Can a world coexist? Can we find a common ground between science, and religion. This is a blog for expanding knowledge on what we know and don't know about the existence of man. The idea is to compare and contrast ideas of the science, and religion world. I myself am a believer in God and creation, but am always searching. Looking for answers to explain the great anomalies of this vast, and for all we know endless universe. My goal is to have everyone who reads the blog get involved. I want feedback. The only way we can learn is from each other, and research. The bottom line is whether you think you know everything, you don't. That is why I am starting this blog. I want to learn, and know as much as I can about why, and how we are here. I find myself asking questions like, " If there is no god, doesn't humans emotional roller coaster, and individual quirks seem so much more odd when it is conditioned and random?" or " There is so many infinitesimal and miraculous details that are factors in how earth is able to harbor life, could it really be random? If questions like this plague at your nomadic mind than this blog is meant for you. The one thing I don't want is for people to reply with shrewd and meaningless comments. I'm looking for depth, not vague ignorance with an attitude. This goes for the holy rolling Christians, and the extreme science advocates. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has to add. Let me end with a quote,
Science can purify religion from error and superstition;
religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.
Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish....
We need each other to be what we must be, what we are called to be." (-Pope John Paul II)
Billy! sup mang. miss you dudes...ill be the first to pop this cherry.
ReplyDeletei think about this stuff all the time. i honestly dont think that science and religion can coexist. they are the antithesis of each other. faith is belief without evidence, science is belief based on evidence. science shapes its theories based on observation. faith shapes its observations to fit its theories. the main difference is, religion claims that they already "know the truth" so that gives no room for experimentation and/or observation. if you already know... then how could anything ever change your views? how can you learn? science is always modifying and updating their perspective by continuously studying the nature of existence to learn more and more. which is funny because thats what religion actually originates from. the study of existence. it started from star gazers, and philosophers who couldn't quite understand or explain certain phenomena so they would personify what they saw to help try and make sense of it all. those personifications became known as "gods" in the "heavens". which lead to worship and tribute. which lead us to where we are now with religion. einstein said it best with , "it is only the scientists doing good work who are truly religious people." science is the study of what is natural and religion is the study of what is supernatural. and thats why i dont believe they can coexist. i do believe spirituality and philosophy can coexist with science, but not dogma, doctrine or faith.
