Pope Pius XII: The Equilibrium Of Religion And Science

The Equilibrium of Religion and Science
True science discovers God waiting behind every door.
----Pope Pius XII
In the common sense, science and religion are considered to be two things at odds, for they contradict each other. In the aspects of the exterior, it is true. Giordano Bruno was burnt alive by the Catholics for revealing scientific truth. Darwin’s theory of evolution is not taken into curriculum in half of the middle school in US because of the oppression from Catholic. However, in the interior, science and religion are two identical twins who grew up with a different character and later turned rivalry. They came from the same embryo and were developed in the same womb.
Science and religion were brought to the earth since the
In macro, simply speaking, God is the mother nature, the universe. JWH, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, they are not different deities leading their followers to fight each other all day long, they are different aspects of the mother nature, people just call her name differently in different regions. God does exist. If you want proof, then use your telescopes to look to the heavens, and tell me how there could not be a god. God is in science. Science proclaim that even the slightest change in the force of gravity or the weight of an atom would have rendered our universe rather than our magnificent sea of heavenly bodies, which is easier to believe, mathematical impossibility or a power greater than us. The answer is self-evident. Religion is the foremost guidance for science to seek the ultimate truth of the universe—the true face of
Yet religion cannot keep up, a belief crisis is appearing. Scientific growth is exponential, It feeds on itself like a virus. Every new breakthrough opens doors for new breakthroughs. Mankind took thousands of years to progress from the wheel to the car. Yet only decades from the car into space. Now we measure scientific progress in weeks. A warning must be given, we are spinning out of control. the outcome of the deeper and deeper rift between science and religion may be more disastrous, even to the extinction of mankind. The symptoms have already surfaced. Science may have alleviated the miseries of disease and drudgery and provided an array of gadgetry for our entertainment and convenience, but it has left us a wonder without wonder, a heart without soul. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel utterly alone. We are bombarded with violence, division, fracture and betrayal. Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Humans now feel more depressed and defeated than they have in human history, a totally spiritual void. We cry out for meaning. Believe me we do cry out. We see UFOs, engage in channeling, spirit contact, out-of-body experiences, mindquests—all these eccentric ideas have a scientific veneer, yet
