I was looking over Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett's comments on religion and science, and they kept bringing up the question of if one should believe faith or science? What do you believe in: something that you have a feeling but have no proof, or do you believe in science which may have hard proof but there is no deep feeling (that feeling of faith)?

one of my favorite sayings is "science only goes so far, then comes god." i am a chem major so obviously i would love to say that science explains everything...but i can't. there are somethings in this world that i truly don't believe can be explained.

In my opinion it doesn't have to be one or the other. They don't always have to contradict each other, they can work together to explain the world. Science helps to explain some things that are lacking in religion as God helps to explain a lot of questions that are unanswered in science. I wish people wouldn't always think of things in black and white, science vs. God. We live in a world of grays, and that's the best we can do.
