The similarity of scienctific method and faith

I am making snippets of parallels between the two to ensure people are following us. So they may not need to read the entire thread to get to where we are. But you are right we should focus on both strains independently and see where we get to.

About data gathering:

Religion at least gives us a means of gathering data which is through reflection and pondering, but we need to do so based on things firmly rooted in the ground.

Realising ones need to worship is something explicit to a people who believe in God. I would say that science for that reason is a self-centric order. It teaches that our research and our discovery is how we aught to operate and thus it is one of the orders which stresses the worshipping of man. Perhaps we can temper this conclusion with only those forms of science which have ‘no God’ as their premise.

Sorry been busy these days.

Religion allows us data gathering even through scientific means besides reflection and pondering over Allah SWT creations.

Scientific order has also played a role in detaching people from the worship of God yet not replacing their belief in God though. These people choose to be somewhat agnostic or think that God does not play an active role in our lives yet still exists.

However lets us elaborate on how the phenomena of our existence lends itself to different aspects of data gathering related to the existence of a Creator. This I think is not where religion and science diverge but have been unable to converge.
