I think that it's about time that the debate between science and religion comes to an end. It almost seems as if both sides of the debate are getting a sick thrill out of the drama and division. I will not attempt to prove one or disprove the other, but I will show how the two entities need, and thrive off of each other.
Somewhere in the annals of human history, someone decided to create a fictitious debate between evolution and creation. I call this debate fictitious because there are no records of such a debate prior to the publication of Charles Darwin's book The Origin of Species. There are no Ancient Egyptian artifacts that highlight such a debate. The Early empires of the world were not involved in a creation-evolution debate either. In fact, the debate was over who or what the gods and goddesses were, not whether or not they existed. Creation was a common belief of the earth's inhabitants for thousands of years. The evolutionists may argue this point of view by stating that humanity is millions of years old, and there are no records of a religion or a belief in deity among the earliest humans. That may very well be the case, and I believe it to be, but history and evolution has shown that societies survive as long as they believe in a deity, and they die off when they don't.
Many people brag about how Europe has a growing number of atheists, but they also have to admit that the European economies and civilizations are falling apart as well. I am not one to call America a "Christian" nation, because I think that it's greatly hypocritical to call yourselves "Christian" while holding the world's largest supply of nuclear weapons. I also take issue with Islamic, Buddhist, and any other type of religious nation as well. The point of this article isn't to convert you to any religion, but to simply point out that the belief in a deity sets moral boundaries, and these boundaries are needed to survive as a people. You're more than welcome to argue that humanity needs to grow up and learn to behave without the fear of a god, but the truth is that we're not able to. I wrote an article on how humanity is evil and selfish by nature, and that none of us can claim righteousness. The violence that we blame on religion or secularism is nothing more than the manifestations of humanities inner darkness. We cannot be trusted.
The real debate isn't about the existence of a god, or creation versus evolution, or secularism versus religion. The debate is over whether or not we are able to govern ourselves as human beings or not. Unfortunately for us, history has proven that humans cannot be trusted with anything other than self-annihilation.
