[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the definition of religion on Merriam-Webster A cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith. I think a lot of atheists use faith to describe what caused the Big Bang by saying something came from nothing. To believe in this something came from nothing you have to belong in the religion of Atheism.[/quote] Math and physics are the opposite of religion and faith. Sorry, OP. [/quote] Definitely not tire. Many good scientists have religious beliefs. Science and religion are not the opposite of each but address different aspects of truth and the knowledge forms are different.[/quote] Science addresses facts. Religion addresses faith and beliefs[/quote] In science there is one correct answer to a question. In Religion there can be many answers, depending on the beliefs of any particular religion. Some religions have similar, but not identical beliefs - e.g., Roman catholicism and Anglicanism.[/quote] This is a very narrow understanding of both science and religion. The most brilliant scientists I know are people of faith. Think Einstein IQs. [/quote] What type of “scientists”? How old are they?
