Default Standards Of Truth: Science v. Religion?

Are there different standards of truth used in science and religion? If so, what are they and which is superior?

If not, what is the standard for both science and religion?

Standards for science are higher. Religion is based on non-provable "faith" led theories. It is what is "felt" or possibly read in a book. There is no basis for "truth" for religion except personal feelings and interpretations of internal and external factors. Whereas science must be proven through repeatable tests and experiments. The standards are higher for "proof" and therefore "truth".

Are people on this site simply non-religious or what! The bible is the truth. Its accuracy is perfect. It has scriptures in their which if scientists would yield to, could be used for greater good!
Psalm 104:
'15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.'
How long did it take for people to understand this! Lets admit it science has ruined our earth. one may say we have gained great things through science but look at the state of this earth now. Its nearly ruined! Why onn earth do you think Yahweh placed man in a garden not a factory and left Asdam to look after the garden!
I may be wrong on this bit but it genesis 4 it says
'7 Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech. '

Wasn't it Cain and his descendents who began creating these big cities? Wasn't Seth was it! Thats something to think about!
]
Science is non-comparible to religion. Its questions like these that get me angry. Any religious person should understand this. Can science save this planet i don't think so. Can science bring back the dead long past, i don't think so. Can science teach us to live the kingdom way of life, certainly not!

The bible is the truth.

Why do Priests convert then? Example:
Martin john Mwaipopo Former Lutheran Archbishop
Anselm Tormeeda 14th century CE Majorcan priest and scholar. From his book 'The Gift to the Intelligent for Refuting the Arguments of the Christians'
Abdullah al faruq Formerly Kenneth L. Jenkins, minister and elder of the Pentecostal Church
Khadija (sue) Watson Former pastor, missionary, professor. Master's degree in Divinity
And the list is long.

Welcome to RF, Young Obadiah! I think you will find a wide diversity of opinion on this site. Do you find value in that?

What is lacking is sufficient evidence, not proof. Arguments such as:
The Etiological Argument
The Cosmological Argument
The Teleological Argument
Argument from Design
Argument from Adaptation
The Ontological Argument
The Axiological Argument
The Moral Argument
And others. Some are stronger then others depending on who you ask.

Victor,

If one were approaching these arguments without pre-supposing god, how serendipitously would he appear within them?
