15 December 2017 Faith and science unite Faith and science can be revered both as important ideas for daily life. Each have their own well respected literature and authors that people take into consideration every day. Most ideas are different, but some would say that science and faith can be intertwined. Faith is all about trust in the Lord while having that faith that He will provide everything we need. Science is theories and ideas that are tested to be either correct or incorrect about a specific topic. Usually, they are kept apart while not getting in each other 's way, but science and religion can actually answer each others questions that go unanswered about how human life was formed and the challenges

Science always begins with a question. Then follows a hypothesis for the question then a series of tests and experiments to one hundred percent answer that question with ration and real facts. Scientists always make sure things are completely correct. Scientists will spend months even years trying to figure out the correct answer to the particular question. If the answer they come across is not satisfactory of what they want, they may even continue to change some variables to make the answer what they want it to be. Instead of accepting it how it is. Faith and science are different on this idea. Science is proven while faith says we it is true but we never really know. Throughout history we 've come to know faith and science as their own different ideas. Both not intersecting with the other. Although a recent discovery by a catholic physicist Dominique Lambert says that they can work together to answer similar questions. Lambert said that only with faith is it possible to give complete intelligibility to science. He stated that “science is producing many questions—rational and coherent questions—which are beyond the scope of its own methods” (Lambert). This means that some of the questions they are raising cannot be answered by the scientific methods they use on a daily

Lambert once again had really good point to this- “The source of the existence is not solved by science because science presupposes this assumption, but rationally you need some explanation” (Lambert) Lambert also went on to conclude: “With the Christian faith you can shed some light on scientific findings. You can discover that many questions of a foundational value of meaning can receive some kind of intelligibility coming from this source of intelligibility. If you start from point of view of a believer, then you can get some coherent answer, with an increase in intelligibility” (Lambert).

In conclusion, faith and science can both function on their own without one another, but if each wants answers with explanations they have to work together. It has been said that they actually can work together by basically bring their heads together to work with on another to better understand the world we live
