Another look at Science and Religion

“Whether one sees the world as God's creation or as a secular mystery that science is on the way to figuring out, there is no denying the beauty and majesty of everything from mountain ranges, deserts, and rain forests to the exquisite details in the design of an ordinary mosquito.” [Spirituality for the Skeptic] Robert C. Solomon

Yes the detailed work involved in the creation of one singular mosquito. Surely, science plays an important part of creation however, only a God could see the beauty of all life around us, from the breath taking elegance of a mountain range to a flowing body of water.

Although science explains many of the wonders that make up our planet and universe, Science itself had to have an origin. That origin being specified as the creator of heaven and earth in other words God himself.

I do not believe God to be an omnipotent being with long gray hair and beard. Rather an intelligence as perhaps the sun in our solar system could be our God, an all knowing and powerful intelligence on its own.

Science and religion working correspondingly with each other far fetched from religion itself such as biblical teachings does not teach or fulfill what science can logically explain.

Therefore, as long as there is question or doubt in in the explanation of the creation of the universe scientifically or religiously there will never be certainty in the laws of science or religion. We are as mortal beings an inquisitive soul, seeking answers to the unknown here on planet earth.

However, the truth is what we seek, confirmation in what we search for is not easily resolved… We are as human beings only babes learning all the while as we travel on our course here on earth. Each generation leaves its mark on life i.e., another page is resolved in our quest for the truth.

Scientist and religious scholars have only scratched the surface of understanding. We will continue to search for the truth for we as human beings are in a constant search for the unexplained phenomenon that makes us what we are.

There's nothing you can know that isn't known

There's nothing you can see that isn't shown
