Science vs Religion

Since both science and religion are both involved in finding the truth then why is it that science and religion co-exist? Simply because science questions everything logically while religion uses the God hypothesis and their holy texts. The God hypothesis is using God to explain the unexplained. This is where science and religion clash and especially in medical miracles, and the creation of man and the universe. A medical example is when science cannot explain a patient who is cured from HIV, and thus religion would state that God did it. Evolution has been an ongoing battlefield since Darwin’s time because the theory of evolution is contradicts the idea that God created all man, even questioning his very existence. Finally, there is the explanation of the universe. Just because science does not know the origins of the universe does not mean that God created it.

So can they still co-exist even though many religions denounce those who question the existence of God because the very foundation of science forces the person to? Belief requires faith and some people, such as atheists, are incapable of faith in which their minds are only receptive to evidence. Would it be ethical to blame those who believe science is the answer simply because it provides more evidence? Take Galileo for an example. Galileo was a religious man till his death and yet he was accused by the church of heresy. Could it be that science can co-exist with religion but religion cannot co-exist with science?

In conclusion, I believe that science knows its limitations and dwells within that and finds many scientific evidence. Religion on the other hand is constantly being attacked by scientific evidence and that is why I believe that science and religion will never reconcile.
