share your opinion about the importance of Religious and Science.

from my opinion, Science has unlocked many mysterious things. we have developed many postive and negative things by help of science.....the positive thing about science is we have developed many advanced medicines which can cure many diseases, we have developed many advanced technology which is benefit for our treatment like advanced surgery, advanced treatment. we have developed electricity, lights, fridges, car, computer, rockets, satelite which is helpful for to us keep in touch with people in another part of the world.

Negative thing about science...... it has helped us to developed weapon of mass destruction such as nuclear bomb, long range missles, tanks, fighter jets and automobiles,....these things are bad effects to our environment because they spread pollution....nuclear bomb can kill thousands of people in a shockwave....automobiles emit CO2 which is one of the causes of global warming.....people say nuclear electricity is safe...i have researched on it and found out that we make more debris by nuclear electricity which is also bad cause.

Religious teaches moralism, tradition, respect, peace. religious are interesting to other people from different culture and we learn many things through religious.

share your opinions.

Both religions and science are important to us to live our daily lives. But for me, religion is more important, because many great sages and yogic people have proved to survive without medicines, and such. Obviously science is important for people, but religion helps a person get closer to God, and that is more important to me.

In hinduism or 'Sanatana-dharma' as its popularly known now-a-days Religion and science are NOT different!

Epics Ramayana and Mahabharata are not mere religious treatises but full of scientific details, The writers Valmiki and Veda-vyas were geographers and astronomers par excellence, for eg., in Ramayana Valmiki describes how our country India got its shape specially the tapered southern India which was dug up by 60,000 sons of king Sagara also it describes that 'Bay of bengal was not a sea from beginning but was a LAND!!

That river GANGA is MAN-MADE and not natural which is why the term'Bhagiratha prayatna' came into context. Ramayana also gives information of 'Vimanas' which was used by Ravana and its description is given in details.

The phospherous trident at Peru is mentioned in Ramayan to great accuracy.

Mahabharata also tells us about the constellation Ursa major -sapta rishi and Arundhati saying that Arundhati who once followed Vashishtha began to lead him meaning the Arundhati star lead vashishtha -an astronomal phenomena

The drying up of river saraswati is also mentioned.

Rishi Vedvyas mentions nine planets and has composed stotras for them also known were the planets uranus neptune and pluto under the name of 'shwet' shyam and teevra'.

The creation of Kauravas was fully scientific.

Our ancient Rishis just did not chant the names of lord but were great scientists...Rishi agastya pioneered the making of electricity and showed anyone can create electricity domestically(refer 'Agastya samhit)

Rishi Bharadwaj the father of Dronacharya was a pioneer in 'hydraulics'

Dronacharya himself was a great scientist-teacher- to teach archery requires immense knowldge of Physics and Mathematics.

The creation of Bows and arrows and different astras require great knowledge of metallurgy.....the list is very long so therefoore once cannot make a choice between Religion and science since they are not different from each other.

Im quoting something from Chicago Address of Swami Vivekananda. He has superbly described the relationship between science and religion n their importance

"The Vedas teach us that creation is without beginning or end. Science is said to
have proved that the sum total of cosmic energy is always the same. Then, if
there was a time when nothing existed, where was all this manifested energy?
Some say it was in a potential form in God. In that case God is sometimes
potential and sometimes kinetic, which would make Him mutable. Everything
mutable is a compound and everything compound must undergo that change which is
called destruction. So God would die, which is absurd-Therefore, there never was
a time when there was no creation. If I may be allowed to use a simile, creation
and creator are two lines, without beginning and without end, zoning parallel to
each other. God is the ever-active providence, by whose power systems after
systems are being evolved out of chaos, made to run for a time, and again
destroyed. This is what the Brahmin boy repeats every day: 'The sun and the
moon, the Lord created like the suns and the moons of previous cycles.' And this
agrees with modern science. Here I Stand and if I shut my eyes, and try to
conceive my existence, 'I,' 'I,' 'I', what is the idea before me? The idea of a
body. Am I, then, nothing but a combination of material substances? The Vedas
declare, 'No' I am a spirit living in a body: I am not the body. The body will
die, but I shall not die. Here I am in this body; it will fall, bull shall go on
living. I had also a past. The soul was not created, for creation means a
combination, which means a certain future dissolution. If then the soul was
created, it must die. Some are born happy, enjoy perfect health with beautiful
body, mental vigor, and all wants supplied. Others are born miserable; some are
without hands or feet; others again are idiots, and only drag on a wretched
existence. Why, if they are all created, why does a just and merciful God create
one happy and another unhappy, why is He so partial? Nor would it mend matters
in the least to hold that those who are miserable in this life will be happy in
a 'are one. Why should a man be miserable even here in the reign of a just and
merciful God?

.......to gain this infinite universal individuality, this miserable little
prison - individuality must go. Then alone can death cease when I am one with
life, then alone can misery cease when I am one with happiness itself, then
alone can all errors cease when I am one with knowledge itself; and this is the
necessary scientific conclusion- Science has proved to me that physical
individuality is a delusion, that really my body is one little continuously
changing body in an unbroken ocean of matter, and Advaita (unity) is the
necessary conclusion with my other counterpart, Soul.

Science is nothing but the finding of unity. As soon as science would reach perfect unity, it would stop
from further progress, because it would reach the goal. Thus chemistry could not
progress farther when it would discover one element out of which all others
could be made. Physics would stop when it would be able to fulfill its services
in discovering one energy of which all the others are hut manifestations, and
the science of religion become perfect when it would discover Him who is the one
life in a universe of death, Him who is the constant basis of an ever-changing
world, One who is the only Soul of which all souls are but delusive
manifestations. Thus is it, through multiplicity and duality, that the ultimate
unity is reached. Religion can go no farther. This is the goal of all science.
All science is bound to come to this conclusion in the long run. Manifestation,
and not creation, is the word of science today; and the Hindu is only glad that
what he has been cherishing in his bosom for ages is going to be taught in more
forcible language and with further light from the latest conclusions of science. ..............................."

(taken from Chicago Address by Swami Vivekananda-Paper on Hinduism)
