Do you think religion and science are parallel or opposite? A lot of scientists have accepted the existence of God. Physics in its higher form becomes philosophy. I believe religion and science are parallel. On the surface level, we see religion and science just opposite but deep inside both point towards the same reality. I can see a lot of similarities between religion and science.
Some science types are militantly anti-religious. In other words, it's a personal grudge. With such an attitude, many of them are not looking at things without bias, possibly as much as incredibly closed-minded religious types.
The more you get into religion, you move closer to spirituality while the more you get into science, you move closer to logic. Science and religion are two contrasting worlds. And can never be married together.
