I believe, honestly, that Scientists of any kind should NOT believe in religion.

The purpose of science is to learn things, find them out.

And honestly, I think that religion and belief is getting in the way. Scientists should NEVER reject the idea of anything, regardless of how CRAZY it may be. Even if a scientist doesn't think ghosts exist, it should be their job to find out if they DO exist.

It's all too often that we see scientists rejecting completely feasible ideas due to religion or other beliefs, and I honestly despise these "scientists". They aren't scientists at all, really... they're just fools.

discuss.

blah. agreed 100% :<

except like, if their belief leads them into a new actual fact.. but that doesn't happen very often. D:

[mikeytrend]

I agree.
Things that are so-called "moral" and "right"
must be pushed aside for the knowledge of human life.

Buh huh huh. I believe that a scientist can have his or her religion, as long as it does not get in the way of their work. It isn't like the scientist has to be a complete atheist to learn (Afterall, the whole goal of science is to learn, am I right? Buh huh huh!) Maybe it would help if the scientist had some agnostic qualities, though.

The scientist just has to put their work first, and their religion second. For instance, I've seen Christian scientists that study evolution. They don't reject the idea because of their faith at all; they just don't let their religion get in the way, and they keep it to themselves. Buh huh huh, I don't see a problem with that at all. That way, they can be happy, and they don't have to give up their faith or let it get in their way. In all honesty, though, I think there should be a full forum for these types of conversations. Buh huh huh!

I don't think religion should be cast aside to study science. It's entirely possible to believe in evolution, just as long as you believe that the events of relgion caused it. If you read the bible, it completely supports the theory of evolution.

I'm an athiest. I intend to start out as a computer programmer. With a focus of videogames. I want to eventually go into nanotechnology to invent the celluloid robot. That's the name I gave to my idea of an intelligent robot created out of many tiny robots (Like we are made out of cells). I think the best technology is based off of nature. Nature has had billions of years to evolve into what works best. Why don't we take it's ideas?

I'm an athiest because the is currently no evidence at all supporting that God exists. I will not believe in it until you get some damn evidence.

Meself, I think there probably is a God... but the cynical little *crag* in me doubts it.

Anyone read Inherit the Wind?

Let's not go into religious debate here, I don't want flame wars starting up over religion.

The debate here is mixing science with religion.

I still believe it's wrong. As a scientist, you should honestly not be biased in any way, and having no relgion is easily the best way to be unbiased. That's all I have to say, I need not complicate it beyond that.
