Universal peace through a balance of science and religious /cultural practices

Abstract

One of the major obstacles to peace in the world today is the conflict between religious and scientific consciouness. This article is designed to bring balance to the discussion by presenting a view of the creation of universe in which the roles of scientific discovery and religous belief can be harmonized. The author begins with the understanding of creation and the sequence of events in the universe from a scientific perspective. Areas of conflict between religious and cultural practices with science are next discussed. Inspiration and lessons are drawn from this knowledge of the universe for greater understanding of human life. The author concludes by recommending the further exploration of outer space, and the need for unity and peaceful coexistence on our planet.
