Or are they complementing each other?

“Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.” — Isaac Newton

Science and religion have always been seen as two opposing forces. In the past, science has been seen as a threat to religion. Today, science is becoming more and more intertwined with religion.

In the past century, scientists have made many discoveries about the universe that align with religious beliefs. For example, scientists discovered that the Earth was not flat like many religions believed in the past but round.

Yet, there are still some conflicts between science and religion, such as in the debate over evolution.

Despite their differences, science and religion are essential to our society. Science helps us understand the world around us, and faith helps us understand our place in the world.
