Science IS Religion? Yes.

Science and Religion

We all need to take a moment and step back and really examine why we choose to do what we do. We are all influenced in one way or another by our history, religion, science, culture and society we live in. The reality is science is the explanation of religion. On all points. The creator of the universe and everything in it is NOT a magician, but a scientist. Case in point: the mind and body advances through technological and medical sustenance. This same scientist also happens to be of a natural infinite energy, completely self-sustaining, which furthermore supports the fact the spirit that dwells within every human being needs the same amount, if not more, of nurturing development, attention and care. 

In an effort to bring the two together, I had meetings with pastors and leaders of various churches as well as scientists of independent laboratories that specialized in everything from stem cell research to the cure for the common cold. Needless to say, neither side would agree with the other completely, leaving with exactly what we came in with; an agreement to disagree. But all is not lost. This is good. This means that both sides will continue to do as they always have and furthermore prove my point. They were both correct in believing that we as a species need both in order to be complete. 


You see, the ability to think, feel, create and innovate are all natural elements you are born with as religion explains. The outcome of the decisions, the responses to the feelings, the results of the creations and the benefits or consequences of the innovations are all natural elements of science. One cannot exist without the other. They are relative whether you choose to believe this or not. They are attached in design whether you choose to accept this or not. Religion is the concept: Science is the reality. 

Existence and everything we have come to know about it, is proof that this statement is true. The idea of a planet that will support life started as an idea. Science made that idea a reality and here we are. Religion will continue to play an intricate role in our daily lives, no matter our personal position on any specific point such as god, devil, extraterrestrial biological entities or any other debatable topic we can find. Everyone from atheists to mainstream religious followers all have one thing in common: they exist! They exist as human beings, living completely by permission of each other in free will. We have the ability to collectively accomplish anything we set our minds to. Our literal "religion" - our set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of life, is only accomplished, achieved and realized through our literal "science" - our knowledge and understanding of the components of our natural world. So without a doubt and without contest, science is a religion for what its worth and the two will always coexist as a compliment to the other. 


Just because you do not believe in something does not mean it does not exist. Every question has an answer. How you feel about the answer does not change the facts. For example: place a pencil under a piece of paper. The pencil becomes invisible. It does not mean the pencil does not exist. It simply means you cannot see it. Like the air we breathe-like the wind; it's there even though you can't see it. By choosing not to believe in air is not going to take it out of existence; just like choosing to believe the pencil is not under that piece of paper is not going to take that pencil out of existence. If the temperature gets cold enough, the air is revealed. The same as if you move that piece of paper, you will find the pencil is still there. Fact is fact; regardless of how you feel. You can say, I don't believe in pencils, but that pencil is still going to be there regardless. 


Another example: I don't believe in paying taxes either, but that doesn't make the I.R.S. go away and poof them out of existence. Just because I don't believe in it, doesn't mean they're going to stop taking deductions out of my paycheck. In other words, even if you choose to believe or not believe; it does not matter to the factual reality, because that is the just the way it is.

Now to address the other side of this, you have free will. You have the ability to accept or deny any factual basis you encounter. In other words, you can choose to use that pencil and write on that paper or you can choose to use a pen or some other implement that you believe in. You can choose to pay your taxes or you can choose not to and put your money into something you believe in. It is your world coexisting with the real one you live in. One of the best lines I heard in a movie was from "Bruce Almighty" when Bruce asks God, "well can I ask 'why' and God says yes, you can! That's the beauty of it!" So for now, you may not agree with everything that was, is or is going to happen before, during or after you are gone from this life, but you are completely entitled to think, feel and respond in any way you choose during your stay here at the fabulous five star Hotel de' Existence.

3. If persons marry on any of these days, they will be apt to separate and live in quarrel and poverty. 

4. If a person commences a voyage on such a day, they will generally return home sick or met with an accident in body or goods.

5. During these mentioned forty-two days, five days are especially unlucky days.

DO NOT TRAVEL ON: MARCH 3, AUGUST 17, SEPTEMBER 1, 2, AND 30

One who sheds blood on April 1, August 1, December 1; will die within seven to eight days thereafter. 

(Dr. Horatio explains why he believed based on his scientific data, these supernatural things would happen)

APRIL 1 - biblical Judas the traitor was born on this day.

AUGUST 1 - biblical Satan was rejected from Heaven on this day.

DECEMBER 1 - biblical Sodom "to" Gomorrah were destroyed.

(Now it is crucial for the sake of accuracy that we stop here and explain this largely misunderstood fact. While indeed Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, it is imperative to mention it was not just those two cities caught in the crossfire of judgment. The cities of Admah, Zeboim and Zoar were also included. These five cities, also known as the "cities of the plain," were situated on the River Jordan plain in the southern region of the land of Canaan. The Jordan River plain has been compared to that of the Garden of Eden,^[Gen.10:13] being a land well watered and green, suitable for grazing livestock. Divine judgment by Yahweh was then passed upon Sodom and Gomorrah along with two other neighboring cities that were completely consumed by fire and brimstone. Neighboring Zoar was the only township to be spared during that day of judgment.^{[Deut.29:23][Gen.10:19]}

 

In Christianity and Islamic traditions, Sodom and Gomorrah have become synonymous with impenitent sin, and their fall with a proverbial manifestation of God's wrath.^{[Jude 1:7][1]} Sodom and Gomorrah have also been used as metaphors for vice and homosexuality viewed as a deviation. The story has therefore given rise to words in several languages, including the English word "sodomy", used in so-called sodomy laws to mean basically any sexual act deemed unnatural.^[2]

^{Whoever is born on any of these unhappy days will die of a violent death or will be disgraced before the world and seldom reaches old age.}
