    The hope that science will be able to explain everything in the future is an illusion. A lesson that believers will never accept.

    Science offers a very clear explanation of the how of things work. Religion offers a philosophical explanation of the why of things. Science is rooted within in theory, experimentation and verification of ideas. Religion is rooted in history, cultural tradition and hoped for truths. Religion must conform to science and not the other way around. I don’t think personally, that that invalidates religion but offers an opportunity to focus, sharpen and better define religious tradition and dogma. In both cases, facts ultimately run out of runway and speculation takes over. Our ability understand our reality and existence has a limit. I’m as annoyed at the disrespectful, disdainful scientists as I am at the Bible-thumping religious weirdo’s who offer up a twilight zone version of reality and social order. Usually with them at the top. The prevalence these days of quasi religion- based groups, that rule with an iron-fist around the world, proves the danger that ignorance and unrestrained religious dogma presents.

      Science doesn’t explain how? That’s all it does. As well as how things interrelate. Why is there something rather than nothing? Science will never be able to explain that. Is there an infinite series of realities stretching infinitely into the past? Or into the future? Science will never answer that. The stumbling block lays in the word infinite. Theology in its purest form, offers potential answers that even though they have to ultimately accepted by personal choice have proven to be of value to humanity over the millennia. Otherwise religion wouldn’t exist despite every attempt to stamp it out. It seems to be a fundamental need and aspect of the human mind.

    Science as differentiated from discovery is a predictive field of study. Does that, necessarily, make it mathematical?
    Now ask if math developed in humans before language? Usually I would assert that math was a subset of language, but can a case be made for the opposite: is language a subset of math?
    Religion seems to be a narrative that is also predictive. A story is told about perfection, a fall, and a return to perfection, even conquering death itself.
    The narrative prediction is a belief dependent on human and supernatural design. The mathematical equations of predictive power are based on observations of Nature and a design constructed from the prowess of the human mind to categorize and judge, rationally.
    Is religion therefore non-rational? Is mathematics totally rational?
    Where religion considers rationalism contingent; science makes rationalism central. That is a difference, I think.

      @kallianpublico7517 An attractive idea that is EASY to agree with , friend.. I suspect that Neanderthals had an effective, if not rudimentary, form of verbal ommunication . BUT FIRST came a simple observation of mathmatical reasoning , No? To overly simplify the idea, (X) amount of food would feed those in the tribe, therfore (X) amount would be needed on a hunt which might inspire more effort IF necessary... One opinion that might be incorrect..

    Science has no properties. Science is the diverse methodologies for understanding nature(s). Theology is the study of nature, so inferring a better understanding of God aka the Primordial Cause, the Cause of all causes.
    Scriptures that religions try to utilize are based on science and metaphysics, but such scriptures are profound that interpretation is very difficult, and people end up having contrary beliefs about the interpretations of the scriptures. Religion, too, is like a crutch, for people need something to believe in, as in hope, because life is difficult with the many trials and setbacks. It's not religions fault, but the fallen state of man's mind. Religion can be used as a tool or a weapon, just like science.

    4:26 ... but from the theological point view it's not symmetrical because the problem sometime it looks like a symmetrical argument but scientists would say I think justifiably so that it is not symmetrical that scientce does not have to consider theology but theology has to consider science so how then do you as a theologian protect the rational Integrity of your discipline theology from the methodology of science 4:52 J.v H: yead that's a really good question and that's an important question. ... the second thing that I think that is tremendously important is you are right they are asymmetrical but I don't think it's a hierarchy in the sense that science dominates certain methodologies I think it is clearly true that science has a very impressive history of and that the empirical nature of science gives it a standing and the spin-off through technology that has changed our lives and our worlds what I think a theologian should be doing in he interdisciplinary conversation is 5:52 to show that the disciplines that we are practicing here are philosophically sound are open for scientific for scientific input yes in a generic sense science may not care about theology but there are always scientists who are interested if the theology is good to have this conversation and say why are people doing this in a systematic sense and why are they thinking about issues of the meaning of life and faith and of evil in a way that 6:19 might complement the empirical approach of science some may and some might not like it but I do think theologians have a use epistemic obligation if I can put it like that to show that in thinking about this domain of religion through theological disciplines we have a huge task in trying to foster this interdisciplinary conversation. 【Don't expect too much as a parent (theology) who love their children (sciences) for frequent communication when they are busy in schools and professional fields.】6:47 so you're protecting the integrity of your discipline theology by circumscribing certain kinds of issues that science is unable to deal with 7:00 J.v.H Yes. but also internally refining the methodology and the conceptuality 【Example, in The Theology Of Truly Right Interpretation, we've logically expanded realms, from our world the 4-dimensional through through the 6°∩0° spacetime, and spiritual mechanism and resolution are conceptulized for believers to understand Word of LORD God】of what it is we are talking about. 7:07

    If several diciplines ask the same question, it does not mean they are aligned. It depends on how they arrive at the answer. I am amused by the sudden "can we all get along" attitude of some religions and theologians. They seem to have forgotten what they did to Galileo and Geordano Bruno. And declare some as militant atheist at the drop of the har for simply asking questions. It is likely that they will revert to the oppressive attitude if they get a chance or at minimum undermine science. We are seeing that undermining already at the highest levels.

If a creator god made everything in accordance with THEIR desires, then most mainline scientific theories of our species would be falsified. Yes? Like naturalism, evolutionary pressures, and even QM/QFT would be falsified.. How AND why would an omnipotent creator god create a universe that even HE could not effectively predict?

    We can accept the theological explanation and apology for an earthquake, asking ourselves, "Why did God want this to happen," or turn to science for evidence of tectonic shifts.

      Well, that's just simply not true. Science today has a dogma in: "What's real is only that which i can measure, control, manipulate and exploit. Whatever there is that I can not control is simply nonsense. " Modern science is the religion of atomism, and I just shared their dogma with you.
      There's no God to them because they can't bring it into the lab and test on it. Nor can they test the intellect or the laws of nature.
      Science is a methodology. It doesn't make claims or have beliefs. The many scientists out there have different perspectives. Not all of them are atomists.
