Can religion stand up to the progress of science?
This question was the main topic of an interesting online article I found about the science and religion debate.
If you type science vs. religion in Google you get 25,700,000 results. So it is unarguably a hot debate.
The article argued that science has moved at an incredibly fast rate in the last two hundred years. It has put a grasp and quantified many of the things that religion explained for previous generations.
However, it also mentions the multiverse hypothesis in cosmology speculates that ours may be but one in a cascade of universes, suddenly bettering the odds that life could have cropped up here accidentally, without divine intervention.
However, religion depends on faith. And although it is a perfect system for a harmouniously functioning society when practiced correctly, it is in essence not logical that God said let there be light and everything happened.
However, modern humans depend too much on proof and support and sourcing and less so on the power of faith.
I truly believe that religion is dwindling in modern societies and the emphasis on science, logic and proof is gaining momentum. What will come for the future in religion is uncertain.
Only time will tell.
