Balancing Spirituality And Science

There lies within man an innate feeling to know the truth about the meaning of life. Sometimes man may feel a vast emptiness, but when that feeling can be brought face to face with the truth of his own spirituality, then no longer is he frustrated and empty. The combination of the two aspects actually helps one feel full of hope, faith and love. Science can help bring spirituality to life and visa versa. You can think of it as, we are not physical beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a physical experience.

The incomprehensible distance in space and order of all the planets and stars, does indeed testify that the universe must have been created by a higher power. If we could travel at the speed of light (186,000 per second), we pass our moon in about one second, as we head into deep outer space (passing Pluto in about six hours). A journey to Alpha Centauri would take four and half years. Science had come a long way, answered many questions and caused much controversy in religions around the world.

However, there can be a balance between science and spirituality. The well trained mind of a scientist, if not misdirected by tamping influences of untruths and deceptions, will, if given time sift through words of error, must come face to face with this eternal truth. According to his own science and the big bang theory, when all the elements were torn from the sun and thrown into every corner of our universe, from chaos has come a balance so perfect that it has not varied in a billion years. Balancing the two is something you must do on a personal level.
