Question #1 Why was Socrates sentenced to death?
Socrates was sentenced to death by forced suicide with hemlock. He was accused by Melitus of corrupting youth, and not believing in the gods.

He believed that this angered them into falsely accusing him out of what could be jealousy. He also says that although he doesn't believe in the same gods, he acknowledges the by lowrate"> existence
of them, and that should prove Melitus wrong. Despite his calm attempt to prove his innocence, he is deemed guilty and sentenced to death. He accepts this as it is the law and refuses to escape because he believed it would be hypocritical to what he taught.
Question #2Why is there a conflict between science and religion?
For many religious people, science conflicts with their beliefs. One concern for believers is saying we are just made of matter, but matter is not just matter. The problem is that most don’t understand, what matter is, and that it isn’t simple at all.

Matter is complex rather than flat and simple. Matter isn’t just one thing, it’s many small thing that together can make something as simple as a rock, or as complex as a human being.

Many reject materialism, because humans want to believe there’s more, and that they are more important, without realizing the mysteriousness of matter, and that matter itself is just as complicated as spiritualism.
