It is bind boggling how life works. There are tons of evidence that evolution is real, and that man has a part in evolution. In seeing other animals, it is hard to comprehend that we evolved from them. It is true never the less, and it has been proven number of times through science. By any means, science is not in the business if denouncing faith of any kind. Only we as individuals can change or faith, denounce it, etc. We are the ones as individuals that say how we believe in something or not.
Come right to it, science and faith are two separate things in life. Science is the study of life in all its disciplines. We might not have all that we have today if it was not for science. What does science have to do with faith/religion? Not one thing. How the two work are complete opposites. Faith/religion is the means of believing in something without proof or sight. Science must be proven and must be seen in some way by our five senses. This does not mean that science and faith are yin/yang of each other. It means that they have nothing to do with one another.
Faith is not exact aspect of life. Nor should it be. It is the mysticism that allows faith to grow. Faith must have no real absolutes. As with everything else, order must be the guide, but with faith, the order is controlled by the believer. The reality of faith comes from within the individual. With science, reality comes from hard evidence through scientific disciplines. Absolutes and protocols must be maintained in science. Another words doubts are the key to scientific success. Faith is none of that.
In regarding this article, the physical body is the ideology of science. Faith is the inner persona of the individual. I believe that the purpose of showing creationism in the Christian Bible is to show that the human biological body is different then our inner persona. When we are born, we are both a soul and a body. To prove this, when our body gets injured, our soul reacts to it. When we soul is either down trot or enthusiastic, our biological bodies responds to it. Even though as human beings it does take these two entities of life to come together, they are separate. They can partially live separately.
At one time people thought when you sneezed, you lost your soul. That is why people still say, "God bless you" after you sneeze. Originally they believed that God would put your soul back in you after you sneezed. Due to science, we all have come to learn why we sneeze in the first place, and the soul is not lost due to it. Science then and now did not destroy any ones faith. Science only educated us in learning more about the wonders of the human body. Through that education, our faith can grow also. We are how we are today due to science and faith.
Scientist lately have proven that there is not historical references to the Bible. I have not seen any churches close up shop due to it. How Christians believe has not altered. A good many have become far too arrogant, but the Christian faith is still alive and powerful. I changed from being a Christian to a Wiccan due to the overwhelming arrogance of so many Christians. It is sad that I had to do so, but my faith did not altar. It simply changed.
Ever since I was young, I had a thing for the Goddess Isis. I know it had a lot to do with the 1970 television show "Secrets of Isis." Ironic as it may be, a couple of months when I started with Wiccan (May 2007), this television show went to DVD. Now that I can have fellowship with the Goddess Isis and her son Horus. What an interesting connection to have. A lot of people believe that the Christian faith came from Isis and Horus.
Since I have been away from the unfortunate Christian dogmas, I have come to realize the importance of science and evolution. Can God and evolution co-exist? They are doing so if one believes it or not. Life is still going just as strong. The world has not come to an end because of evolutionary studies. Spite the arrogance of so many Christians, the Christian faith is still going one throughout the world.
In all the different faiths that are out there in the world, love is the key factor of them all. Love is everything in life. Love is the strongest thing in the whole universe. There are three things I will never tolerate: 1) lying, 2) ignorance that knows better, and 3) hatred. Actually I could say it is only one thing. There is not love in lying. There is not love in ignorance that knows better. All of us are ignorant in something. For me it more then one thing. What I am referring to in "ignorance that knows better" is we know better, but we are still ignorant or closed minded towards the facts. It also means that we refuse to learn, so we volitionally stay ignorant.
This type of ignorant is mostly hatred towards oneself then others, but it is hatred just the same. There is no win solution at all from hatred. It is worse then a cancer. It only grows from our own volition. When we let hate to grow in our souls, it is like a double snare. It makes it harder to let go as it continues to grow and grow. Once we can let go of our hatred, God and evolution can co-exist. From that humility, we can start to learn about life itself in way we might not realize. What is keeping progress in life from going forward is hatred from individuals that wants to believe in the Christians dogmas that have been wrongfully taught.
Blessed Be to Isis and you,
