Religion And Science Co-Existence

Explain whether agree or disagree with the notion that religion and science can coexist.

Religion and Science has existed for centuries and they can co-exist if not misunderstood what the difference in the two are. Whether I agree or disagree is a personal opinion that I hold with myself. This is called a freedom of choice, one of the gifts that God has given humans since the beginning of time. My belief, on whether the two can co-exist relies with one belief, "Faith". By faith, I can believe that something exist in my mind without having it to be proven. Science however, is based off what a person can prove. This is what we call "facts". Some people say God does not exist because they cannot prove it through science.

In today's society, we have gotten away from the basic principles, in the bible, that God has laid out for us to follow. Since the beginning of time, we were given rules to live by and believe in. This rule was called the "Ten Commandments". These commandments (NLT Exodus 20:1-21) give us a since of hope and a foundation from which we need to live our lives in order to see the creator.

Identify at least two key points from the Chapter 1 podcast that substantiate your position.

One of the two key point to substantiate my point of view on this matter is stated by Professor Fransico Ayala.

Religion has to do with our relationship to our creator and to each other, with the purpose and meaning of life, with moral values that govern our lives. So, they deal with different subjects so that no need to contradict each other.

This statement is clearly stating that there is no need to intertwine the two as one. Religion is based off religious beliefs in the creator and his law. Science is based of discovering the "how" something created or occurs.
