I saw in the news there was a giant open forum amoung scientists the other day there was a massive debate amoung scientists on religion and science.

It doesn’t seem to be that religion and science are opposing forces. Science can explain the creation of the universe but it cannot explain why that from nothing there came something. I would argue that the processes of science are real, evolution is real, and the world and universe are billions of years old. But, I am sure the processes of science were created by a higher being. I feel god in the things I do and the reality we live in. Because I can’t measure it doesn’t mean it’s not real. I’m spiritual in that way. However, I am not much a religious person. I believe the stories in religion teach valuable lessons about life. But, they are only stories and most of them are not real. I believe in the teachings and stories of Christ and believe they have real world value. I do not believe in a hell, a devil, or that god is vindictive or vengeful. I believe the processes that make this universe work the way it does are creations of god. They are beautiful and splendid in the way they created the world we live in.

Science allows us to measure, analize, and control these processes more and more every day. Also science allows us to create beautiful and intelligently made things based off of the rules and processes of the universe. Science is man’s outstreched arm, reaching in to the darkeness to know and control that which he cannot yet see, wholy. To me, science is as holy as the teachings of Christ. Christ was here to teach us that we each have the ability to be as he was and further that we each have god within us. Take these quotes from Jesus:
“Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
I John 4:4
or
“…behold, the kindom of God is within you…”
Luke 17:21
Science should be respected by Christians however it is reviled by many Christians. Spirituality should be respected by scientists. However, blind religion leads to ignorance, stupidity, and danger in one’s own life and possibly the life of others. Know and feel what you are priasing. Don’t do it just out of fear and you may come to the same conclusion as I have.

God is real, she is in me, walks with me, and through the processes of him I can create anything, good or evil, wise or unwise. Praise god.
