Science vs. religion
"The nucleus of the cell derives its name from the Latin nux, meaning nut. Like the stone in a cheery , it is found in the center of the cell, and like this stone, keeps its precious kernel in a shell. -Susan Griffin" , "Our Secret"
Ever since the evolutionary existence of humans, man kind has created various meaning systems such as art, language, writing, science, and religion. So humanity has created the idea of the Divine or God in his own thoughts and feelings of what God represents to himself. We create God through our capacity of understanding, this notion is created in our own mentality. This isn't a question of whether the divine exists in it's own physical reality. I am not questioning whether God exists outside our conscious mind. God exists because we believe It to exist. This notion is known as faith. Through out history humanity has also created science, and the workings of science known as logic and reason. Science has always been an area in which reason is always predominant. However science isn't always solid in its workings. For example certain theories in nature have room for disproval. Theory isn't an established Law in science, meaning there is solid evidence behind the theory but, there is some room for argument. That room for argument however is small. We have basically proven evolution. We see it coexist in recent generations. Laws in science are concrete and there isn't much to disprove. A good example is Sir Isaac Newton's Laws of motion which states "Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it(www.school-for-champions.com)." This example of a law is concrete and there isn't argument to change this prospective in motion. However the theory of evolution has been since controversial of whether this belief exits or not. There are several studies showing the strong emphases in evolution. I think you can have an...
