Flipped #1 How can the conflict between religion and science bepartially resolved by developing a better and richer understanding ofthe word "matter"?



Scientifically our brain is a form of matter, with many neurological pathways that transfer information though our body signaling many simultaneous reactions. It might seems as if we are like computers, just processing information. The difference between us and computers are the needs and desires we have for companionship. The need for each person to be with others and socialize is so important that when it is difficult for a person to be mobile and are not able to step out into society for interactions with others their health both mental and physical begin to deteriorate. These can be companioned by feelings of loneliness and lead to feelings of worthlessness.

Feelings of worthlessness come from deep within us. But where exactly is deep within us? Some call it a conscious that partakes in our actions, others refer to it as a soul. The soul has been associated with spirituality and religion. Religion teaches that the soul lives forever, unlike the body that dies. The continuum of the soul, which cannot be explained, could very well be the source of our conscious and the bases of our moral grounds.
