Question

Sometimes, science and religion come into conflict. this is because: science and religion must disagree. science and religion can coexist just fine with a little effort, but sometimes choose not to do so.

Answer 1

The bible contains facts that agree with science. Note this scripture found at Isaiah 40: 22 "There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth" It was only in the fifth century B.C.E that Greek scientists had taught the earth was a sphere. But before that many had thought it was flat. But this scripture in Isaiah was way before Greek's had made that discovery.

And even Aristotle's idea of decay, he had taught that only happens on earth and that the stars never change or die out. But the Bible had taught at Psalm 102:25,26 it speaks about the stars and how " Just as a garment, they will wear out. Just like clothing you will replace them, and they will pass away."

So while some scientists have disagreements with religion, there are facts found in it that supports scientific findings. Science itself and religion can coexist and support one another based on true findings and good research. The people who say they believe in one however has to believe in the other. Both only have facts if the other agrees with that one. Otherwise if they both disagree with each other, they're just opinions. Not true facts. For people of religion to believe God is real, God made science. For people to believe in science, they believe in the thing he has made. You cannot disagree with the other.

Answer 2

I'm struggling with the wording of the second choice. My background is physics and most of the people I know are dumbfounded by the vastness of space, the laws that govern physics, and the beauty and simplicity of the way the universe explains itself. I have met people who do not agree with my assessment of the Universe, but they are in the minority and they are not fools for declining to agree.

I am trying to say that Religion and Science can coexist and many people feel this coexistence to be true without question. People pray for example who also manipulate complex mathematical ideas. We don't choose conflict without reason, but coexistence is always possible. It only takes men and women of good will to make it work.
