Best Answer

Most of the time, people are either more trusting to religion or science depending on their upbringing, values, and beliefs as a person. This causes a schism in the world of science, especially when studying evolution or how the world was made.

There are certain places in in the studies of these topics where there is an overlap: Many religious people believe in an all-powerful being which created the world and everything on it. However, scientists use the Big Bang theory and the theories of evolution to explain the exact same concept.

So, to be blunt, the answer is yes. There are certain places where science and religion do contradict. That is why most people believe in science: they want evidence to be able to back up their theories. People who trust religion have less evidence to prove their beliefs.

Why have religious beliefs done more harm than good?

Because, like musical preference, not everyone would agree about just one religion. Lots of people would have many different beliefs that each contradict each other in some way. Other people would take the side of science, others believe in Allah, or Jesus. And there is currently no way of determining which religion is right. In some places there are wars going on about which religion is the true one. Some people of another religion mock some other religions and insult it, or a religion bieng mocked and offended goes to war or starts riots.

Why does WikiAnswers contradict itself?

It's not that WikiAnswers contradicts itself, it's that WikiAnswers' users contradict each other. WikiAnswers is made up of individual contributors (users), and since everyone has their point of view and their way of knowledge and doing things around here, they tend to contradict each other.It's just two different people's ways of doing things, and sometimes they just happen to contradict each other.

Can religion and science work together?

Religion is a very complicated subject, since there are many different religions, and each religion is subject to many different interpretations. Science is much more unified. I would say that there are at least some interpretations of religion which are compatible with science. There are also interpretations of religion which are incompatible with science. The choice is yours.
