Will you join the dark side, or find the light?

Science vs. Religion

Can't you two get along? People from both of these camps spend so much time fighting that they no longer hear the wind in the trees, or see the stars in the sky. Come out of your claustrophobic labs and stale churches for five minutes, look up, listen, smell the air, feel the breeze on your skin, taste the rain.

Certainly you can find bits and pieces of your purpose and existence by tinkering with theories or studying ancient texts, but you will never know the greatness and depth of the universe if you don't let go and feel it for yourself.

I have found truth and beauty in both science and religion, and the funny thing is that they both seem to be hindered by the same flaws:
They are both incredibly arrogant, and both incredibly short sighted.
