Journal #10

Science and religion are very controversial topics, and are the cause of many arguments. Some people believe that everything can be solved and explained by science, but many other people believe that religion is the answer to anything, no matter what. The main religion that is in the argument with Scientology is any form of Christianity. The people that practice Scientology believe that everything can be explained by science and if it can not, it must not be true. Many Christians argue against this using the things that have been written in the Bible, but since Scientologists do not believe in the Bible, this argument has no affect on them. It would be much more effective to show Scientologists situations where people have been miraculously healed from being close to death, and the doctors have absolutely no explanation for it. Scientologists would look and look for a possible explanation and solution, but it seems that there is not one to be found. Many Scientologists would argue that the Creation of the world by a God is not true either, because they could say that the Big Bang is a true theory and that it would scientifically explain anything happening. Many different things are involved in this argument, and many people are also involved. A lot of people that are Christian or Scientologists are involved in this debate, and there is a good chance that many of them just want to argue. Many people are very stubborn and need to have people believe in their point of view, so they will argue until either the other person believes them, or until the other person at least gives up. It will be hard for many people to let go of this argument, and this argument is not looking like it will be ended or forgotten for quite a long period of time. Nowhere in the near future will this discussion be let go, and people may eventually bring their children into this argument, which is highly unnecessary.

  1. This was an interesting blog because of your opinionated views. I liked your sentence structure and writing style. Also, you used a lot of outside information, which was nice even though it was not specific.
