== == * Science answers well questions about the functioning of things, about the laws that govern the universe. It however fails to answer philosophical questions of existence, like "what is our purpose in life", "why the laws of universe are the way they are" and so on. This is not due to limitations of science, but because today's scientists have chosen not to answer such questions. Today's science has eliminated "human" from the equation and has chosen to investigate only cold matter. So when the human factors comes into the question, today's scientists are unable to say something. If - as a scientist - you have taken for granted that nothing that cold matter, atoms and electrons exist, then how can you answer the big questions of life? You simply can't. And that is why the scientific community was so much troubled by the findings of quantum physics (where the human-observer actually formulates the physics laws): they were startled to find that "human" exists! So such a question you ask is rather difficult to answer. Religion really tries to answer the big questions of life - not only based on faith but also on common sense. I think both science and religion should be used to reach the truth - they are complementary ways of thinking, not contradictory. == == * Science does come up with many answers, but when all else fails the miracle of faith is beyond explanation! It was once true that scientists relied on facts and not faith and few believed in faith, but, that is changing a little more all the time. == == * Science is open to criticism, which is the opposite of religion. Science begs you to prove it wrong - that's the whole concept - whereas religion condemns you if you try to prove it wrong; It tells you to accept it on faith. I think Science can explain things better because it gets scrutinized by its peers (co-scientist), whereas religion will say, "this is it, period." Science attempts to explain how; religion attempts to explain why. Occasionally the two cross over.

What was mythology used for in ancient Greece?
They are the religion of the ancient Greeks.
What functions can science serve that religion cannot?
Science can tell us how things really happened.
What are good slogan for science?
Better things through science. Better understanding through science. Longer healthier life through science.
What is the realm of science?
Religion , art language , non material things
What is outside the realm of science?
Religion , art language , non material things
What is the role of science in building a better world?
Science makes better production for countries, better war supplies, advances findings of animals, and other things, like why things happen.
What has science and religion done to make the world?
Science and religion are one of the key things that made the world and is continuing to keep the world stable and knowledgeable. If we didn't have these tow things we wouldn't know anything about nature or how the world was created.
The role of science in creating this wonderful World?
Science doesn't create anything. Science is a philosophical base for a methodical thought process employed to explain things, and to defend those explanations. So science doesn't create, rather, science gives us the means to explain, and apply a specific confidence to the explanations. Science is all about uncertainty. Now, of course, based on our understanding of things, and employing the scientific methods, we are able to better understand the mechanics of how things work. Therefore, technology advances, more or less arm-in-arm with science. However, one could be a brilliant technologist, and a lousy scientist, and vice versa.
Was science involved in greek stories?
No. Science came after the Greek myths.The Greeks made up stories to explain why things were the way they were, with little to no knowledge of science.
What was importance of religion for greeks?
The importance of religion to the Greeks was to help explain why things were the way they were. That's why the created the Gods and the God's stories and myths.
How does science change the world?
science helps you to understand the world and the community around you and you can understand things better through science
What was the purpose of greek myths?
It helped the Ancient Greeks explain how and why things happen. For example, when Lightning struck, they knew Zeus was angry (proven wrong now, but that's how they explained it without science). It was also their religion, they prayed to the gods and gave them offerings. It also gave them rules and values to live by. At the time that it flourished it was not mythology it was a religion or a spiritual belief. As with all religions it gave people something to explain things they did not understand, something to blame and something to thank. It was the religion of the ancient Greeks.
