how does one connect religion and science?

Is science and religion interrelated?

I believe they are

Science and religion are the foundations of human thought. To connect science and religion one must understand that science is able to prove the existence of God because of the beginning of the universe. The events at the beginning needed to happen in such a particular way that if it didn't the universe would be non-existent.

  Only maniacs like you can do such links- Sceince does not prove god and science does not work with the need of someone putting things in ordem to happen - they work with the contrary, so wake up. Answering: No. They are not linked. They are oposites ways to the see the world, their internal philosophy is different.

  Using Ad Hominem gets you nowhere
  I'm not a maniac as you say. When attacking another's opinion attack that opinion by using supportive evidence don't attack the person. When attacking the person you are using ad hominem which is a bad argument. For you stating that they are opposites that is your opinion. Science and religion can be connected in some ways yes. Most people who are scientists consider science to be a religion. By using the definition of religion as being something that someone believes wholeheartedly in. Although, one can look at what Bertrand Russell said as science and religion not being connected. Russell was able to hypothesize that science and religion are two separate entities as you have stated. You should read his book Religion and Science. Its very good.

  It is needed to be maniacly blind to ignore the last 200 years of our story when Science got apart of religion and the last 100 years when Science discovered the old "cause-consequence" is not quite is relevant as you imply. And they are oposite - Religous is basead on faith - which is beliving without questioning. Science in other hand is basead in the scientific method which first premisse is questioning. It isn ot my opinion. Scientists do not consider science to be a religion because they know the difference. A Scientist do not basis his work in "faith". No game play will change it. They are two different entities - Russell is not missing the point - just pointing the obvious: They function in different ways (doubt and belief); they demand different approaches (reason and faith); they explain two different objects (natural measurable universe and spiritual/cultural universe) and they have a story - because the story of fundaction of moderm science is a slow and progressive rift with religion institutions - that put them apart.

yes, they both help us ;)

Science and religion are interrelated in the sense that they are both there for the betterment of people, to help people...now this does not always mean that they both help people, because let's face it--nuclear bombs that kills millions of people...religious warfare...I don't think such acts really help people, especially not the ones that are dying...:S But then again, people are such that they are able to turn a pencil into a weapon...weird but true. Nonetheless, ultimately, both religion and science were created to help people to suceed in life, and to be better people, physically and spiritually...to be a whole person..
