Science vs. Religion

   The debate of science vs. religion has been a heated discussion since the concept of evolution was published by Darwin, and even before then. Yet, the debate is uncalled for. Religion and science cover two different concepts. Science is about discovering how things work by seeking physical truth and then believing. Religion on the other hand explains purpose or why things work the way they do. That truth is sought by believing first and then seeing. This idea is made clear in Ether "ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith." (12: 6)
   Fortunately, as a society we have moved on from the days in which religion scorned science. Unfortunately, the shift was to where science scorned religion. As I have explained this is uncalled for, as both have different purposes and seek them in different ways. Even so we are fortunate to live in a society where tolerance and acceptance is spreading. Both science and religion play key roles in our society today. Without science we wouldn't have many, if not all, of our modern day technological advances. Likewise, without religion I wouldn't have a clear idea on my purpose in this life nor would I know what happens after this life. The most important is that through living a Christ centered life I have been able to receive a spiritual joy that science nor technology can provide.
