Description
There seems to be no place in science for a God, and no place in religion for modern science. The two seem to be in conflict on all the main points. Religion requires miracles. Science requires the universe to follow laws. Religion and science each have their explanation for how the universe began, but these bear little resemblance to one another. They each offer a theory for how humans came to be on the earth, but the miraculous instantaneous creation of Genesis bears little resemblance to the slow evolution from one-celled animals described by Darwin.At every point there seems to be a deep disagreement. Scientists who are religious resolve this by compartmentalizing their thought. They simply will not think about the contradictions. The deeply religious often bear a deep suspicion or even a smoldering hostility toward science. This schism widens over matters of abortion, public prayer, genetic engineering, and numerous other matters of public debate.As the Hopi prophecy makes clear, man cannot continue to exist in this divided state. The spiritual and the scientific sides of human wisdom must communicate. Science affords modern man with enormous power. This power can be used for good or evil. Often the long-term consequences are not even apparent. Science cannot always answer such questions. Religion has known for eons that a higher wisdom is available. Man must learn to seek guidance on a higher level, in order to use these new tools wisely. If he does not learn to listen to spiritual wisdom, the new tools of technology will become weapons, and will lead to our destruction. This, I believe, is the intent of the message of the Hopi. - Synchronised Universe by Claude Swanson Ph.D
