VS.
Science
By: Jake L
An age-old battle with both sides having nearly equal followers and those followers being die hard advocates. No side willing to budge and give way to a different possibility makes for a very complicated situation. With both sides so committed to their beliefs there is little chance of a resolution in sight. With this topic comes a very thin line one must walk to cover both sides without offending one side or the other, I know there will be groups that will never accept any one word of this and will hate me. Regardless, I believe this topic needs to be discussed and should no longer be viewed as taboo. Religion asks us take things on faith because they have been now as truth for centuries, but Science tells us that our beliefs are wrong.
Religion has been around since the creation of man according to the Bible and has been in high popularity ever since. No matter what part of the world you look to you will find some form of Religion or belief system. Although all religions and beliefs have some differences to them they all share one very common and major belief. That there is a higher being or presence that controls life, death, fate, world events or all of the above. There are countless Religions in existence and most have a very common belief system, When you break them all down and truly try to grasp what they say to be truth you find that almost all Religions are the same. With so many Religions saying the same thing just with different wording, it has to mean something doesn’t it? Science will always say “no.” Science in its own way is a form of religion. It is a group of people dedicated to defying the known and not willing to take something as truth because a book said it to be so. They will question everything and believe nothing that does not have the cold hard facts. Science has been around since man’s first thought. It is in our nature to wonder and question the unknown, without science we would not be where
