religion science?

I just got done talking to my ex-church and I was really unprepared so I was in the middle of playing a video game when they showed up and I studdered a lot. lol I talked to a youth pastor wich confronted me with a lot of questions he asked things like what holds an atom together and about the complexity of the world I know sorta what holds an atom together I know it has to do with strong forces wich attract and pull themselves together but im sort of an ametuer when it comes to a lot of things in science. Im having trouble with understanding how the world formed naturaly and it seems so perfect. Well with my free-thunking mind ive started to wonder what is the evidence of evolution and the big bang and I mean I dont understand a lot of it. I truly dont believe in God or the bible. Dont come to me and say the world is to complex so there must be a God and dont come to me and say the bible or your faith is proof of God. I want science. Ive been lyed to far too much tonight.

The world IS very complex. That is why a simplistic answer you could get from a “youth pastor” is very unlikely to be right. Such answers don;t do anything to answer the original question, they only make the people who believe them feel like they have a solid answer. If an incorrect answer with a cloak of ultimate Truth is good enough, then by all means go with myths. But if you want reasoned answers to some of the questions, and hope of finding out the ones that are unknown, stick with learning about ideas that have gone through being published in a peer reviewed journal.

The Internet has many resources to learn about the things you mentioned. I would suggest sticking to websites with a “.edu” address, at least at first. If you want to see some of the debate about origins involving science and religion, http://www.talkorigins.org/ is a good place to start.

Atoms and Alchemy $30 Since the Enlightenment, alchemy has been viewed as a sort of antiscience, disparaged by many historians as a form of lunacy that impeded the development of rational chemistry. But in Atoms and Alchemy, William R. Newman—a historian widely credited for reviving recent interest in alchemy—exposes the speciousness of these views and challenges widely held beliefs about the origins of the Scientific Revolution.  Tracing the alchemical roots of Robert Boyle’s famous mechanical philosophy, Newman shows that alchemy contributed to the mechanization of nature, a movement that lay at the very heart of scientific discovery. Boyle and his predecessors—figures like the mysterious medieval Geber or the Lutheran professor Daniel Sennert—provided convincing experimental proof that matter is made up of enduring particles at the microlevel. At the same time, Newman argues that alchemists created the operational criterion of an “atomic” element as the last point of analysis, thereby contributing a key feature to the development of later chemistry.  Atoms and Alchemy thus provokes a refreshing debate about the origins of modern science and will be welcomed—and deliberated—by all who are interested in the development of scientific theory and practice.

Atoms and Eden $15.95 Here is an unprecedented collection of twenty freewheeling and revealing interviews with major players in the ongoing–and increasingly heated–debate about the relationship between religion and science. These lively conversations cover the most important and interesting topics imaginable: the Big Bang, the origins of life, the nature of consciousness, the foundations of religion, the meaning of God, and much more. In Atoms and Eden, Peabody Award-winning journalist Steve Paulson explores these topics with some of the most prominent public intellectuals of our time, including Richard Dawkins, Karen Armstrong, E. O. Wilson, Sam Harris, Elaine Pagels, Francis Collins, Daniel Dennett, Jane Goodall, Paul Davies, and Steven Weinberg. The interviewees include Christians, Buddhists, Jews, and Muslims, as well as agnostics, atheists, and other scholars who hold perspectives that are hard to categorize. Paulson's interviews sweep across a broad range of scientific disciplines–evolutionary biology, quantum physics, cosmology, and neuroscience–and also explore key issues in theology, religious history, and what William James called ''the varieties of religious experience.'' Collectively, these engaging dialogues cover the major issues that have often pitted science against religion–from the origins of the universe to debates about God, Darwin, the nature of reality, and the limits of human reason. These are complex, intellectually rich discussions, presented in an accessible and engaging manner. Most of these interviews were originally published as individual cover stories for Salon.com, where they generated a huge reader response. Public Radio's "To the Best of Our Knowledge" will present a major companion series on related topics this fall. A feast of ideas and competing perspectives, this volume will appeal to scientists, spiritual seekers, and the intellectually curious.
