Juornal #1: Angles and Demons

The quote I have chosen from Angles and Demons is a statement that raises some very philosophical questions, "Science and Religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand." page 88. Perhaps the most obvious question is, are science and religion really that different? In my personal opinion they aren't, there's no denying that they have different views but at the end of the day there both just searching for answers. The only difference between the two is one relies on fact verses faith to find the answers to those questions. Despite this the two are very similar to communism and facism on the political spectrum, their rules and goals are very different but if you stretch the spectrum into a full circle you realize that both use very similar methods to achieve those rules and goals. For hundreds of years man kind has seen religion rule as the dominating force of all our beliefs. Until in more recent years where science has began to catch up to religion and has given us so much more to believe in then just faith itself. Right now the two seem like such opposites, and their views easily contradict each other, however maybe there will come a time when the two can exist in harmony and people will be able to be both religious and scientific.
