This is a discussion guys. No flaming or stuff like that.

I think it isn't a religion. A religion has a god or a creator of some sort. Science has nothing but facts or theories.

Well, I don't think it is a religion, but there are religions without a God creator- Buddhism for example. [img]smile.gif[/img]

How can science be a religion? Unless you worship chemicals,ideas,and other sciency stuff like that it can't be a religion.Plainly,my science teacher ruined my science liking and I don't want to be a scientest anymore.It's was all my science teacher,my farting science teacher.Now I have no idea what I want to be.

heh! Well, Scientologists were something else. But no, I don't think they're the same. One relies on logic the other Faith

Just for the sake of argument...

But you could say that someone has their beliefs about something such as the laws of gravity. Now how different is that from believing that there is a god that created the world and the universe?

[/QUOTE]What proof do you have of Gravity? It might be something else that just fits with the observations we have made so far [img]tongue.gif[/img] We could suddenly see something that would NOT fit with Gravity, making it an unproven fact. But we have faith in and believe that there is no such thing.

Faith and belief are not things of science, but of religion [img]tongue.gif[/img]
