How does religion approach questions?
Hi everyone I am writing a paper that deals with the similarities and differences of science and religion. One of my differences is how religion and science approach different questions. So far I said that science may use math and other data in order to interpret their findings. I also talked about other methods that science uses when approaching questions. My question is now how religion approach questions. I’m not saying that both science and religion are trying to answer the same types of questions but just the steps of how they would answer a question. For example how would religion decide whether something is right or wrong. I know they use different teachings from scriptures an such but I just need to be more specific. I’m sorry if i presented this in a really confusing way. My head is in a million different directions right now so any help would be much appreciated.
In order to ask a logical question one’s premise must be based upon something. Christianity bases itself upon the bible as it’s foundation. Science uses past findings which are subject to change, depending on who ‘discovered’ what this week. So you see, you cannot ask a question, and receive a true answer based on science, it is too flexible and subject to interpretation.
Oh, I hear screaming of those who say you can make the bible say whatever you want. Well, I tell you the truth, the bible is of no private interpretation. There is but one truth, and it does not change, the problem is those who are not reborn of the spirit (the interpreter) are using these words to twist them to their own gain. That doesn’t make them right, and it doesn’t make them christian just because they claim the name of Christ.

Religious people would look more at the moral standpoint and the moral background, while a non-religious person would look at the data, the math, etc.

their answers always start with "bible says that.."
and if it is not in the bible they don’t really care

in the spirit of you learning, I will say you have a lot to learn about the bible, history and common sense.
Here is a pointer. To understand you must
1) Know the languages and how it is used. for instance Jesus spoke in Aramaic. Aramaic has Idiom that have a meaning other than the words used.
2)know the history of what is going on at the time these were written.
3) understand the ones that wrote what you read. For instance Paul was pharisee find out what that means snd how it folds into what he says.
4) most of all use the original scriptures. you will be told that there are none, however there are. The Greek is not the original but translation.
