When science does not work

[Rufus21]

I follow science where one should follow science and I follow religion/revelation where science does not work.

Can someone give an example of a situation where science doesn't work?

I've heard people say that science cannot handle situations outside the natural world, but there is no indication that religion can either. In fact, neither can offer any evidence that a supernatural realm exists in the first place. So what are some situations where science does not work but religion does?

Science can't tell what you just did yesterday.
However we can get to know what you did if an eye witness wrote about it for us to believe with faith. That's the only way.

That in itself can be problematic. Before we can accept eyewitness testimony we have to establish their identity and verify their accounts with other supporting evidence. We need to check the accuracy of their account. We need to know if the witness can be trusted and if they have any ulterior motives in claiming to be an eyewitness. There is a lot more to it than just accepting that an alleged eyewitness is presenting the truth. When eyewitness accounts are presented second-hand and no more than claims that there were eyewitnesses, then we are justified in dismissing them.

Science is futile about this.

The scientific method is the best way we can sift out lies and bias and get to the truth of the matter.

Religion is just the claimed accounts of testimonies about God's deeds. It can be just as true as how an eye witness writes about your deeds. The only difference is that you are a human and can't do supernatural deeds while God can.

Unsupported claimed accounts have little value. The claim that God can do supernatural deeds belongs in that category. The attributes of God have all been assigned to him by humans based on what they believe a god should be like. God has yet to verifiably demonstrate that any of them are actually true.

Best I can tell, science is simply working evidence of what people do. In other words, if it doesn't 'work' it's more likely a flaw in the people perpetuating it - science isn't broken, we are.
Examples...I would guess those would be when experiments are ran and results aren't what's expected and nothing's learned from it.

In other words, it is like religion. Right, please?

Nope. Not at all. When it comes to the testing of the theories/hypothoses, .. there is a methodology for making sure there is testable and repeatable predictions. What the method says if the results are not repeatable is that there is a flaw in the model. If there are results that are anomalies, then an examination can be made to see WHY there is an anomaly.. to see if the experiment is flaws, or the theory is either flawed or incomplete.

We are talking about physical science, right? Sure, I can. You cannot scientifically test whether or not what Hitler did during WWII was right, or wrong.

There, a situation where science doesn't work.

The origin of the natural (which is and has been scientifically confirmed) realm can only come from the supernatural realm.

So what are some situations where science does not work but religion does?

Oh, you want another one? How about science not being able to tell us whether or not Communism is the better economic choice than Capitalism.

Again, a situation where science does not work.
