Mate materialism is not a religion. It has no god.
A religion must have a god, doesn't it?

Posted: 07 January 2006 science is just another method of examining the world
i think that science is just another method of examining and explaining the world around us. And i truly consider science as just another religion, such as Christianity or Islam.

Posted: 07 January 2006 Science is the bottom up view of the world
Science is the bottom up view of the world, whereas Religion is the top down view.

If truth is the object of both, then their views will not be inconsistent.

Science can never know if it is true, it is arrived at by induction.

Religion claims it is true, its claims can be verified by deduction.

Posted: 07 January 2006 scientific analysis was deductive
I would have thought that scientific analysis was deductive. Science's claims are modest, it would seem, when compared to the promises of religion.

Posted: 07 January 2006 Science is inductive
Science is inductive because it generalizes from partial evidence. Religion assumes its basic premises and uses theology to argue deductively. Science claims that it is self-correcting while religion claims it is infallible from the get-go.

Religion is an opium for the masses, it was invented to keep people in control by ruler class.

Absolute truth is when you don't have the luxury of doubt. Cool

we all say that by the time we get in trouble! Remember the words you say when you're run out of options! You say "God, please help me!" Is that a good argument?

I can't chose an answer in regards to which one is closer to me. I believe one depends on the other. Still, I place religion higher than science.
