Scientific discovery throughout history has started to slowly chip away at society's need for a god to explain where lightning comes from, why there is disease, and so on. Currently, we have enough evidence for the big bang, evolution, and many other mechanisms that brought about our existence to render religion obsolete. Sadly, no matter how much evidence science provides that suggests there is no need for a god, society will still cling to the comfort of a sky buddy.
2. If you truly research the mechanisms of the cosmos and learn more about our natural world you will draw further from believing in a supernatural deity -- assuming you believe in one in the first place. At first, coming from a former christian, you will find ways to place god into science. One might postulate that if evolution and the big bang hold valid, as they do, then god must have been the cause behind the big bang. However, once you truly learn about quantum mechanics, you will dismiss this notion. Eventually, you will find that you do not believe in god. There in lies your answer. Science is about testable observations of the natural world. Religion is nothing of the sort. So no there is no NEED to choose between the two, but I guarantee that the more you learn about science the less you will believe in a god.

Gee, i know that you are an expert in the meaning of the words so please help Little Rik to
know the meaning of the word philosophy and who qualify to be a real philosopher.
And what about the word CANCER.
Would you believe that even most of the doctors do not know the meaning of this word?
Please whatever help Little Rik.
What's really going on is that you're all out of blend with the core of uniqueness. Instead, you should parse out the swallows and deem the narrator lucid. Then the Eurasian feast will make itself plain to your pension cortex. Can't you play the thicket? Find the moon!
Redbeard, I literally spit coffee all over my damn keyboard reading this. You owe me a keyboard.
Sorry let me translate for Little Rik:
Beardness for Red, I swallowed my cup and consciously propelled the blackness in to the void. Since you and I are one, I owe myself.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
