Something I wrote on FJ a while back, it's relevant so I'm going to paste it here.
"Science doesn't try to disprove God or Religion.
People futilely attempt to do this and use Science as the tool. Then Science ends up getting blamed, when the true culprit is the person. The relationships between War and Religion tend to share a similar problem. "All wars are started be some Religion! They should all be abolished!". This may appear correct at first glance, but it's deeper than that. Ignorance (intolerance, nonacceptance, and many other words fall under this type of "Ignorance") is what actually causes most, if not all, War. To put it simply, "You don't hold my opinion on _______, so I'm going to kill you."
Back to the main point though. Science and Religion are both tools with distinct 'properties' that can be used differently. Science is more concrete, while Religion is more interpretive. This allows for some flexibility, because you can use them together in many different ways. Without making this a 7 page paper, though, I'll just give one example that I believe clears up what I mean.
Love is essentially just a series of Biochemical interactions between two people, with a dash of Psychology/Sociology.
Does knowing that make love any less 'magical' or 'special' though?
One Scientist might say
"Yes, this is how it works and it shows our interactions to be nothing more than complex Chemistry."
The second Scientist might say
"No, understanding how it works doesn't make it any less valid. Our concept of love still exists, but now we know how it works."
Now, which one is correct?
Big finish...
It's ultimately a matter of
opinion."
