Religion Vs Astronomy :: essays research papers

Religion and science have always been in direct competition with peerless another. The ultimate goal of science is to call down the inexistence of God with facts, while the existence in God is simply establish on belief and faith. While 95% of the people living on Earth believe in a superior being of around sort, some might say that religion clouds the minds of otherwise logical individuals and makes it unsurmountable for them to pursue the justness of the Universe. Thus, the debate on which view is the right one continues on, while somewhere in the middle stand religious pursuit who are also scientists.     Many people claim that the belief in religion comes simply from the "need of some amour to believe in". However, it is difficult to wall against the fact that religion does not include its followers in something greater, indeed just a "need". It allows for an identification with a greater remains of religious believers and for the inc lusion in the love of a God. The only thing religion asks for in return is faith in its teachings which is made up of their morals and the existence of the God which they cherish and worship.     In the movie " tangency", Ellie Arroway represents many scientists in the world. She is torn between religion and science, however she is unavailing to rely on the assumed truths of the teachings of religions. Science is the wait for truth, it allows her to discover the truth for herself. As Palmer Joss later mentions in the movie, the purity of science is not abstruse in the furthering of technology. Technology is not the God that science seeks, for it seeks to create no God, science does not believe in any sort of God.     As religion accepts the truths written in its texts and taught in its teachings, science continues, through research, to search for "the truth of the Universe".
