What does religion have to do with science?

This was one of the most interesting dinner conversations I’ve been able to attend. I would say I am somewhere between an atheist and an agnostic. The former because I have never been a religious person, I find it hard to believe that some being has control over everything in life. The latter because there are so many people that are religious so how do I know that I’m not wrong and that some being does exist. I have never mixed the two. Being able to hear from Catherine who is a physics professor and also religious and have her faith not be a contradiction of her field was a strange idea to wrap my head around. I felt like I didn’t have much to contribute to the conversation simply because I know nothing about religion or Christianity. Andy Crouch said that many of the great mysteries have been solved and although I don’t really understand the intricacies, I find it fascinating that science can strengthen someone’s faith. Instead of having science disprove religion and the Bible, I learned that science can actually support it, which is a new perspective for me.
