The Scopes Trial ~ My Argument

Actually, even though I am quite religious, I actually favor the teachings of science. On the other hand, I truly believe that our schools should choose to teach both religion and science (evolution), because religion, in my opinion, actually gives us humans something to believe in other than simple facts. In my religion, we believe that there is a higher being in our lives with unimaginable strength and wisdom. Yes, some may disagree and it is somewhat difficult to wrap one's mind around the concept, but this belief gives us hope and the strength to push on in the most hardest times in life. Religion also helps us comprehend many of the uncomprehandable things that occur in this world, like "impossible" surgeries or getting out of accidents involving a truck alive. Though, science actually provides facts and logical proof of many of the natural things that occur around us, like the growth of a tree to the change in molecules. It helps us understand what happens in our daily problems, like sickness or how to get something working. It also helps understand how our planet came to be, from a simple speck of dust to a large rotating ball of prosperous life. Science is actually essential to one's understanding of reality , so without science, a single individual would lose track of reality. It all coincides with each other at some point, so I couldn't actually say that I do not favor religious teachings as well.
