Science and religion - part 2

Blogging after a busy week...

To continue from where I left off...

Science and religion are two human ideas that have been in near-perpetual conflict over what they consider to be a disputed domain. This "domain" concerns guidance of human thought.

But the irony is that these two systems operate in or SHOULD operate in mutually exclusive spheres. Science, which seeks to satiate man's inherent inquisitiveness about the things around him. and, religion, which should function as a moral compass and guide man's spiritual quest for inner meaning.

Unfortunately, this hasn't happened and we have been bombarded with hypocrisy, both from the scientific and religious camps. How can the so called saviours of religion condemn the scientists as unethical? Haven't they been the most unethical brigade in the history of mankind? How can the some sections of scientists unfairly slander religion when they know perfectly well that it is out of their sphere of jurisdiction?

Questions that need to be answered...Bright spots do remain and every once in a while we are treated to men who are committed to religion and yet have proved themselves to be scientific geniuses...Georges lemaitre and pascal are two shining examples...

We need more.
