Advertisements
Solution
For (view):
Both science and spirituality study aspects of our world. Both require mental discipline. Both require belief in certain axioms and truths. Hence both are valid. Science is the body. Spirituality is the mind. Science explores the creations of God. Spirituality delves into the nature of God. Both are two sides of the same coin. Both complement each other. It is inevitable therefore that science and spirituality go hand in hand.
Against (counterview):
Science requires factual knowledge. It is a component of millions of physical laws. Spirituality is a free bird that soars on the wings of personal belief. It does not require proof. Only faith. How then can they be considered to be on the same plane? One is concrete; the other abstract. In order to draw upon spirituality, one may conjure up an image in the mind and be satisfied. Science seeks explanation only in logical reasoning based upon unlimited past experiences and developed into truth by considering an experiment after experiment two are completely different in nature and cannot go hand in hand.
