[QUOTE="Jogindar Singh Kaur, post: 12078, member: 1327"] I like Amarpalji's answer a LOT, too. My 2 cents: I've worked with medicine-related scientists all my life in both clinical and basic research. What is science? The discovery of objective phenomenon which is both logical and confirmable through observation and experimentation that can be repeated. Note that this is OBJECTIVE phenomena, and it is limited by what the information our senses can obtain. We've made spectacular process in extending our senses (ie, telescopes, linear accelerators, electron microscopes, spectrometers, spaceships, etc) and in fact dog scientists WOULD find the same electromagnetic spectrum as we have, only they'd have a rather small band of visible light. There is much to science, but for the most part you have to ask of any discovery: is it objective? Is it empirical? Is the phenomena repeatable? When science makes mistakes, then its assumptions can be changed. Religion OTOH is the SUBJECTIVE relationship between humans and the natural world (some would say that's spirituality, but I think they're splitting hairs). The subjective natural world both the inner and outer parts of the self and the universe. Whether or not you choose to believe in a God (or many gods) as part of that is almost immaterial in this broad sense. However, we do have many religious traditions that spring forth from men and women whose subjective experiences have brought them incredible insight into this relationship between the self and nature. The Gurus are all incredible examples of these kinds of people. I think science only becomes dangerous when it becomes tied to the quick buck. Profit has no morals, and science can far too easily be used (or ignored!) for nefarious purposes. I think relgion becomes dangerous when its followers decide that it is the Pure Truth and shut their minds to any other way of thinking. They can only conclude that people who follow other paths are only worthy of death. Unfortunately, as we have all too often experienced, it is far too easy to convince your followers to close their minds and destroy blindly. This is another reason I chose Sikhism; it is one of the most tolerant religions in the world and comes from a long tradition of truly intelligent and thoughtful mystics and sants. I don't think it is a coincidence that Sikhi is the most scientifically enlightened of all religions; it is a religion that encourages its followers to THINK. I do believe all religions CAN learn tolerance toward one another; after all, there is really only one God. Even Pagans, Wiccans and Hindus say that all gods and goddesses are but aspects of the One Creator. And since God is love, then anyone who embraces their capacity to love all understands spirituality, even if s/he considers themself an athiest, humanist or Buddhist. Science without morality leads to destruction and death. Religion without the intelligence that science exemplifies also leads to destruction and death. And that exactly is how they are related in my wordview. [/QUOTE]
