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."
