if yes, then can religion and /sci/ also coexist? I like science,

>I like science and math

Of course but /sci/ and skepticism can never coexist.

>>8809776
Don't be fooled, religion coexisting with anything approaching reason is a religion not taken far and not taken seriously. There is no such thing as a fundie who is right in the head.

Depends on what kind of 'religion' you're talking about.

Religion in general is an almost meaningless term unless you're just talking about the Abrahamic religions. Is it any organized system of belief? Anything that entails the existence of various forms of 'god'? Is a practitioner of the religion required to believe all of it as a literal hypothesis, or as a symbolic framework in which one learns insight and how to be a 'good human'? Look at religions in other parts of the world. Buddhism doesn't necessarily entail any supernatural entities at all (outside of 'folk' buddhism). Is it still a religion? What about Taoism, which doesn't necessarily have a god but has a belief in a soul? If religion doesn't strictly require a 'god', could it be argued that political ideologies are also 'religion'?

get specific. As a hypothesis, Deism is potentially philosophically valid, but doesn't have experimental evidence. Then again, a Deity also can't be experimentally ruled out. Belief in a Deity wouldn't be scientific, but then again, believing that one couldn't exist is also unscientific. Its just entirely outside its realm.

Then, are you going to define religion as a literal belief in a particular myth? Then its absolutely incompatible. Then you have falsifiable statements that can be scientifically evaluated.

Are you going to look at religion as a set of symbols, through which you gain insight? Then you're fine. While you could argue that as a wisdom tradition, it could be described in clearer terms and distilled, if you're not using it to make statements about the observable world, and to instead explore yourself, then it doesn't conflict.

religion is anti-science so no.

It either happened or it didn't. There's nothing for science to say in matter.

sure but science and classical liberalism cannot coexist, for a scientific mindset eschews ideology.
