first cause,
this cause is God
- Everything has a cause. There
must have been a first cause,
this cause is God
- "To one who has faith, no explanation
is necessary. To one without faith, no
explanation is possible."
- The cosmological argument
- William Paley
- The teleological argument
- The Universe appears to have
been made by design. Design
must have a designer and that
designer is God.
- Can be closely linked to Genesis which shows
God forging the Universe and designing it
- The Universe appears to have
been made by design. Design
must have a designer and that
designer is God.
- The teleological argument
- Genesis
- Shows God creating the World
- Animals such as Humans did not evolve from
other animals, instead we were made by God in
his image and thus have not evolved since
- Shows God creating the World
- Arguments against science
- If “religion” is to be held culpable for the Inquisitions and the
jihads, “science” is certainly no less culpable for the historical
ravages of scientific socialism, the gassings of World War I, the
National Socialist Holocaust, the fire-bombings of Tokyo and
Dresden and the American abortion atrocity, to say nothing of
the possibility of nuclear devastation as well as the inconvenient
perils of global warming.
- Use of genealogy given in the bible
points to creation 6000 years ago, not
millions.
- Bishop Ussher pinpoints Creation at 4004 B.C. Using biblical
chronology, Archbishop James Ussher of Ireland calculates
that the creation of Heaven and Earth took place in 4004 B.C.
Biblical passages provide Ussher with clues to the number of
human generations -- and hence years --since Adam and Eve.
This date of 4004 B.C. is then used for 200 years in English
editions of the Bible.

- Nothing but theories. There is no
definitive way to prove science as we can
never test every single possibility.
- We can only make possible
conclusions rather than
definitive conclusions
- It is impossible to know if all metals have a
melting point as we are still discovering new
minerals such as metal. Religion could argue that
all of our theories can still be disproven however
we are unaware of the evidence at the moment

- Ken Ham
- “The devastating effect that evolutionary
humanism has had on society, and even the
church, makes it clear that everyone—including
Christians—needs to return to the clear teachings
of Scripture and Genesis and acknowledge Christ
as our Creator and Saviour. In fact, Genesis has the
answer to many of the problems facing the
compromising church and questioning world
today.”

- Swinburne
- Scientists can discover, define and
explain laws but they can never
explain the most fundamental laws.

- St Thomas Aquinas
- Both religion and science can co-exist
- Stephen Jay Gould
- Paleontologist
- According to Gould, science and God are inherently
divided and thus can easily co-exist in the human
belief system. Science, he argues, answers questions
of fact, while religion covers questions of morality.

- Scientist who has helped to
develop and design space rockets
- Believes creationism
is the best answer

- John Poklinhorne
- Is the bible taken too literally with Genesis
- Could God have caused the Big Bang and the
next week of Genesis is the story of evolution.
The seven days of Genesis could simply be a
time frame used to make it easy for us to
understand and creation actually took billions
of years.

- An Anglican priest who published five
books on physics and 26 on the relationship
between science and religion
- "Those theologians who are beginning
to take the doctrine of creation very
seriously should pay some attention to
science's story."
- Is the bible taken too literally with Genesis
- "To search for truth but limit the
places you are willing to look is a
very illogical place to start."
- Christianity doesn't disagree
with evolution, it disagrees with
evolution being the start of life.
Darwin and his finched in the
Galapagos are something which
both science and religion can
agree on.
- Keith Ward
- "The real question is not whether religion is
compatible with science, but whether it
tackles questions science ignores"
- "The real question is not whether religion is
