DeSoya, no offense, but did you read my previous posts before posting yourself? If you had you wouldn't have needed to ask those questions, as they're already answered.
Christianity is a relationship.
Theology is a science. (Note the
OLOGY after theo. Theos = God)
The dictionary definition I posted earlier INCLUDES the SCIENCE of THEOLOGY in its definition!
Are you guys reading this?
Before entering a debate we must define our terms.
I'll post the definition for science again for those unable to read page 1.
Quote:
1 : the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding
2 a : a department of systematized knowledge as an object of study {the science of theology} b : something (as a sport or technique) that may be studied or learned like systematized knowledge {have it down to a science}
3 a : knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method b : such knowledge or such a system of knowledge concerned with the physical world and its phenomena : NATURAL SCIENCE
4 : a system or method reconciling practical ends with scientific laws {culinary science}
5 capitalized : CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

I used Geology and Biology as examples of other sciences, not declaring they were the only sciences... sheesh.
As I have said three or four times, Religions involve science. They use science and at times are science, by using the definition of the word used in the English languages.
If you are going to use the word science in another context then please explain what it is.
Science is not limited to evolution theory.
Science is not limited to chemical experiments.
Science is KNOWLEDGE.
As I posted, biology, geology, astronomy, archaeology, all deal with the "what".
Theology, sociology, psychology deal with the "why" and the "who" and the "how".
Goegraphy, astronomy and cartography deal with the "where"
These are examples of course, not finite definitions.
Thankyou
