Explain, please?


Good scientific research almost always has two outcomes:

  1. The answer to a question through the scientific method of constructing a hypothesis, performing tests which produce results, then compare the results to the hypothesis, and revise.
  2. More questions.

There are always more questions to answer. Man has always wanted to learn more about his surroundings and about how things work. Pagans are evidences of that, taking what the see in the world, and trying to make sense of it all from no correct information, creating idols to worship in an effort to try and reach out and manipulate the mechanics of the cosmos (i.e. praying to Poseidon [Neptune] to calm the seas).

Science is a beautiful tool we’ve been given through the gift of logic to understand much of the world around us, but, just as in the garden, temptation can ruin a beautiful thing. The more questions that arise, one question has swayed many scientists away from God: Does God exist?

Logic is a useful tool, but to have logic alone is not to strive to be like Christ, which will make us perfect if we do His commandments. Faith is the key which marries with logic to create the answer which is something beautiful and precious: salvation from our sins. Science has yet to begin to answer that question.
