Chapter 18: The Big Picture

We are responsible, in a sense, to figure out for ourselves the answer to truth behind the existence of the universe. No matter if one is religious or not, it is a point of vital importance, it seems, for us to discover the exact events that led us to come into existence. The problem with religion is that it has no proof other than heresay. Heresay, in a court of law, is irrelevant and therefore not allowed as actual fact. I'm not saying that the Bible is heresay - I am merely allowing for the fact that for a religion to be correct and whole, we need a way to logically understand it. Science, no matter if you are religious or not, is the only method that we, as humans, can discover the meaning behind everything. Much like how Wilson was not a believer of one theory but of another, he still put forth his time and effort to discover the truth. Maybe religion needs to learn that the task before us in science is one of intergration not segregation.
