RELIGION, BELIEFE IN

and SCIENCE

Is there a general purpose of human acts? Is there one common end or objective of human

acts?

One thing is certain. We do not perform an act in order to inflict pain upon ourselves. No one consciously seeks misery or unhappiness

Every human act has happiness for a purpose or objective. All men strive to be happy. The over all purpose of human life is happiness. No matter how diverse human acts are, such as those of lazy person or an ambitious one

We may not agree as to what can make us happy, but collectively, men act for sake of happiness

Peter Hunermann and Nicholas urges that contemporary crisis in thingking about God. He suggests that we seek a becoming modesty in our claims to speak about God or Supreme Being. A modesty based on appreciation of creaturely contingency.

He also write seeks to explore the relationship of spirit and matter as it is uncovered in human conciousness

A live existence comes such as two surfaces of the coin

• In one side we are to be on the best service of the other, at the same time we acknowledge ourselves as being the best for other (this is the basic identity of an alive existence).• The inner most root is we are (all the

living) to participate in an unshared sharer. • In this way each religion realizes itself

rightly

a conception of the ideal, such as the wholeness is to which we aspire in all our actions.

the indicate of positive bearing of belief of God on the realization of this ideal. For not only is an ideal, the ideal itself can not be realized without explicit attention being paid to Him.

since the ideal embraces every dimension of our lives, we shall try to spell out some possible effects or religious belief on.

The Nature of Religion to come to the nature of religion and of the

religious rationality, we come to describe first the two issues: #what religion is about (that is, its

“referent”), and #the source of knowledge (that is data)

through which we obtain that knowledge. That say, while we do obtain religious knowledge through the “lived experiences of human-being,”

the reference of religion is The Principle Being (called God) recognized and experienced by human beings

both personally and communal. • Therefore it is to say first that the nature of

religion is not to describe about the essence of the Principle Being, physically.

• All the statements about the Principle Being come up on the concrete experiences of human beings.

R E L I G I O N or BELIEF IN• RELIGION OR BELIEF IN, it is an experience

of life. • It is a kind of internalization of the realities and

come up then in time form of actualization.

• RELIGION, is a kind of cultural and/or linguistic framework or medium that shapes

the enterity of life and thought (Linbeck, 1968).

• is approach to living that involves beliefs and responsibilities to live and act in particular ways. • is often equated with faith and belief in

a higher power or truth, but it is more properly defined as the pattern of action that expresses that faith, and reinforces.

The world Religions look about keep the

same way to communicate their commitment both vertically and horizontally.

They (modern believers) recognize then the life meaningfully bound by a religious systems such as rules and preaching based on the God’s will.

Religion or belief in is often described

as a communal system for the coherence of belief focusing on a system of thought, unseen being, person, or object, that is considered to

be supernatural, sacred, divine, or of the highest truth.

As moral codes, practices, values, institutions, tradition, rituals, and scriptures are often

traditionally associated with the core belief.as a "way of life" or a life stance.

Religiosity and Moral BehaviorThe development of morality is a process closely

tied to the sociocultural of humanity, however its roots are probably to be found in our very nature. Believe that, morality is a product of sociocultural and humanity, forces acting at an individual level and also at the group level through group selection.

This actually contend that the set of behaviors constitute morality evolved largely because they provided possible survival and/or reproductive benefits.

Many religions provide moral guidelines for their followers. They believe that the divine has instructed them with a way to live, and that following these "rules" will lead to oneness with the divine.

The moral core which is assumed to be innate in each individual, to those who accept that differences between individuals are more important than posited Creators or their rules, and in some religious systems and beliefs assumed to be the basis of all aesthetics and moral choice.

In this respect:morality is not absolute, but relative and

constitutes any set of behaviors that encourage human cooperation

they modified their behaviors, by restraining selfishness in order to make group living worthwhile.

Human morality, though sophisticated and complex relative to other animals, is essentially a natural phenomenon that evolved to restrict excessive individualism and foster human cooperation.

Morality as "a suite of interrelated other-regarding behaviors that cultivate and regulate complex interactions within social groups."

This suite of behaviors includes empathy, reciprocity, altruism, cooperation, and a sense of fairness. In related work, it has been convincingly demonstrated that chimpanzees show empathy for each other in a wide variety of contexts.

Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce (2009), define and argued that morality is a suite of behavioral capacities likely shared by all mammals living in complex social groups. They also possess the ability to engage in deception, and a level of social of our own tendencies for reputation management.

1. A study by Gregory S. Paul published in the Journal of Religion and Society argues for a positive correlation between the degree of religiosity in a society.

2. Meanwhile, other studies seem to show positive links in the relationship between religiosity and moral behavior. “ ‘Religious behaviors and beliefs’ exert a moderate deterrent effect on individuals criminal behavior.

3. Christopher Boehm (1982) has hypothesized that the incremental development of moral complexity was due to the increasing need to avoid disputes and injuries.

4. Other theories are that increasing complexity was simply a correlate of increasing group size and brain size, and in particular the development of abilities.

KohlbergKohlberg questioned a group of man about

what would be a right or wrong action for a man facing a moral dilemma: 1. Should he steal a drug to save his wife; or 2. Refrain from theft even though that would lead to his wife's death?

Kohlberg's concern was not which choice the man made, but the moral reasoning that lay behind their decisions.

Sociologists and anthropologists tend to see religion as an abstract set of ideas, values, or experiences developed as part of a cultural matrix. In an example, in Lindbeck's Nature of Doctrine, defines religion as, "a kind of cultural and/or linguistic framework or medium that shapes the entirety of life and thought… it is similar to an idiom that makes possible the description of realities, the formulation of beliefs, and the experiencing of inner attitudes and feelings.

While theology attempts to understand the intentions of Supernatural force study such as dieties, religious study tries to study human religious behaviour and belief from outside any particular religions viewpoint.

The religious believer almost always professes and lives out his belief as a member of group of fellow believers who worship together and who support each other spiritually, emotionally, and even materially according to need.

Atheisme and Belief Michael Buckly wrote that the question about the

existence of God is so profoudly and pervasively human that it inescapably involves a circle in which all of the human diciplines figure and condition one another.

There is a depth at which human beings confront the great issues of life that lies beneath the formal separation of the sciences from the humanities.

He also wrote that, there are the relationship between belief and unbelief, the connection between religion and science, inter-penetration of theology and spirituality, and the nature and value

Interfaith Cooperationthe religion continues to be recognized as a

universal impulse. religious practicioner have aimed to band together

in interfaith dialogue and cooperation in affirming “universal values” and recognation of the divercity of practices.

the 20th century has been especially fruitful in us of interfaith dialogue as means of solving ethnic, political, or even religious conflict.

Science, Religion, and Future Relationship of religion and science• Religious practitioner gained from religious leaders

sacred texts (scriptures), and/or personal revelation. • Some religions view such knowledge as unlimited in

scope and suitable to answer any question. • others see, religious knowledge as playing a more

restricted role, often as a complement to knowledge gained through physical observation. Some religious people maintain that religious knowledge obtained in this way is absolute and infallible (religious cosmology).

Many scientists have held strong religious

beliefs and have worked to harmonize science and religion. Isaac Newton, for example, believed that gravity caused the planets to revolve about the Sun, and credited God with the design.

In the concluding General Scholium to the Philosophie Naturalis Principia Mathematica, he wrote: "This most beautiful System of the Sun, Planets and Comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being."

There are no laws, plus initial conditions, by which we can predict the new millennium, but there are stories

that will be told. Science deals with causes,

religion deals with meaning, we can be sure that both causes and

meanings will be ingredients perennially interwoven in the fabric of

history.

Do you know

who you are ?

Do you want to know who you are? Recently, research found that every creatures have

the same DNS base alphabet which are A (adenine), C (cytosine), G(guanine), and T (thymine).

In the structure of DNA double helix, Base A pairs with T, and Base C with G. there are 100 trillion cell and in every nucleus there

are 23 pairs of chromosome that are set by 3 billion of the alphabet.

When we stretched the DNA, it will have 600 times longer of the distance between earth and sun.

dramatically, we write the next chapter of the story.

the question is, What kind of the story should be for the future?

everything depends on how we join science and religion in practice.

It is in this sense that the contemporary science-religion points are both a quest for harmony – a quest for integration, for a unified consistent understanding of human

nature in the light of the religiosity.
