Science and religion

Don’t make science and religion into enemies. They’re not fighting for the same territory. Science is necessary to remind religion of the truth and complexity in the physical universe and what this world has to offer us as beings in it.
Religion is necessary to remind science that humanity has always sought a world beyond the physical world.

Science is bound to discovering truth in nature and has shown noteworthy success in doing that. Religion is bound to the truth in human spiritual yearning. Both science and religion have been destructive forces at times, but both have proven their necessity to humanity.

When science and religion are allowed their appropriate domains of influence, they are meaningful partners in giving us insight into and understanding of our fullest humanity.
