One Can Understand Science And Religion
1,326 wordsHow to Explain Diversity: A Cultural problem The history of humanity has shown that the influences of a select few, charting their ideas of what is right and wrong, pure or dirty, black or white may all influence cultures; but these principles do not follow a certain direction.

Religion and science can co-exist and can both be used in determining the beginning of our world and its people. Religion and science both have the same basis, whi...

Existence Of God Science And Religion
1,008 wordsThe existence of God has been questioned since the beginning of time.

However, Heraclitus has evidently provided both modern science and religion with a backbone for understanding aspects of both Death and Creation. Heraclitus clearly fueled the ideology or at leas...
