What do they mean by ? Is science the new religion ? What do they mean by that [Spirituality & Religion]

some religious people try to say that science and religion are both belief systems and that there is no difference between believing in religion or believing in science. this is a big misconception of how science works. science is defined by its method of collecting data and its ability to change when new data comes along, its not defined by its content. also, science does not establish what the unalterable truth is, science establishes models and theories that have a degree of applicability and when a new model comes along with a better degree of applicability it replaces the previous one so it is implied that the ultimate truth can never be known since we only have models of what the ultimate truth might be.

It's just another excuse to deny God exists, and is the answer. Science hasn't the ability to save souls, plain and simple.

There's more atheists than ever because of science.... But modern science is actually taking us back to religion.... Many scientists believe in God. We are finding out that there is more than seeing is believing

All science is based on what is observable and measurable. Science is never a religion, it's totally "faith" based and requires fear to keep the sheeple in tow.

They probably don't mean Christian Science, whose bible is Mary Baker Eddy's book Science and Health, but related somewhat.

I think they were referring to the fact that some people but blind faith in the accuracy of certain scientific institutions. Believing in the correctness of what is told to them without question. That sort of thing.

A dumbass might say that. Science isn't a religion. It's a discipline.
