      TOPIC : Science & Religion form Bahai View

      One of the major beliefs in Baha’i faith is that “Religion
      is in harmony with reason and the pursuit of scientific knowledge”.
      In other words Religion should not be in contradiction with science.
      Having said that I would like to define Religion and Science to find
      The proper relationship between them. Science is merely human’s
      understanding from the surrounding world, it’s an attempt to document
      the rules that already exist around us. Science is an incomplete
      entity which is always in the process of change AND IT’S ALWAYS
      INCOMPLETE in comparison with time! The science today is ALWAYS
      less than the science tomorrow and IT’S NOT GARANTEED TO BE TRUE!
      On the other hand we have Religion, the so called voice of god.
      An entity which can never be wrong by definition. So how is it
      that from Bahai point of view Religion, this divine entity that
      can’t be wrong by DEFINITION HAS to be in harmony with Science,
      an incomplete entity which can very well be wrong?

      Example : Baha’i faith prohibits alcoholic drinks for average healthy people but on the other side science has proven the benefits of alcohol when it’s consumed under some certain percentage! So is Baha’i faith denying it self by not being in “HARMONY” with science?

          Racism in Baha'i scripture against the Africans

          The following statement is said by abdulbaha in "Promulgation of Universal Peace" p.311 and has a highly offensive attitude toward africans.

          "If a child is left in its natural state and deprived of education, there is no doubt that it will grow up in ignorance and illiteracy, its mental faculties dulled and dimmed; in fact, it will become like an animal. This is evident among the savages of central Africa, who are scarcely higher than the beast in mental development"

          Or in the same book he says:

          "If we study human beings such as the aboriginal tribes of central Africa,
          who have been reared in complete subjection to nature's rule, we will find
          them deficient indeed. They are without religious education; neither do they
          give evidences of any advance toward civilization. They have simply grown and developed in the natural plane of barbarism. We find them bloodthirsty,
          immoral and animalistic in type to such an extent that they even kill and
          devour each other."


          This reference is given out of a well known online Bahai source: http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/ab/P...101.html#pg311
