ISIS follows the words of the Koran way better than your average Muslim.

you stupid or what? after I spoke at length here you think I'm TAQIYYA?! LOL. ISIS is terrorist organization so all religions can be a member of ISIS. I just laugh when Muslims regarded as ISIS, LOL.

Science has created way more gaps than it has filled. Ask any knowledgeable scientist. He'll tell you that for every answer we find, a dozen more questions are brought to light. This is more like creating gaps than filling them.

When science can give people 500 years of life in good health, then it might be starting into important areas. Science can barely see molecules of air that it has captured in the lab. They don't really have even a clue as to how to track a particular, specific molecule of wind as it travels around the world. Science essentially knows nothing. It will take science a thousand years just to start to really know anything.

Wake up. Science has given a false hope to people. It has deluded people, and dragged them away from the real hope that is found in religion which creates none of these deluded states in people.

Before God appeared there were so many murders and robberies. Therefore, the government decided to come up with God for the management of people.

Christianity is not a religion but this refers to the movement or way of life following the teachings and values of Christ. But when we talk about Christianity there are many forms and doctrines and that is where religions enter. Religion is an organized system that relays and interprets the teachings of Christ to the people. Religion becomes our guide towards the path where Jesus wants us to go.

For all the time the existence of religion can be many examples, when the church did very bad things. Remember only the sacred Inquisition, which destroyed all who are intelligent or think about something else. This applies to the Catholic Church, but Orthodoxy probably is not better.

my high self make me to believe that something is wrong with religions and religion is The root of deception in the world. People call Christianity religion but I don't think christian is a religion but away of life. Love has proved to be the most potent force on earth but religion abandoned love especially christian which is the teaching of our lord Jesus Christ. They are now pursuit fames, prosperity and miracle.

1> If you only use the eye to resolve the problem, I think the problem will not be completed if you just see/staring problem with an eye. lol

2> Not everyone came up with the concept of 'God(s)', as I have found in the post above "someone does not care about the natural disasters" people like it not have religion and faith.

3> Heaven and hell it exist. ISIS are not Muslims, ISIS is a terrorist organization. Terrorists are organizations that do not understand the true meaning of jihad. Everyone can follow ISIS and everyone can join with ISIS, why everyone can enter ISIS? because ISIS is a terrorist organization. ISIS not RELIGIOUS.

4> for me, this kind of thing is no need to be researched. lol

People turn to science for answers that their faith cannot give them as their religion has too many gaps.

Science fills those gaps and what gaps are not filled are being researched.

Each of us believes that he wants to believe and it's just not clear why everyone wants to impose their beliefs on others. Although I understand that a person always needs to believe in something. I have already seen more than once in my life that people turn to religion when they are ill or have got into a hopeless situation.

people believe in religion based on their beliefs and based in their faith...each of everyone they grow based on their religion in our daily life..we believe whatsoever that the problem has come to our life in everytime there is  a problem to lean ...Some of us believe in almigthy God thats why everyone believe in religion ...

People believe in God for a variety of reasons.  One is that is how they were raised; their parents believed in God and taught them to also.  Another reason is that people don't want to be alone in the universe; it is comforting to know that there is a higher force directing things, and that it is not all just random chaos.  The idea of a soul, of some form of life before and after death here on earth, is a very comforting one that, to a lot of people, makes more sense than being random creations of a soulless universe.  Other reasons for belief in God is that they have felt his presence in their lives, through guidance, manifestations of his spirit, or some sort of witness or revelation that he exists.

Evidence for God's existence is more tricky.  Scientists have tried to find evidence and often fall short.  On the other hand, some scientists believe that the mere existence of the complex human being is evidence alone-that nothing other than a supreme being could have invented such things as the human eye, for example. The kind of proof or evidence that exists in support of a God is the more internal proof felt in the heart.  People have felt, in their hearts, a witness of God, and that is their proof.

In religion, "scientific proof" isn't necessary if one has faith.  Faith is believing in something that you can't see.  Faith is at the core of most religious belief, and for some, leads to assurance, calm, peace, and those further witnesses that I have been talking about.  To get into a scientific argument about God's existence is a difficult and often fruitless endeavor.  Ask anyone who has felt in their hearts that he is real though, and that is proof beyond all doubt for them.

Because people are born confused. You're a baby that knows nothing of why things are the way they are. A good percentage of them will go to what makes them feel comfortable.

for me religion can teach us good moral and Worship God people who believe in God that created us has posible to be a good man and to be a positive people to any strugle that come with us i believe prayer and worship God can help overcome problems thats way i believe in religion

I think this is because it gives them comfort when confronting death. Their deaths and their loved ones. I think it makes people feel good about dying instead of trying to stave it off for as long as possible and living healthy lives. With religion you can treat your people like shit and they will just hope for something better in the afterlife.

People came up with science to console themselves that they will never be able to fill in the gaps.

yours exactly what I said above, these are the words of people who have faith. until now I still wonder why there are people who do not care about the natural disaster etc., as someone said above.

Science cannot give answer for everything in this word and universe, but religions give answer for all including the problem of life after death. So, many people believe in religion. People thing religion is the only remedy for problems. 

True faith is hard to know. Everyone believes in his own way. It seems to me that even atheists believe in something, only they do not realize and reject the very faith. I am sure that a believer can always live with dignity and experience many problems, not just floods or other ills.

what you ever have a problem? how do you solve the problem? Do you not care with the problems you are currently facing? problem is a test, so earthquakes etc it was is a test. then why there Mosque, Church, Temple, Shrine, Pagoda, Synagogue. What are they doing there? what they expect there? if they are not expecting paradise? then why there a place of worship if you do not believe in the existence of heaven and hell? Do you know the "faith"?
