What is the relationship between science and religion?

Well, they are related because science always contradict religion.\n\nIn religion, miracles and unusual things are accepted, but in science, it is always needed to have a reason or understanding of all the events.

Yes, of one sort or another.  Considering that religion is really just a way of explaining the world around us, and considering that some branches of science require just as much faith as some religions, we can assume that (in one form or another) we will always have religion.

As you ask in the science category: No, not in the scientific world.\n\nThere is no scientific theory that needs a god to explain something, and no evidence for the existence of a god is found in any experiment.\n\nI know that there are religious scientists, but they differ between their religion and their work. Religion can't be a part of science, because we have strict rules about scientific work. Experiments must be reproducible and theories have to be falsifiable: Religion doesn't fit both criteria, that's the difference between \ndeductive logic and pure belief whithout asking.\n\nAlthough in America creationists currently have a come back in disguise as pseudo-scientific intelligent design, this is not a scientific theory and just an USA related problem with christian fundamentalism and the education system.

one example would be cloning. It ties in both religiously and scientifically because when it comes to religion, only god can make human beings and when it comes to science, it obviously comes to challenge sciences theory. Another would be the creation of anti-matter. This new "weapon" is the most powerfull substance in the world. Just by reading the name you can sort of guess what this stuff is. It a substance that can wipe out unimaginable amount of matter, pretty much everything in this world. The battle between Science and Religion is amazing dude.

If you mean why many scientists don't have faith in God, I think it's because science generally deals with what can be proven.  Faith in God, is simply that, faith.

Religion and science are not in opposition. They only look at life from different perspectives.

"Religion is commonly defined as a group of beliefs concerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions, and rituals associated with such belief." \n\nScience can be your religion if you want it to be. Not all religions believe in a God, it is more about a life style. Religion is something you hold great truth to. It is the most important thing in your life. It is what you live for. That is the way I understand it anyway.

Science is by nature empirical, if you can't observe or quantify something then it cannot be studied scientifically. For this reason, God cannot be proven scientifically (and technically, science can't disprove God, as you can never prove a negative), as you can't observe Him.\n\nThis is not to say that science and God are mutually exclusive. If God exists, and if His actions were observable then it would be studied scientifically.

it depends on your own metaphysics\n\ngods and devils are on explanation into the unknown.\n\nscience is another\n\nperhaps, today's science will be consider ignorant in the future\n\nperhaps, religion is yesterday's science

This question doesn't make any sense.\n\nFreedom of religion has nothing to do with what we teach in schools in a science class.  Freedom of religion applies to people's personal beliefs, and their ability to worship according to those beliefs.\n\nThis has nothing to do with the subject matter taught in physics or math or biology classes.\n\nEvolution is taught in biology classes because it is the best description of how life changes, and it has 150 years worth of research to back it up.\n\nspiderlover128's claim that "there is little to no real evidence to support evolution" is nonsense.  Genetics, paleontology, biogeography, anatomy -- all solidly support evolution.

It seems to be in remission.  Science and Christianity for example used to be polar opposites, and those who followed science were put to death in some cases.  Then science and christianity became like realitives that didn't speak to each other.  A little bad mouthin around the neighbors, but no big deal.  The science started to win, where christianity had to make excuses for Genesis (oh, what's a day in the life of God?) and such.  Now it seems that christianity is trying to hold its own again and ignore science.

None really - science is a methodology.  The scientists might have faith in all sorts of things -but science itself does not.

Whatever you think about evolution and creation is your own business but to say that evolution is religion is a mistake. Evolution is a science and says nothing about God or salvation; if you think it does, you're mistaken. If evolution is a religion then so is physics and chemistry because evolution is based on the very same principles that tell us everything we know about the physical and chemical world.
