Thread: Religous section

hmm a religous section on a science forum.
seems out of place.

surely it's just a debate about who has the better imaginary friend.

discuss whether or not religion has a place in science, my opinion - no.

A debate about wether or not we should have a debate or not?
anyway, I do think we should debate relieon so long as no-one gets offended.
It helps people understand each others veiwpoints, and lets people express their thoughts.

and does religeon have a place in science?
I dont realy know, religeus people tend to get offended when science gets involved in religeon, but are quite happy when it happens the other way round.
but there is a large number of religeous scientists. and peoples veiws are important,
Religeon and science will allways have their arguements.

I agree that religion has nothing to do with science, and that most topics on human belief systems could either be placed in Social / Behavioral Science or History. But that didn't work in practise, the other sections were overwhelmed with religious topics and moving them would always stirr up a lot of debate. So having a separate religion section seems a good way out.

So I'm with you on principle but not in practice :wink: A science forum has no obligation to cover religion specifically, just as it has no obligation to devote a section to astrology. But if religious topics keep popping up everywhere then it's good to have a place for them.
