Is the concept of god relevant in our more secular society? Do we need to find a balance between the deity and science?

Belief in a god is a personal decision based on psychological assessments of life and personal circumstances. This belief can offer support and guidance through life. Others look at life more rationally and see the scientific method as more relevant to explaning life and discard the notion of a god.

Yes and No. Yes GOD is relevant and not a concept. IN my neck of the woods, it’s not more secular, but go to a more liberal place and secular rules, so this question should bring out a great variety of viewpoints.No we don’t need to find a balance between GOD and science.

Science in all it’s wonderment at it’s own wisdom, just found out that the appendix actually serves a purpose in digestion and is not just an extra piece that can be thrown away. Amazing after all this modern ability. Science will find the truth later rather than sooner.

You pose your question as though believing in GOD is (a) irrational and (b) a psychological assesment of life. You’re incorrect in both assesments from my perspective. I base my belief in the almighty creator GOD, I AM_____, on undeniable experience.

Why everyone doesn’t have this kind of experience, I’m not sure I can answer, but the bible, GOD’s Word, does point out that 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Concerning Science: 1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness" But there is hope for one day every knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LOR Luke 12:51-53 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.

From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law. " So it appears these divisions we have will not lessen but grow to the crescendo that is the end of times.By the way, what did we think that a society of "My baby Mama" would create?

"Slappin my Ho into the trunk.." Now there's some promising ideals to be passed on to future generations! -------------------- As far as a more balanced and cohesive society goes, do you expect me to violate the integrity of my beliefs in order to "get along" with a society that does not subscribe to my beliefs? Interesting but not new concept.

Maybe we could beat everyone into submission with the ultimate in a society and become a communist nation! We’d share and share alike. You sweep the sidewalks and PamPerdue can be the scientist and you can both get paid the same thing and live in the same type of accomodations.

There’s man’s utopia for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are too many different ideals and egos for society to be united. I personally do not believe in space ships / ET’s.

Yet someone who claims to have EXPERIENCED one, will go to their death exclaiming they’re real, when they can’t provide proof to the rest of us. Is it just psychological? They saw something.

Was it imagined? The brain is a powerful thing. We barely understand it’s abilities.

Many apply this same ideal to the belief in a diety, as I suspect you do. It’s ok. I can understand how you can think this way.

I was a non believer for MOST of my life. Did the ET believer experience something they’re merely calling an ET, because they don’t believe in GOD? Was it GOD they experienced?

I believe GOD comes to us in ways that we’ll understand. But one thing you can be sure of, is that anything and everything to do with GOD and GOD’s Holy Spirit will ALWAYS point to Jesus Christ! HE is the cohesiveness of everything.

When Jesus was asked what are the greatest commandments, he said, "LOVE the Lord your GOD with all your heart, soul and mind. Love your neighbor as yourself." So it’s about Love.

1 John 4:12 No one has ever seen GOD; but if we Love one another, GOD lives in us and his Love is made complete in us. There’s a song, that might hold the answer to your question."What the world needs now is Love, sweet love it’s the only thing that there’s just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love, no not just for some but for everyone. Plant seeds that will help build a better future generation and society!

Galations 6:1-530 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people...

I think the opposite is the case ... Atheism is the personal choice based on irrational emotions and is non-scientific, it is rebellion against your Maker and foolish. Christianity and science go hand in hand. True science is based on order in the universe given by God.

There is no science that backs evolution or other atheistic religions. So to answer your question --- do we need to find a balance between science and a belief in the Deity the answer is no, we don't because the two are perfectly compatible. What we need to do is realize again that they are perfectly compatible and that as Scripture says, "there is a way that seems right to a man but the end there of is the ways of death" Atheism is one of those seemingly right but wrong ways - .

No man can serve two masters. Ultimately, either atheism or belief in God will come to dominate society. I notice here that one of the topics is atheism, and I think that is important.In the minds of many, science has become equated with atheism, in spite of the fact that numerous scientists of the past and present never subscribed to atheism.

Science did not begin in 1859 with the publication of Darwin’s book. But today, due to influential spokesmen like Richard Dawkins, atheistic scientists are trying to claim "Science" as their private property and define it as an alternative worldview to faith in God.In other words, I think you are drawing a false dichotomy between science and belief in God, since many scientists DO believe in God, and many believers value operational science for its outstanding accomplishments and for its commitment to experiment and observation above theory. So if you will allow it, I think the real dichotomy is between faith in God and faith that there is NO God, known as atheism.

These I think are like oil and water and will never mix. One or the other must dominate in any society, set the standards and make the rules. The other may be tolerated, or it may be persecuted, but ONE will ultimately control the major institutions of society.

And of course, there will always be large numbers of people who are not very aware of the larger issues in society that do not directly affect them. I know the questioner is Australian, whereas I am an American. Speaking for America, there was a time (even in my lifetime) when everyone understood that America was a Christian nation, and even our Supreme Court included that statement in one of its rulings in 1892.

Other faiths, including atheism were tolerated, but they did not set the tone of society. Schools taught the Bible and encouraged prayer. Christian churches were understood as an essential part of society.

Public displays celebrating aspects of the Christian faith were common and unremarkable, and considered a sign of social health. What we have seen in the past hundred years, and accelerating since the early 1960's, is what used to be called "creeping socialism". The philosophy of atheism has gradually penetrated American society, beginning with our schools, and has brought about great changes in American life.

Some may see this as a "better balance" between those who believe in God and those who "discard the notion of a god", but I would say that no long term balance can exist. Today we see militant atheists working tirelessly to eradicate any vestige of visible Christianity in our schools, any public display of Christian symbols, and any Christian foundation for our laws and customs. That is what the often remarked "Culture Wars" are all about.

Too many believers in God have hoped to find a balance, thinking that if we just concede this or that point, then peace will be restored. But what we find instead is that each concession is a victory for atheism that only emboldens atheists to demand further concessions. And the more victories atheism achieves, the more hostile and strident its voice becomes.

There are a few officially atheist countries in the world today, most notably Russia and China.In these countries, believers in God, especially Christians, are persecuted mercilessly. The political State totally dominates all aspects of society. Human life is held very cheap, and atheistic communism was responsible for 100 million deaths during the 20th century, and still counting.

Public worship of God is essentially outlawed, except for a few Potemkin village churches used for propaganda purposes. So I believe that is what America and Australia and other once-Christian nations face in their future, maybe not too distant, if we continue to compromise with atheism. Practically speaking, the motto of atheism is,"What's mine, is mine.

What's yours, is negotiable. " This should be obvious to believers in God, for the Bible teaches that all of human history, since the time of Adam and Eve, is one long war of Satan against God and man, made in God's image. Don't be surprised to find yourself on the battlefield.

Only atheists believe there needs to be some compromise on the part of those that believe in God. They hold this position because their belief system specifically forbids any belief in God, so they seek explanations for the unexplainable (witness the Big Bang theory, which directly violates the most fundamental laws of physics), they assert that their explanations are 'truth', then demand that no opposing views should be held by anyone with any scientific position whatsoever. This results in radical injustices, such as the refusal to award the Nobel Prize to Damadian, a Young Earth Creationist, for the invention of the MRI in the Medical field while giving it to someone who made some improvements to it.

This results in people being fired from their jobs because they hold a different view of history, which has nothing to do with here-today science. This results in denial of tenure for those who dare to not teach the atheistic/naturalism line in our educational institutions. From a believers perspective, there is no compromise necessary; TRUE science fits very will with the Christian belief.

God designed our brains, therefore He expects us to use them. Science is the formal system of doing this.
