Science against Religion

I guess we both need science and religion to explain life. The wonders of life is mysterious - science can explain it but whenever something is beyond the capacity of our brains, religion or faith alone can console you certain answers.

I respect science greatly, and the people who work in its fields to try to better humanity. Science and math have always been my most favorite subjects. I am also, however, a Christian. I really don't think you have to believe in science OR a faith; it is entirely possible to put your full trust in both and have life make as much sense as possible. I think both science and religion try to explain too much. For example, religion has been important in society for humanity's history, but much of it is hearsay passed through generations. The core of faith is what people probably should focus on; instead, they get caught up in the details and how they believe everything is black and white. And, I assure you: nothing is black and white in this world. Science, on the other hand, has been developing and branching out throughout this same history. You have the flaws in science such as delaying turning theories into scientific fact and simply accepting things as that fact. For example, gravity, evolution, and the Big Bang theory are all just that...theories. I am willing to accept all three as fact as soon as they have gone through the complete scientific process, but they simply haven't. Because of this, it seems to me that science as a generality is tripping over itself, trying to research and prove too many things at once while leaving too many incomplete projects behind. Both religion and science have their flaws. Quite honestly, however, I don't think some things in life should be explained by either. The unknown is what keeps a person's imagination and interest up to par and is part of what makes life interesting. On a last note, I believe in both my faith and science, and I also believe the two can work together. I've never accepted "convenient excuses" as explanations for things...no, you'd better believe I'd be up and researching anything I'm not sure about! Adding to that, though, faith isn't something to compare to science. One is not black while the other is white. Both are gray areas and both are controversial, yes; however, one does not necessarily negate the other.
