One of the confusing pieces in the puzzle of life is fitting science in, which still being a devoted Christian. The debate over evolution has caused many differences within the world, as well as life formation. Science consistently tells us one thing about the world, but then sometimes faith is not there to back it up. As a chemistry major, I have found this as a rather interesting subject within my life especially wanting to go into a field of health care. Although I may not work specifically with people and their next life, dentistry still involves some faith aspects, as well as being a science major. These three interests in my life have allowed for a more open view of the world, Dentistry and faith are a blurry haze in the middle of the

I will never make a patient feel …show more content…
The role of a dentist is just what I have observed working in an office, where as the class and lab are from experience. My very first chemistry exam at Hope College started off with my professor praying over us. This was such a unique experience as I had never seen or heard of this before, especially in a science class. What I learned from this is that the two can overlap. There doesn’t have to be a black and white answer of how the world came to be, but just an understanding of a grey area. The world doesn’t always have answers for issues. Science can help explain the history in factual evidence, which makes me trust the past, including the bible. When there is proof of the bible, it reaffirms my faith because both subjects overlap.
