"Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand."
Just a quote from Dan Brown's first Robert Langdon thriller entitled Angels and Demons. And it is quite a quote. One could ponder on this for the remainder of their lives, devote their lives to trying to prove or disprove such a thought... such a deeply profound notion.
Or, one could simply look around themselves to see the truth in such a statement.
Are science and religion polar opposites? If so, why are so many monks, nuns, priests, and pastors also involved in the field of natural sciences? Despite Galileo's persecution by the Roman Catholic Church, he was a devout Christian while also being an avid scientist in search of the truth.
Is it possible to simultaneously explore things both observable and unobservable? Can the "truth" of the universe and all of creation be explored in the things we can see, hear, taste, smell, and feel? Is the beauty of God observable all around us?
I sure think so. =)
Love,
David
