Why is there conflict (for some) between science and religion.
I believe that there is conflict because those that have strong religious beliefs simply can not come to terms with the theories of science and vice versa. Scientists are constantly searching for answers to their theories. There is simply too much that scientists still don't understand and scientists are constantly searching for answers to their theories. "However, scientists are troubled that general relativity and quantum theory do not mesh... Being at odds with one another they together do not provide us with either a grand unified theory or a theory of everything" (Lane 6). There is still much to be discovered with science while with religion, there are certain beliefs that aren't open for change. "For any endeavor to be justifiably regarded as "scientific" it must be willing to be corrected, to be changed, to be wrong" (lane 14). Due to the inability to accept change in religious beliefs, there will be conflict. For example, as Shermer states, "in a natural worldview, there is no non-natural or supernatural. There is only natural and mysteries left to explain through natural means."

We have the same belief when it comes to the conflict between science and religion, because both sides aren't willing see the other sides point of view and work together to get the answered. As Lane stated, scientist can't accept change, and to get the answers theyneed to accept change even if the answer to there theory is wrong, and the religious people don't want to believe that things happen for reasons other than device intervention, which means the conflict will continue.
