Science and Religion

A detailed Summary of Science and Religion


Did a Biblically Inspired Mentality Play a Role in the Development of Modern Science?

Before this question can be addressed, you must first define what modern science consists of. I see modern science as the past one hundred years of electrical, mechanical, physical, and galactic discovery. Modern science is exemplified through recent knowledge, and understanding of human healing. From evolution on earth to biological organisms found on mars you will also see the unrestrained results of modern science.

Modern science has separated it's self from the restrictive and faith based religious community. Modern science can't be logically linked to some form of religious influenced methodology. This is because Modern science has developed it's own method of thinking. This scientific method is a factual and strictly guided methodology where there is no room for faith in an unknown entity.

Early scientists were bound by a religious method of reasoning which crippled them in explanation and presentati


on of their discoveries and inventions. They had to somehow present their ideas to a public who wouldn't accept them without some divine intervention making them possible. Through reinterpretation of biblical sources, they could justify and qualify their work.

The 20th century became host to mass production techniques, computers, world wide rapid transportation, and the exploration of our universe (which had always been though to be the heavens). Through the use and understanding of these technologies, mankind has become more dependant upon it's self than at any other point in history. When the crops don't produce as well, we fertilize. When we are sick, we go to a doctor and get fixed, and when we need help, we are only a phone call away from someone who can provide that help. This new faith in our own technology has smothered the religious influence that at one time justified scientific development.
