Ask the silliest wiccan, who believs in fairy charms and love spells..whether or not christian magic is real and works. LOLNO.
Ask the most devout and earnest christian, who deeply believes in vicarious redemption..if wiccan fairy charms and love spells work. LOLNO.
But the question isn't whether or not science and religion are the same thing or whether they agree or disagree with each other. The question is whether or not they can co-exist in a society.
I believe they can. I'm a theist and a physics major. I have no problem being both a religious person and scientist.
