Novel Journal: Angels and Demons

'"And God?" he asked. "Do you believe in God?" Vittoria was silent for a long time. "Science tells me God must exist. My mind tells me I will never understand God. And my heart tells me I am not meant to."'


I really like this line, because it pretty much sums up my own views on God. As a student interested in science and having been raised in a somewhat religious home, I feel that both science and religion can support each other and exist together. Whose to say that God didn't create science? Perhaps this all-powerful being used the "Big Bang" to create the universe. I don't think it's fair to say that only one is right. I would like to believe that one day science could truly prove God's existence, because I do have a hard time believing in something not entirely proven. And I feel that way with more than just religion. I find the existence of antimatter rather amazing; just that something can be made from nothing and that matter can be cancelled out. I think God may be something simply too big and complex us to understand. Although, that may just be a more scientific perspective and science is trying to make God complicated. Religion seems to see God as more simple, but I don't see why 'anti-science, religious people' wouldn't want to know how a great being is watching over everyone. I understand that they might think that if science can prove God exists then people might think science is above God, but science isn't a being, it's a method of understanding things. If something could give you answers about God wouldn't you want it? If someone could give you information that proved what you believe in is true wouldn't want it? From a friend or enemy? Anyways, I think it would be good to have people of all beliefs work together to solve our questions.
