 Religion and Science Must Work Together
 
 
God has given us the power of thinking so that we may be different from the animals.
Because man can use his mind , he has been able to progress down the ages, and lives
very differently today than he used to thousands of years ago. New discoveries and invention have made it possible for people to live in better homes and to fight against disease  and  ignorance. But material progress is of little use to use if we do not progress spiritually
 also, God  has  given us religion  to  help  us  along our spiritual progress. Science
without religion can do a lot of harm, but religion without science can also
cause trouble. For the real progress of the human race, both are
necessary together. Science and religion must
go hand in hand.
,
science provides us with the tools and religion tells us how to use them. An axe or a sickle
is a very useful thing if we use it correctly. But if a murderer  gets hold  of an axe or a  sickle,
that same useful tool becomes a dangerous weapon. The trouble with the world today is that
science has provided tools for  people  who  use  them  as  weapons because they  have  no
religion to teach them how to make the best use of these tools. On the other hand, if we
forsake science and stop using our mind and reason altogether, religion will
become nothing but ignorance and superstition, and therefore
harmful to the people of the world.
