Having been in a debate or two over God and science and studding on a few of the subjects that seem to come up in the news.
I have found as well as noticed a few things. First there is room for both. Why some people fear that religion is anti science I am not sure But I have a ideal or two and that's getting away from this writing.
Now I am a believer and find science interesting (Some of it a bunch of hogwash at times).
As a believer I do not have to get into long arguments or debates I do not have to defend God. I do find that often I must state my case and leave it at that. Those that want to get angry, fight, spout off about what can't be proved or what they think is true are all wrong! You have lost when you go to these extreme's. Like what I said? Well You Might not because I am talking about people on both sides of a subject here, but most importantly to the believers In Christ. I would like to say as well. IF! You do not know the material please keep your mouth shut.You do more harm then good. Its better to appear a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
So many hear the word god and go on the defensive.They think they are being singled out they hear what they want.Feeling it is being forced on them, shoved down there throat, They become closed minded to what you have to say. God did not force His way into any ones life. He slowly lead me there and still leads me slowly. I wonder is he doing the same for you. How is it that so many think we have got to make or force everyone to be Like us! God gave us the right to choose from the beginning.
If we are to be the salt and the light to the word we should use what has been given to us in the right way, remembering to lead not drag.
Salt preserves and adds flavor and light shows the way pushing out the fears of the dark and unknown.
