RELIGION COINCIDING WITH SCIENCE

Chapter 5 of the Socratic Universe poses the question, "Are science and religion compatible." This is a very interesting topic. I do not see how they can be compatible knowing little about science and liking to think i know about religion. I have always thought that scientists believe in evolution and some religions, such as christianity, believe in the creation. If this is true then they dont mix; they arent compatible. They could agree on other issues or topics, but if they cannot agree on how the earth was created then in my opinion they dont agree. Science is very real. Experiments can be done to prove one thing or another. They raise the hypothesis test it with the experiment and come to a conclusion. There are steps one takes to find what they please. Religion is very different, yet close to the same. The significant difference many would say is "You can't prove that God exists." Of course there are arguements for both sides like every debate. Ultimately religion requires a great deal of faith; believing in something that you cannot see. Many say they cant see God to know if he is real, but to me God exists in our everyday lives since he is the creator of all things. God is much to big to wrap our minds around which is why scientists have a hard coping with the idea of faith. CHAKS TAKE
