Science

A system by which the Universe is better understood by the use of observations, experimentation, theories, and peer-review by fellow scientists. Often misconstrued to be the opposite, even anathema to religion, despite the fact that: 1. Much of modern science has been established by people of faith. 2. Many religious texts do not explicitly mention themes proven by science (i.e. evolution, microbiology, etc.) due to the simple fact that such things have not been discovered yet back then. Science merely fills in the gaps that isn't religion's purpose to fill in the first place. 3. A logical response to believing in a supreme creator or creators would be for the curious to 'want' to learn more about what has been created in the first place. 4. Despite public misconceptions, the Catholic Church have been known for providing a nurturing ground for what will become known as modern science in the west, even allowing the dissection of human corpses to advance knowledge of the human anatomy which is something the Greeks and Romans would have not allowed. 5. Logically speaking, a supreme being who would give people their particular brand of intelligence and a natural curiosity of the outside world would expect them to make use of them.
