Are Science and Religion Compatible?

The only thing that makes science incompatible with religion is ego. Too many folks on both sides thinking their side holds all the answers and the only truth, and then trying to belittle anyone with an opposing view.



Neither side hold all the answers, and they weren't ever meant to. It's like thinking a study of journalism in school makes you a better mathematician. We have brains... we were meant to study and learn everything we can. We have hearts, too. We're meant to use them... to develop love, purpose, faith, and other things that are unavailable through other means.



If there is a God, and I believe there is, it makes sense that he would understand the laws of nature far better than we do. It's been said "The Glory of God is Intelligence." The Bible is not God's primer on science, it's a history of one portion of the human family and teachings they received on how to live, get along, and find meaning in life. Ancient man would never have understood things like quantum physics or even basics like evolution. When the need arose to tell them where we came from, it was done in a simple way they could grasp, creative periods in steps, beginning with basic elements and ending with what we now see. When you think about it, that's what evolution also teaches.



Let's drop the walls and shake hands. We're all in this together.
