I just watched "Contact" for the second time...
... and I'm forced to wonder:
Why do so many scientists, as well as many religious figures, see science and religion as diametrically opposed to one another?
I mean, I'm a fairly religious person, and science is something that's very important to me. In some cases, scientific acheivements don't adversely challenge my faith, they help me define it.
I'm sure I have more to say, but I'm tired right now. SO, I'll open the discussion up to you, my friends. What do y'all think?
