I remember back then when I was in high school, our teacher discussed the two different subjects that most people thought opposite from each other. Most likely in terms of giving factual information based on concrete shreds of evidence. And that science will always have a counter-proposition on every fact that the religion can give and can further explain it's manner of occurring. So in the middle of the discussion, our teacher asked us what would be our own views about the relationship between the two subjects, the science and the religion. As far as I remember, this was my answer:
Science is simply the fact and Religion will always serve as the proof for the existence of that fact.
And honestly, I don't know how did I come up with that answer. I just had something in my mind before, way beyond my understanding of existence and changes in life. There is always this energy present in every action that takes place. An energy that the science can explain in a way where a human being can digest easily and backed by the religion at the same time. By the way, I got the highest rating for that one simple answer.
The Bible as a Pile of Proofs
I can say that one of the best examples that can be considered as a solid proof that science and religion aren't different from one another is the concept of medication. But, there are many reasons why people think medical science is different from religion that is purely based on one's faith. However, there are other people who believe that when you trust both sciences of medication, that God will help you heal your illness. There would be a high possibility that you will recover from an acute to severe illnesses.
In the present time, events have already occurred many times that affect people's beliefs about science and religion. They have thought that the two are unified in the field of medication. These things are just bits of proof. Little they know, they have to know more from the past that is written before Christ, that could satisfy their belief about the huge amount of wisdom in the Bible.
Let me discuss this medical knowledge that is written in the Bible. This is some kind of a health tip that came from the book of Daniel. Daniel is a prophet and known to be as a strong believer of God. His strong faith in God made him even more famous for being thrown by King Nebuchadnezzar into a room full of lions and escaping without any single scratch. But do you know that Daniel made a proposal to the King? A medical statement that seeks to convince the King. He then successfully proven that for someone to have a healthier and stronger body, he/she must choose the vegetarian diet over meaty diet.
Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. At the end of the ten days, Daniel and some companion looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. Daniel 1:12-15
But it is fun to think that although Daniel has proven this way back 2000 years or more ago, still, experts in the present run tests after tests just to prove something factual and similar to the conclusion fabricated by Daniel. But it is also sad to know that those were all done at the expense of money, time and energy being wasted.
Faith as a Reinforcement
There's so much wisdom written in the Bible about medical knowledge that is way beyond our understanding as ordinary people. Some people may think they perceive some things differently than what others understand plainly. That is where the concept of conflict butts in. But here's another one - pieces of medical phrases that are easy to comprehend.
Honor the physician with the honor due him, according to your need of him, for the Lord created him; for healing comes from the Highest, and he will receive a gift from the king. Sirach 38: 1-2
From those statements alone, I can say that science as a whole is the extension of God's healing power and that doctors and experts behind medical expertise are considered to be present prophets. It's something to do with believing into an event to happen, faith to be exact. But let us not forget that people must also seek welfare from latter-day science and innovations were to be treated as basic changes in any field where science and religion are both in harmony.
There are scientific pages of the Bible and those are the blueprint for a healthy life that God has given to us.
