Christianity or scientism? Modern man usually chooses one of us. Especially young people unresponsive attitude to christianity has received the bishops distracting.

church government publishes now the science of gift – Bishops speech science value and role in god’s creation -release. In his speech made a clear distinction between the church of faith and science, between faith. The bishops make a difference also in the prevalent scientific answer to the new point.

the Science of results to explain sensory world of measurable things, but it is unable to respond to, for example, morality and the meanings of the questions. That’s where the scientific task is to explain the world, christianity seeks to save and renew it.

Even if science and faith operate on a different level, they speak of the same reality. Therefore, they should be bishops according to the dialogue. Science as a belief is said to the view that science is able to answer to all our problems. Such science believe may be bishops according to keep more of a philosophical principle.

on the other Hand, the bishops of the defenders of science and the search for truth the human vocation and the scientific community as one of humanity’s most important institutions. Here was born the idea of science as a gift. Without it, no human challenges can be resolved.

the Report acknowledges that christian theology and natural science differences. The potential for tensions to keep the smoothing without identification. They don’t raise it more out, but to correct at the western countries in the 1800s generalised perceptions of religion and science between war mode. The bishops emphasize the dialogue between the two.

God created

the Title text sums up the what separates christianity and science, I believe.

Science is not an answer religion provides the answer to the origin of the world and the essence, if the creation story, the interpretation of natural science as a theory. On the other hand, many of the current christian denominations accept evolutionary theory and cosmology to the latest results, and do not like the Bible was created as a scientific textbook as.

the Modern day christian fundamentalists and part of the nature of science scientists have placed science and faith against each other, although, for example, the university of is born and for a long time developed within the church.

the Bishops summarize christian theology and especially the natural sciences with respect to the four argument:

Christian theology wants to be open to scientific results.Theological defense of scientific independence.Science and technology should serve life and people as well as the creation of the common good.Human wisdom belongs to the science of the borders of recognition. Science does not make religion a substitute.

the Bishops report repair at still history stemming from the false conceptions especially Galileo galilei of , Charles Darwin and Martin Luther .

according to the Report, Galileo galilei (1564-1642) didn’t have the church full judge, when he supported the Copernicus the perception of the Sun circulating the Earth. At that time the prevailing view was the opposite also most scientists.

of Course, a christian scientist settled in the church’s general misunderstanding against the inquisition condemned him in 1633 placed under house arrest to your own villa to the rest of his life. The pope’s opposition to it was considered at that time protestantism to defend.

Until after galileo’s works, and the work received by the pope after the approval.

Naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1882)AP Graphics Bank

the theory of evolution the father of Charles Darwin (1809-1882) to abandon his faith, but according to the report, the reason was more suffering related to the problems that he experienced a 10-year-old daughter died because of. Darwin was, however, discussed joint anglican church with the rest of his life and he is buried in Westminster Abbey church.

Science and faith separate and independent

Dialogue between scientists and theologians between the two is broken, because it is thought in science and theology speak to completely different issues, that dialogue should.

a separate movement began to emphasize the situation, when the science developed and christianity was to save them from criticism.

standalone model I would say the notion that science and theology do not have much in common. Natural science investigates and explains the facts, but religion deals with values, morality and the meaning of life.

the separate models are favored, in particular the liberal protestantismia in favour of theologians, because they wanted to save christianity in the rise of natural science criticism in the late 1800s.

This paragraph can think about how a naturalist doubts the New testament account of the virgin birth and the resurrection. Whether the allegorical interpretation of the only possible? Theology on these matters are, however, more true.

the Bishops, according to the relationship between faith and reason is not the same as theology and science relationship. Reason and faith conflict is often connected to the reformer Martin Luther.

Luther defend Aristotle’s conception of the sort of people the greatest ability in the 1536 Wittenberg university: “common Sense is the sun and the deity, given this life and this world to control things.”

Luther according to reason will, therefore, have a dominant position in the secular life of the region, nor is it close to believe off.

the bishop of the speech is mainly directed at church workers, but is intended to launch interest more widely.

In 2008, published the bishops the gift of Love -to the floor (you move to another service) dealt with family, marriage and sexuality. It received criticism, which is produced pulled Kuopio bishop Jari In Finnish wait now.

– Always when the bishops open their mouths, you might say, that’s the wrong people talking. However, we do not talk to outsiders, because the scientific work is familiar and loved by us all, Jari Jolkkonen said.

the Bishops among the eight doctor, and, for example, the archbishop of Tapio created by dissertation deals with the just religion and science dialogue

Jari Jolkkonen encourage critical debate also christians, so that these would set examination exposed also of their own faith and convictions. Dialogue with the researchers can lead to fine-tuning the traditional world of images.

Kuopio bishop In Finnish is not convinced separate of the stress, but thinks that religion and science speak of the same reality, not different things.
