Where Science Meets Faith by ~elhalfling:iconelhalfling:





Welcome to the place where Science meets Faith
Two opposite worlds collide, people say
Some believe in one, yet others in both
Still a few choose to follow none at all.

Science is fact, as the experts agree
Carefully examining evidence
Comparing it to what they know as Truth
Some don’t realise Truth isn’t as it seems.

Religion is myth, some people claim
They don’t believe in the essence of life
Look at the Bible; tell me what it says
About life and what happens after death.

Soldiers on both sides prepare for battle
That may decide the future of the war
It’s about Science versus Religion
And who will win the alleged debate.

Words fly back and forth between the experts
No one will agree with anyone else.
These questions plague all of humanity
Yet nobody seems to have the answers.

A man walks into the excited room
Fighting stops and all turn to look at him.
He is a rare specimen, a half-breed
Who believes in both Science and Faith.

He speaks and the experts choose to listen
The half-breed commands their attention
The entire room is almost silent
Nobody chooses to fight anymore.

As faithful as a black-robed preacher, yet
A brilliant scientific expert
He appeals to both sides of the debate
Saying Science and Faith can co-exist.

The experts like him, but this baffles them
How can Science and Faith reconcile?
Their differences drive them further apart
With each passing day people don’t believe.

Some choose to keep them very separate
Others believe in one of the two.
A few peculiar folks decide that
The differences can be reconciled.

Welcome to the place where Science meets Faith
And two extremely different worlds collide
Which are you? What will you choose to believe?
That choice is completely yours to make.

Whatever you choose, remember that you
Should really commit to what you decide
If you please, I’d like to invite you to
The wonderful place where Science meets Faith.

Author's Comments

This is a poem I wrote after resuming my reading in Lee Strobel's Case for a Creator and how many people think that Science and Faith cannot intertwine with one another. I disagree with this perspective, and I hope it's obvious from what I've written.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I had fun writing it late last night. :)

I love this! It remind me of this chapel at school that Doc spoke at.


I agree with your view(s) and such. I'm adding this to my favourites! :)

Yeah, that was where I got part of the idea. I was going to show it to him, but it would probably be better to wait until after chemistry class is over. My favourite part was the whole black-robed preacher/white coated scientist being the same person and in the same entity.

In the original draft, I didn't capitalise any of my nouns, but then artistic liscence told me that it would help emphasize them. :)

Is just to love and be loved in return.

Think. It might help. Seriously.

Welcome to my world. Enjoy your stay.~
