So many people are told that the findings of science are completely at odds with the teachings of religion, faith, and spirituality. I will not delve into discussion of this type of thinking here, but I will point out that this path is not the only one followed by the devout. The Roman Catholic Church and most of the Protestant sects of Christianity do not find conflict with the findings of science, including biological evolution. That may sound harsh to some. Humans are inherently curious creatures.
Science is a human endeavor to understand how nature works.
Observational evidence lies at its foundation. Scientific knowledge is never perfect or absolute and never will be. Science can only hope to produce ever-improved explanations for nature's workings. That is, science seeks to discover and understand nature's laws and use them to understand and predict how nature works in general. However imperfect our present understanding of nature, the methods of science have led us to a better understanding of our universe than we had 100 or 1000 years ago.
