Food For Though/Though For Food No. 6: Science & Religion.......Get The Fuck Along!

Remember when I said it would probably be a while since I would do another Food For Thought/Thought For Food? Well, I might have made a little lie about that. The last one I did needed the right catalyst, but this one I planned out ahead of time. Given that it's April and there's a certain religious holiday later on this month, I find this edition of Food For Thought/Thought For Food to be rather appropriate. Those who are on the sensitive side, tread carefully.

It seems that in this modern time, not a day goes by where you see popular scientists bashing religion/faith & those who believe in the existence of the divine, and vise-versa it seems that religion (Some of it at least) does whatever it can to take a jab at science. You see it all over the internet: on Youtube, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. It seems inescapable, and your curiosity attracts your attention to them. With both sides seemingly at odds with one another, I'm here to tell you......that both are the same thing.

That's right, Religion & Science are one in the same! Both are powerful forces in the world, both have shaped the course of life, and both explain the world at large. Religion does it though story, myth, and history. Many who have lost much in their lives often turn to the force of faith, and are reshaped for the better in some cases. Science, on the other hand, explain the world differently. Science explains the world through logic, fact, experimentation, and reason. Those who wish to advance medicine & technology often embrace the power of science, creating the foundation for a better tomorrow. Now, you're probably asking me & yourself: if Religion & Science are so similar, why don't they get along? I'll tell you why!

For starters, fucking ego is part of the problem! Both sides are so full of themselves, they can't see the forest for the trees! Religions & Science are so certain that their viewpoint is the right point, that their way is the only way, and that anyone who doesn't go along with them or doesn't agree with them is stupid & wrong. In the old days these arguments were more civil & intellectual, but these days it's all devolved into "You suck! No, you suck!" verbal spats. Any intelligence that might be in these spats is gone when you look at how juvenile it all seems. Grow the fuck up!

Secondly, religion & science have some of the biggest wackjobs in history. Both sides think that they're 100% normal, sane, and that the opposing side is flatout insane! In truth, both religion & science have some of the most out-there people in existence. Don't believe me!? Check these link's out, and you'll see what I mean.

Finally, the reason that religion & science will likely never get along is cults of personality. The worlds of religion & science all have individuals that people bend over backwards for, although this has always happened throughout history. What makes this so infuriating in the modern age is that time & time again evidence that shows that some of these individuals are flat-out frauds! Whether people can't see these flaws, or they refuse to see the flaws, I can't say. This really is an example of case-by-case, provided someone can see.

My final words: Science & Religion, you're the same damn thing, just from opposite sides. Get used to it!

Anyways, this was another edition of Food For Thought/Thought For Food. I'm not making any promises, but I hope I don't have to do another one of these for a while. In any case, part 2 of Compilation Month is coming next Monday. See you then!
