Lameness and Blindness

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."Albert Einstein.

I was quite taken aback when a pastor in my church mentioned in a Sunday sermon that the theory of evolution is a lie. There are heaps of evidence suggesting that every living thing do evolve to suit their different environments, we change and are changing continually that is undeniable. I often fail to understand what is the issue the church has with evolution, it does not explicitly disprove the existence of God at all. Yes there are a lot of people who will take it to the extreme and say dumb things like because we evolve, God does not exist. The theory itself does not state that at all. Yes, I know what some people are thinking. "What about the theory about humans coming from monkeys? Doesn't that run contary to the creation story in the bible?" Scientist have yet to prove that for a fact. They are frantically trying to find what they call "the missing link."So that theory is just that. Theory, not fact.

But that being said, science is not without its flaws as well. The greatest physcist of the modern times, Albert Einstein said, "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. "There are countless flaws and unknowns in science itself, giving an example will cause you to log out of this site immediately. So perhaps we should take Einstein's word for it.

Science and Religion have always been regarded as opposite sides of the same coin, they seem to be forever in conflict. Nevertheless they are part of the same coin, they share a relationship together. One side would not exist without the other. I personally believe that if you want to be religiously schooled, you have to be scientifically schooled and vice versa. I don't think that the church should treat science as an adversary, neither should science try to keep poking holes in religion as I know some famous scientist are. You will only end up lame or blind.
