Science or Christianity? I want both for myself

[Relates (Roger A. Sawtelle)]

My life is physical and emotional. I need both science and Christianity. Then how could I reconcile science with religion? I am trying “dual life”. When it’s about my emotional life, I go for religion. When it’s about my physical life, I go for science. Creation or evolution? One is belief, the other is a theory.

Shaun,

Thank you for your statement of faith.

You are right. People are both physical and emotional (spiritual.) We need science and faith. I will go one further. People are physical, rational, and spiritual, We need science, philosophy (the science of thinking,) and faith. Philosophy, thinking about thinking, not Plato and Aristotle, helps us to understand our faith and helps us to understand science and reconcile them.

The Trinity reflects this. God the Father is the God of Creation or Nature, that is science… God the Holy Spirit is the God of Faith, that is spirituality. God the Son is the Logos (John 1:1) is the God of the Rational, that is philosophy. God is Three and One, just as we who are created by God is God’s Image are Three and One, One and the Many, Unity and Complexity.
