Most people believe that religion and science are fundamentally opposed. Religion is based off of faith and science uses truth and facts. Logically, these are in conflict. This is not so. To begin with, the Bible claims that God is orderly and that His universe is also organized. This allows science to form. If a group of humans were to believe that the universe might be different from day to day, then science would be pointless because one second gravity is in effect and the next second it is not. Teaching of and orderly universe, Christianity permits experiments to be repeated with the same results thousands of times. Because of this fact that the sciences started with aid from Christian teachings, priests and other religious men can partake in these sciences. Geology was dominated by Jesuits. Atomic sciences and Egyptology were essentially founded by priests. Kepler was a close friend to Jesuits, who enjoyed discussing astronomy with him. Many more examples of churchmen in the sciences exist. Although it would seen as if the church and science are fundamentally opposed, that is not the case.
