Science 'versus' God?

[r.p.bibra]

(Food for Thought)
"Man is a part of the human community. Mankind is a part of nature. Nature is a limb of God. Man has not recognised these inter-relationships. Today men are forgetting their obligations. The Cosmos is an integral organism of interrelated parts. When each one performs his duty, the benefits are available to all. Man is entitled only to perform his duties and not to the fruits thereof. Man is a kind of stage-director of what goes on in Nature. But forgetting his responsibilities, man fights for rights. It is foolish to fight for rights without discharging one's duties. All the chaos and conflicts in the world are due to men forgetting their duties. If everyone discharge their duties diligently, the world will be peaceful and prosperous". (not by ls.Borrowed)

I don't think God needs defending Dipayankar. Rather man needs the defense.

Science and Religion Question

Out of humanities infancy or beginnings, born in nature and out of experience, came the thoughts and ideas, faiths and theories of religion and science. It is as it was, the simple process of answering the unanswerable, or knowing the unknown. Much of the solutions we have found have been created only by our imaginations. Although untrue in many cases, science and religion has helped to calm our fears of the unknown darkness. Today we find ourselves in terrible trouble, much of it stemming from our earlier untrue thoughts, from theories and faiths. Man builds castles of theories and faiths on foundations of the same. Should we start over and rebuild on truth? Can we do that? Is science and religion good for mankind or more importantly, good for this planet Earth? Religion has been a great service to humanity. It has the power to unite, calm fears, and even helps feed the hungry; these are but a few examples. On the other hand, religion has been the source of great and monstrous human suffering, division, inhumanity, war, death and destruction. The same can be said unfortunately for science. While science has done wonders to extend human life, it has created the tools to destroy everything, not only mankind but the entire planet. Ironically, science has invented the tools of religious wars, science and religion unified.

Can anyone correctly judge that either science or religion is better than the other? Is either of them truly good or right for humanity? Perhaps if I simplify the question metaphorically it might help. Simply asked: if a mass murderer spends his weekends helping to feed the poor, is he still good or right? And what should we have to do with him?
What should we have to do with science and religion?
That is the question.

The "faith" of lay religious simplicity, crucifies complex scientific understanding... This has been know by philosophers, for centuries. Kierkegaard stated it as; "Faith's crucifixation of understanding."

Is it equally: "theories division of one?"
