My Intro to Sociological Theory posed a very interesting question a week ago thats been mulling over in my head.

Is Science replacing religion?

Everyone in my class agreed that, "Yes." It was so.

My thoughts were that science isn't so much replacing religion as it is blending into religion, and vise versa. Science and religion feel to be two very interrelated, interonnected approaches. Metaphysics is one example of this connection. If religion is replacing religion, why are there still people fighting against the theory of Evolution? If scientists present an inconvienent or unpleasent truth, people refuse to accept it...especially if it goes against what their religion dictates.

Thoughts anyone? I'd love to hear what you all think.
