Religion's the subject and I do her quick

Religion is much more personal than science could ever be. Why would you want to entangle the two? You do not prove religion, you simply believe in it.

Proving yourself is easy enough. And how would one do that? By believing in yourself right? That's called faith, all the same. No one can tell you to not believe in yourself... because 'they' can't comprehend what you can - your thoughts.

I'm not on any one side of this popular debate but I will state that science is as fundamentally unsolvable as the cause for religious faith. Science is never solid and will never complete. Simple arithmetic glimpses at this inevitability through math's foundational indefiniteness.

This the beauty of science; pursuing that seemingly unreachable theory of everything that's only waiting there to be discovered in order to truly stimulate the discoverers by telling them, ' this is only the tip of the iceberg people!' that they've solved.

As soon as we discover something more, the number of things that we can assume we don't know is doubled. As the biggest questions are answered, they only really bring about even more curiosities. The most timeless paradox of them all.

It's like fanning the flames of knowledge. Most scientists would love to think that there's way more to find in our universe than we could possibly fathom. Though the ultimate purpose of science should be left up for discussion.


I'm being more philosophical about the debate here and that's beside my usual self, but I just wanted to share my thoughts with everyone, if only briefly.
