Religion staes what it knows as the truth and sifts facts to confirm its position (discarding contradictory evidence). Science observes the real world and attempts to find the explanation by testing theories that eventually may explain the observations - there are no right or wrong choices on data validity.

It's all opinion. I personally disagree with the argument. I think science and religion actually fit very well together like puzzle pieces, actually. In any religion.

When did Albert Einstein say 'science without religion is lame religion without science is blind?

Albert Einstein, "Science, Philosophy and Religion: a Symposium", 1941US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)


What did Einstein mean by science without religion is lame religion without science is blind?

well, why don't you take a minute and think about it. Science is constantly proving religion wrong and it gives science an underlying purpose to keep moving forward with its work in every category while religion is constantly revising its interpretations of an apparently flawless book. While at the same time religion needs science because it does actually explain how some of the "miracles" could have occured if the people in the stories were the thinking kind of people who could predict wind patterns and sun locations. In short, they need each other I have a slightly different take on this subject. With regards to the first half of the statement, "science without religion is lame", I equate the statement to mean that science would be uninspiring and dull without religion. I infer this interpretation because of another of his quotes, "We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality." The second part of of the statement, "religion without science is blind", may be paraphrased as theories or attitudes held by people or organizations can go off in the wrong direction if not subjected to a structured and systematic study. Just my 2 cents.
