The rope was cut loose, and the huge blade started to fall. It glistened in the sun as it traveled through its track, cutting the air beneath it as if in slow motion. Then, it found its mark and it was all over. Blood sprayed in torrents, and horrified screams along with petrified gasps were let out from the crowd. The cleaved head rolled down from the plat form, down from its body. This head was the head of a man who dared say word against the church, words that disapproved religion and relished in science. But must religion and science always be enemies? It has been known that science and religion, especially when placed in the same sentence, are two very controversial ideas when dealing with one another.

Science and Religion are portrayed to be in harmon...Too many aspects and controversies surround them.

1.Many scientists today have extremeley strong faith and find that their belief is actually strengthened by their knowledge rather than lessened in any way. Alfred Wallace himself is as well known for his spiritualism as for his work on the origin of the species and insects.
2. Many people with no faith whatsoever donot wonder how a window is made.
3. There are branches of science devoted entirely to investigation of the supernatural.
4. Physical things. Faith in phsyical things themselves has been questioned by philosophers.
Well done though. It got me considering the question
