Angels and Demons journal entry.

The side of Leonardo Vetra's book read '' true science discovers god waiting behind every door-Pope Puis x11'' Pg. 55

Leonardo Vetra was a believer that physics was Gods laws to be discovered. Most people are under the impression that science and religion are like oil and water and Leonardo was out to prove that they are actually interlocked together and compliment each other.

Until I have read this book I never really even thought that this would be a possibility to have science and religion as one. I know that everyone wonders what is the purpose of are life and why are we here. It seems that if we choose just to believe in religion that there are many everyday situations that god does not explain. Yet if we choose to strictly believe in the laws of science many questions in the after life and in depth scientific situations are left unanswered. So it seems that we are all left in a dilema in what to believe in and are we leading a meaningful life. Leonardo seemed to make a link between the two that proposed God is science and science is God. If you choose to believe in this theory suddenly there is new answers to old questions. If we go back in time anything we did not understand we justified by God. But know that we understand how those things work we do not rely on God but we will never understand everything so therefore there will always be God.

Fair enough Byron. Your entry makes a lot of sense on the comparison between science and religion. One thing I'd like to point out to you is that it's disrespectful to not capitalize "God". Just a religious thing that we all follow. But I like how you tried to explain how you could never get rid of religion. Since technology keeps advancing, then we just give more reasons for problems to show up. And I agree with the statement about how if people don't understand something completely, then they believe it's God's work.

Great paragraph. You used spell check, didn't you ;)
