Science and Religion

I asked a friend in theology school,

“How do you bridge the gap between science and religion?”

He replied by saying,

“Wrong assumption, wrong beginning; I don’t think there is a separation between the endeavor. Scientists, back in the days, the 16th and 17th century, the time when man fell, Adam and the tree, mankind not only fell spiritually, but intellectually as well.
Back then, a lot of the scientists thought pursuing God was pursuing science. They say evolution and Christianity clash and that people have to choose one or the other.
But really? When did evolution become proof of God’s nonexistence anyways? The Bible is not the book of everything. It’s a mashup of different types of literature that ultimately portrays God. Science, on the other hand, works in a specific domain: the physical world. Not to say that spiritual world excludes the physical, but it focuses on what is sensible to the five senses; of course a little deeper into than what is for the naked eye."
