Now, before you go on to read this, much like my entry on abortion, let me remind you that I am a Christian so I do come in with my opinions as you would when you read this.

I know that I should be writing my essay on Burma and Malaysia right now, but bear with me.

This post was sparked off by reading this and this. Now, last Sunday, I spent my day in what some would call a very ’secular’ environment: at  debate selections. During lunch, I had an animated debate (Sigh, yes, I know, we debate even when we don’t have to) about religion all because I asked a friend who I thought was Hindu why he was eating a  beef burger. We then went on to talk about religion, pre-marital sex and Dawkins.

I heard much about science this semester. The  above mentioned friend said that the reason why people still go to religion because of a lack of explanation and understanding, which is why we have to attribute it to a higher being. Now, I don’t actually have any problem with that, because I personally don’t have a problem with faith. But then he said that one day science with answer anything. It reminded me of a rather closed minded guy that I met in the USP seminar who told me in the discussion forum that one day science will take over life because it is the higher plane of knowledge.

I’m not here to argue about the supremacy of science. But I just wonder if we’ll ever know if science has explained everything, because there is so much to explain. I don’t quite know how to put this across, but with each discovery of science, we discover even more questions. To me, it just seems like someone must have known the answers when these things were created (or exploded or whatever you believe) for them even to function in the first place.
