What good has science done? It has discovered things of the world years ago, studied many aspects of life, and researched cures for many different diseases. It also explains many phenomena we wouldn’t know about otherwise. Scientists research and study issues we want to know about and explain how it happens. On the other hand, what good has religion done? Religion has also played a part in our lives to explain things. There may be different religions, but they all give us comfort because they give us explanations and reasons to live the way we live. Then why do these two important aspects of life quarrel over just about everything? Can’t they just combine their thoughts and research to come up with one explanation? Well, it would be possible if every scientist and every religious official could agree, but it’s just not probable. We should still try to take pieces of each to use in our lives. The tricky part is how to do this. Some people just want to be completely religious, and some may not believe in any and want scientific answers for everything. In an article I found on scienceray.com called, “Common Ground in the Science-Religion Debate,” it says:
"Of course, just like historians argue over different historical accounts of events, scientists and religious proponents will continue to argue over the details even though the end result is the same. But then again, to many, the details do matter. And for those of us that don’t mind the details, its certainly an interesting and long lasting debate to follow."
So even though the two aspects may not agree, we can follow the debate, find things we like about both and come up with our own thoughts and feelings on the issue. After all, that’s what being in a free country does for us.
