Essay / The debate between science and religion - 866
Science and religion have always been in debate since the beginning of humanity. While science proved itself with logical truths, religion flourished with the faith and customs of its people. Can the two survive together? While the mere existence and origin of the human species has made us believe in multiple divine theories with various supernatural beings playing their roles, does this directly negate Darwin's theory that all humanity is the successor of the monkeys. Or is the Big Bang theory just a redundant theory of all scientific research. So let's go back to where all life began. Times when our ancestors lived in caves, hunted for food in berries and trees. Perhaps a natural phenomenon would trigger thunder and our ancestors would look up at the sky with fearful eyes and hands held in submission. There were times when the earth shook and even worse times when a sea of water flooded, taking with it his shelter, his food and his friends. He began to feel, realize and associate his own life and destiny in the hands of an invisible and supreme power to which he gave the name God. And this is how God was born. But what about the origin of man? Weren't we going to talk about Adam and Eve being created by God and the destruction of heaven and hell because of an apple? No . Here we are talking about a long essay with logical thoughts and rational words to choose from. And I'm becoming more and more atheist. It is believed that the basis of science is the observation and experiences that man has had for centuries observing natural phenomena, experimenting with various types. However, religion is considered and believed to be older than science. Did God create man or was he forced to let him be created by man.A closer...... middle of paper ......ith. Just as a scientist can be a religious man, a religious man can also use his scientifically developed bicycle. Even though our life cannot be improved by any God, science also cannot fill the void of people's religion and faith. Everyone has their own purpose and place. It only becomes random when the two are misplaced and overlap. When scientific theories are misnamed by religious dogmas. Or when a person's religious space and way of life are violated by anti-religious reproaches and racist positions in the name of science. Do they answer the same questions? What is important is do they make us question what our purpose is and to what extent do they succeed in making our lives more useful and meaningful. I leave that for my readers to think about. As someone said: “Religion should not be discussed or encouraged, but should be followed and believed.” Who am I, mortal ? !
