Perhaps there can be more groups, where people who blindly believe in faith or people who believe in neither. I think, based on these groups, I would fall in group 3. Science has always been something that fascinated me and I hold it very dear when it comes to reasoning. The Bible is a way of life, but not something I would rely on completely. Same with science as there are many things which are a mystery. The existence of a higher power is what I rely on and for that reason, I can't seem to take one side.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Mar 2021, 19:57As per the author, there are three kinds of humans when it comes to the discussion regarding origin of the solar system and life.When you consider the origin of the universe, the emergence of life on Earth, and the future of humanity, the chances are you do so from one of three perspectives. Perhaps you’re educated in the sciences and are convinced that current scientific theories and data explain our origins and enable us to exercise some control over future events; yet you also have a knowledge of the Bible and its seeming incompatibility with science. Alternatively, you might believe that God created the world and that the scriptures contain all of the answers about our origins and future; at the same time, you understand the basics of the scientific theories and can see their apparent incongruity with some of the teachings of your religion. Then again, you may be familiar with the fundamentals of biblical religions and of science, not feel committed to one or the other perspective, yet be curious about whether their apparently disparate explanations and timelines for our origins and outlook on the future are reconcilable.
1. Those who believe in scientific theories and see the incongruity of the biblical teachings with the scientific evidence.
2. Those who believe in God and the creation, yet with the basic scientific knowledge seeing that what science says does not go along with what bible says.
3. Those who have a fairly good knowledge about science as well as the bible, but not taken any side, yet thinking over whether these two can go hand in hand.
Are these the only groups that we can divide all humans regarding this topic of discussion? In which group are you in (or mostly fit in)? Why do you say so?

I'm definitely in group 3 I think that science and religion don't really contradict each other. The author brings a theory of Earth with history - Earth created with all the fossils and dinosaurs' bones, which I found quite intriguing!Sushan wrote: ↑01 Mar 2021, 19:57As per the author, there are three kinds of humans when it comes to the discussion regarding origin of the solar system and life.When you consider the origin of the universe, the emergence of life on Earth, and the future of humanity, the chances are you do so from one of three perspectives.

I believe in spiritual knowledge and also in scientific research. I completely believe that both of these can go hand in hand. And I am quite confirm about this after reading this book.

I agree and I would consider myself in the fourth group. The religious teachings in ancient times were a way of explaining it to people what science proves later. Such religious books, if we see from a certain perspective, are nothing but documented findings explained philosophically. Although, there are many things that are still not confirmed and we still don't know. We might find out in the coming years.Sam Lauren wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 06:42 I think there's a fourth group: people who are on both sides and believe that there is just more to it than we can possibly know as humans.
