Can Science and Religion prove each other?
Parade magazine recently ran an article that suggested that religion and science, can in fact compliment one another. “People have been seeking healing through prayer since Paleolithic times” note Dr. Herbert Benson, founder of the Benson-Henry Institute for mind body medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. The fast expanding field of psychoneuroimmunology, which examines how the neurotically and immune systems interact, is providing new clinical evidence of the connection between thoughts and health. There is growing clinical evidence that imagery is beneficial in treating skin disease, diabetes, breast cancer, arthritis, headaches, and severe burns.
But is that not what scriptures have declared to us? Psalms 27:7 says: “For as he thinks within himself, so he is”. That’s what happened when David stood before Goliath. He remembered How God had delivered him from the bear and lion and thought: “If God delivered me from those animals, surely he can deliver me from this giant. Even Jesus in the form of man, overcame the sins of the world because he not only thought, but was convinced and knew that he was the savior of the world. These examples and the above article only confirm the same thing- which is; my thinking determines the outcome of my situation.
So the question for the day is this: “Can science and religion prove each other? Is it so far fetched to believe that the bible that was written over the ages, can teach the same thing as science?

Now you’re thinking to the future Paster Joe. Yes; I think that within the next fifty years, science will prove the actual existance of God. This will change both Religion and Science.

I say this in kindness. Science in fifty years may say, “We confirm there is a God.”
Now when God “proves himself to the world”, no science will be needed for that. <><

Taco: To heck with you, I am not black, I voted for Bush twice, and I attend Baylor Law. So, your assumption about my “pimp ride” and my “Marlin Renunion” are far off. You will see the sympathy that is poured out for Obama and you will loathe me for what I told you. If your a hispanic, your a disgrace to the race.
