Scientific Versus Religious Faith
The clash in understanding between science and religion has been a long and inconclusive history. The study of the relationship between the two has been studied since Classical antiquity in ancient Greece and Rome.
Although it seems there will never be a widely-accepted conclusive answer, based on logical argument, religious faith is the most conclusive answer humans are currently able to come to.
One of the scientific arguments against religious faith is represented in B.F. Skinner’s experiment about superstition in the pigeon.
The idea behind this in relation to religion is that superstition and in extrapolation, religion, is caused by noncontingent reinforcement or the accidental reinforcement of an action that truly has no relation to the outcome.
