There is a great divide in our modern world. The common notion is that faith and spirituality have absolutely no relation to science and fact. This wasn’t always the case, however, as science and spirituality were once taught as the same subject. While advances in modern science and medicine shouldn’t be discounted, empirical science can only explain a portion of our existence in this universe. There are so many questions that neither science nor faith alone can answer that it becomes clear that a synthesis of these two disciplines is needed to gain a true understanding of the universe.
