If you refer back to the first few posts on my blog, you will recall the main reason as to why I created this website: for the study of Humanity. To officially begin my quest through the broad realm of humanity, I must define two very important terms, which will help me throughout my search for reason. Those two words are: Science and Religion.
In accordance with the 1971 Oxford University Press Compact Edition of the English Dictionary, the term, "science" is defined as:
"Science: the state or fact of knowing; knowledge or cognizance of something specified or implied; also, with wider reference, knowledge, as a personal attribute."
In accordance with the 1971 Oxford University Press Compact Edition of the English Dictionary (the same dictionary from above) the term, "religion" is defined as:
"Religion: a state of life bound by monastic vows; the condition of one who is a member of a religious order; a particular system of faith (belief) and worship."
The reason as to why I decided to define these words was for the production of my thesis; I will attempt to combine (contrast) the beliefs held by those, who look toward religion, with those, who believe in the findings of science. Basically, I will try to build a bridge that connects the scientific world with the religious world. Using my analysis and my "data," I will attempt to paint a picture of how humans truly see themselves in the universe that they inhabit.
"So are we creatures contained inside of a vastly expansive universe?"
"or is this perceivably expansive universe trapped inside of us?"
