My favorite subject, the one I'm majoring in, and I can't figure it out for the life of me. Religion. This stuff baffles the shit out of me. I wish I could somehow believe. Just blindly know and not have any doubts that the answer I followed was right. I'm not even talking about proof, if there were proof there would be no cause for faith. I sometimes just wish that I could make myself to believe. As it stands, I am a Christian, but that hardly seems to matter all that much. I make internal switches from the world of science to the one of faith almost daily and sometimes in between. I can't believe that the Bible is truth just because it says that it is. And I can't believe that science is truth because there are some obvious, well, holes where there should be answers.

I've been reading Contact, by Carl Sagan. There's a lot of that in there about that sort of thing. Agruments between characters about the Jesus and Issac Newton. The problem is that the two use completely different languages. In science, "F=ma" is a valid point and a strong point. In religion, "thus spake the Lord" is equally unquestionable.

If relgion preches reconciliation, and science preches understanding, then are they both hypocritical for distrusting each other?
