The war between religion and science has been in play for centuries and with technology growing at the current lightening speed, the science side will take fewer casualties this time unlike before.

Dr. Charlie Townes, a Christian man and renowned scientist, considers the parallels of the two demonstrate they are fated to eventually unite (Townes, 1966). Many view science and religion as two completely separate realms, which are fundamentally different and pursue truth in distinctively unlike ways.

    Although Newton’s fame is incredibly enhanced by his work in science, he actually spent more of his lifetime on theology.
