Science and Religion
There is no question that science and technology play major roles in our lives. Technology and scientific thought pervade our life to such a degree that we hardly even think about using our computer to check our e-mail or trying different detergents to see which best washes your clothes. Many scientific notions, such as the theory of evolution, clash with what is written in the scriptures. There are those that believe that science and religion are two very different ways of looking at and explaining the universe. They believe that you must either be scientific or religious. However, I believe that science and religion can and in many cases do complement each other.Many famous scientists have been very religious people.

A quotation credited to Einstein best sums up my belief that science and religion are complementary, even necessary to each other. "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." le mind." His religious beliefs didn't clash with his scientific research; they complemented it and drove him to delve into the mysteries of the universe. Einstein saw his research as a way to get closer to God and even understand Him a little bit better. "I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice." He wanted to better understand the universe, so that in doing so, he could better understand God and thus be closer to Him. There are many historical examples of scientific technology working with religion or religion inspiring a technology. The motivation for the printing press, invented in 1422, was
