well, say, the modern medical reserchs conduct medicines that can cure "depression". you see, the scientists, in this case doctors, believe that depression is something to be cured, and with scientific reserch's help, they can come up with medicine that can magically take away depression from a "patient".
the "patient" comes back to work in a zombie like state due to the repression effect. the chemical drug forcefully replaces a natural process that a person has to go through, which I believe it is in some way religious because of the spiritual transformation.
surely it is using science in a wrong way, nevertheless it is science. I cannot really compare science to religion, because religion is such a broad topic and my knowledge is humble and insufficient, so I can only relate to the limitations of science.
honestly telling you, I dont think science and religion are the same at their cores. one works to advance human understanding, and another humbles us and reminds us our place in the grand theme of God or Goddess.
and Hugh, say, you are a religious scientist, then tell me how you be christian while being a scientist at the same time?
scientific studies require evidence, proof, numbers, an accurate calculation etc. forgive me, but how much does God weigh? is it possible to answer in scientific terms? of course, this question is the manifestion of the intelligence of my intellect-self, and it cannot beat the wit of soul. I am sure you can answer this in a soulful way. then again, it proves that religion is not entirely competible with science.
