I
am intrigued by the element of human nature that makes us prone to the
idea that most issues are ” either – or” propositions. We seem all too
willing to accept the notion that there are only two sides to
everything. Often, two sides are just the extremes of any position and a
third “middle ground” may exist. I guess you could say there could be
three (or more) sides to everything.
This
blog is dedicated to exploring the issues and areas of conflict between
Science and Religion. It is not a proselyting tool and it preaches no
particular creed or denomination. It is written by a man of scientific
training and education who also happens to hold a very strong faith in
God, Godliness and things of a spiritual nature. I do not pretend to
have all the answers but I do endeavor to show that there is not nearly
so wide a chasm between good science and reasonable religion as is
commonly thought. I want to bring Science and Religion back into the
partnership that I think was originally established, that is that good
religion can tell us what things are like and science can tell
us how and why those things are so. Religion gives us the exoteric
knowledge and Science gives us the esoteric knowledge.
