Beyond Belief, Session 3

I found this lecture very interesting because it is a subject that I have questioned myself about before and still have uncertainties about. Religion and Science will always clash, that is just the way it is. Because even when we think about it within ourselves it is hard to come out with a certain conclusion. It has been taught to me about how the world really began and also about how we evolved and also how many other animal evolved. This way of the world coming together is easy to believe because it sounds believable and there's facts and concrete evidence. Then there's the way that I was taught in church and in communion classes about God creating the earth. Even though this does seem far fetched I cant help but feel like this is what I should believe because I am Catholic and it just feels right to believe it. Besides if you believe in God and the afterlife why wouldn't you believe that the world being created this way is possible.

Just like it is hard for me to decide what plot to follow its just as hard for people of religion and those of science to come to an agreement of the creation of our world and space and whatever is beyond that. Its as if you have to follow one or the other because if you lean over to one side just a little your either being a against science or against religion. Its one or the other, there's no in between.
