Science, and Religion. Material vs. Spiritual, Concrete vs. Abstract, Tangible vs. Ethereal. Seemingly opposite concepts, with very real implications for life and reality, often considered incompatible on various points, a conflict that has seemingly gone on forever. Rarely is there true mediation, a sincere attempt to present both aspects in a fair, logical light, providing validity and respect to both. This is such an attempt. Many wholeheartedly believe in the tenets of science; many also wholeheartedly believe in God, a supreme being, an intelligent, creative life-force, a Universal Consciousness. And, some of us wholeheartedly believe that these two are NOT mutually exclusive, nor that there needs to be such a conflict, such a wide chasm between the two, and if they would just get together, if BOTH sides could LISTEN open-mindedly to each other, they could come to understand and respect each other, and find common ground. Because there is much common ground to be found.
