Ever since Science became my specialization, I came to
realize that all things are only factual when proved scientifically. I came to
realize that all living beings are made up of cells and that living things
possess traits that would let us know that they really are living organisms.
I've been more mature with my thoughts and I practically do not believe in all
superstitions anymore. They're not scientifically proven. For example, they say
that one must not pass by a street when he came across with a black cat. It's
bad luck they say. But, I say, what's the connection between the two? Is it
scientifically proven? Yeah. I'm like that on various things already.
Sometimes, I'm already annoyed to myself because of that.
I'm also a devout Catholic. I believe in God, the Father
Almighty. I believe in Jesus Christ and all His teachings. I was brought up
going to Church on Sundays, believing all which is to be believed, following
the commandments of the Church, and siding with the Church always. I celebrate
all the Catholic Holidays like Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, and Lent. I read
the Bible and try to apply as much as possible all the things I've read. I sin,
and I'm sorry for them. I receive Christ's body in the form of the bread every
Sunday. I participate in Church activities such as procession and rosaries. I
love God with all my heart and soul. I haven't seen Him yet, but, someday, I
will.
Now the problem is, what if two of these beliefs of mine
collide? Would they clash at each other? Or would they merge into one? I do not
know what would happen. Sometimes, things come to my mind, like what if
religion is to be scientifically proven? How will it be like? I would instantly
erase that from my mind and think of something else. Reality speaking, I don't
want to ever think about it.
I know the Creation of the World found in Genesis is only a
theory. The Bible says it so. I do not know the stand of the Church regarding
this, but personally, I have doubts regarding its reality. The evolution is
also a theory which is very heavy and very close to fact due to its many
studies and findings. I personally believe in the theory on evolution. Does
this belief let me be excommunicated? I do not know. I've read that the
Church's stand on Evolution is not quite clear yet because as I've read, two of
them are two different aspects.
Also, if God created the moon, the stars and the sun in one
day, how would Faith explain the existence universe and its components (the
nebula, the other planets, other galaxies)? It would be so selfish to say that
we are the only living beings in the universe.
How would Science explain the many apparitions of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. I personally believe in the many apparitions of Mary. It's
very extraordinary and one of the many reasons why I became Catholic. Science
would be so hard up explaining about it.
There are so many things still bugging my mind regarding the
two aspects of my life. I don't meddle with them as much as possible and
continue with my life as it is. I will continue believing that God created
everything though I know for a fact that Evolution existed. What we see now are
products of earlier evolution. It would be denying myself, but, what can I do?
I can't be an atheist. I believe in God.
"Science without religion is lame. Religion without
science is blind."
-Albert Einstein
I do not know how truthful this quote is by Einstein, but I
personally believe in that saying. They go on together. They merge together.
They shape our tomorrow. While both of them have mysteries yet to
be unraveled in the future, I am sure that everything will be perfect.
And ohh, atheists and scientists would be asking to me the
question I'm asking to some people who do superstitious beliefs, I would say
this line from the Bible:
Jesus said to him,"Because you have seen me, you
have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed."
- John 20:29
(I don't really know where to stand, do I?)
