Question: Why is religion still here!? Hasn't science explained the things that religion tried to!?
I don't get why people still believe god created us and blah blah!. Religion was just made up becuase things couldn't be explained!. But now we have Science!. And science is true and logical!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Religion still exists and will remain to exist because it serves a necessary function for people!. Many people (possibly most people) need a supreme purpose and meaning in their lives which can only be provided through religion!. These people would likely fall into despair if they ceased to believe in God since their lives would appear meaningless!. Religion is also an excellent outlet for spirituality; although I personally feel no need for spirituality, it is essential for some!.

Christianity specifically provides comfort as well since it tells of an afterlife, objective morality, and punishment for the wicked!. Logic and science can tell us much about the world, but they cannot give a person comfort, purpose, or meaning!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Only philosophy can challenge religion!. But academic philosophy ignores the great questions and only concerns itself with minutae!. We need 'true and logical( and deep)' philosophy to replace religion!. Science can help and inspire, but will always be limitied by its connection with empirical experience and the fact that any particular scientific theory must abstract away other phenomena in order to explain what it intends!.

Science is full of holes!?
How about "The Bible" is full of holes!?


The Bible claims that god was a man in Exodus 3, now how would a man firstly come to exist in the first place with no mother, but also to created another man out of nothing, to create animals and to create sea!?

There is proof of a Jesus, yes it is on the census from that time, but living your life on "the work of god" is merely living your life off a story book where there is no proof anywhere in the bible that god created adam, or eve, or the earth!. Just a story!.

We have faith in Jesus!. Christian 'religion' if you want to call it that (I call it a relationship with Christ) is based on faith,
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed!." John 20:29Www@QuestionHome@Com
