Often times, the general public and media makes a strong attempt to completely separate science and religion. For years, human kind has made the attempt to pigeon hole someone into believing in either science, or religion. There has never been any wiggle room between the two. If one would take a moment to think for themselves, one would realize that the two can totally and easily coexist side by side, and even help to explain each other.

Science and religion help to feed each other immensely. Holes in science can be filled with religious implications, just as holes in religion can be filled in the very same fashion using science. For instance, it is very difficult for most people to believe that life on earth simply happened for no reason and with no help. It is quite difficult for one to believe that from a primordial soup with no life, sprang all of the plants and animals that exist today. Using religion, one can begin to understand the intelligent design theory. Simply put, life was began by a designer, and then was left alone to flourish in whatever way was possible. Similarly, it is very hard to ignore the obvious evidence of evolution. Science is the obvious explanation when it comes to the lengthening of giraffes necks over time, or even the continual growth of humans.

All in all, the two subjects can coexist together. They can even help to explain different aspects of each other in very simple ways. Do not be pigeon holed.
