Science. Religion.

For many people, the two are like oil and water. They don’t mix.

But is it necessary to make a choice between following religion or science? Does having faith in an all-powerful Creator mean rejecting science?

Each Tuesday evening in May, representatives of Reinhardt University, Heritage Baptist Fellowship and Faith Presbyterian Church are inviting the public to join them in exploring the relationships of modern science and religion.

The discussions, made possible by a grant from the Templeton Foundation Science and Ministry Initiative, will include professionals from both fields. The presentations will reflect on what both science and Scripture have to say about the origin of the world, the development of human life, varieties of religious experience, human sexuality and questions of life and death.

It’s an awesome opportunity for Cherokee County residents to hear from the experts and ask a few questions of their own.For more information on the series, see the April edition of The Cherokee Vine at http://www.thedailyvine.com/uploads/2012/03/2012_April.pdf and visit www.ScienceAndFaithCherokee.org.
