Science vs Religion which is more correct?

Why doncha put on Blueblocker Sunglasses (that block both the UV, and blue range of the visible spectrum), and then stare directly at the Sun for while?

THEN tell me if you still believe that.

Richard Feynman knew this and looked at the first nuclear weapon test with naked eyes through a car's windshield.

Which religion are we referring to here... I'm assuming the western religions.

Buddhism is referred to as the science of the mind. The Buddha has stated that if science comes out with information that refutes the current teachings of Buddha, then the teachings must be changed. The goal of Buddhism is to reduce human suffering.

Certain other religions make no such mention of science and therefore, to me, are most definitely incorrect. If we cannot trust the logic of our own minds and must rely upon another person's conjecture, then we cannot be trusted to make decisions on what is logical and what is not.

Therefore, the only sound religion is one that identifies science as a valuable tool to the path of understanding the whole of life.

Science provides more answers and solutions to problems than religion does all religions provide area bunch of fairytales and ideas why stealing and killing are wrong backed up by some magical angry skydaddy punishing people for eternity! It shouldn't take some make belive skydaddy that killing and stealing are wrong, just the fact knowing that people who kill and steal are as*holes and worthless pieces of s**t and not to be like them!

I'm not sure what the differences are between acupuncture and 'dry needling,' but I'm impressed with the latter. As a skeptic, I finally tried it when I needed some physiotherapy. Physiotherapists here can be trained in dry needle techniques. I asked the physio how they worked.

When you insert anything into the body, the body sends blood to that area and tries to eject the foreign matter. The extra blood flow helps release knotted muscles. I had never known this simple and logical explanation.

And for me the treatment worked like nothing else had before. I am given to understand that 'dry needling,' at least, has had several studies done which give it reasonable if cautious efficacy.

Aspe I have to disagree recent studies have highlighted that it is better than pacebo for pain relief, there is debate but as this article shows meta anaylysis of the many studies does back this up

On a purely anecdotal note my partner who has MS finds acupuncture to be of some help for her pain management.

Why are you idiots arguing about this?

Science saves lives;
Religion changes lives

Its a win win situation!

Do you really think
GOD is on either side of the debate team?

Oops



Agreed.



I presume you mean for the better. This is not always the case.



How?



Which god?

I mean that affectionately and without malice, as the biggest idiot on WP, I feel I have some authority in this area! (Forgot to put the smiley in. Doh!)



Agreed.



I presume you mean for the better. This is not always the case.



How?

Science tells us we're alone, Religion tells us we're not.





All of them!

I've not seen anyone make that claim using science. What do you mean by "alone"? Religion teaches us plenty about human beings, and little else.



Colour me disappointed.

Why?

Because reasons!

Science holds the answers because they seek them out religions just create fairytails and scare tactics to keep people in fear!

Reason is the opposite of faith

Dont't cha know?

So is polygamy. Reason must be immoral.
