Default Science vs. Faith flowchart

I thought this was actually funny.

It's cute.

I do find it interesting that people think that faith and science are exclusionary though. The man who proposed the Big Bang theory- Georges Lemaitre- was an ordained Catholic priest.

Well, I don't think faith and science are mutually exclusive. I also think parts of the Bible are allegory.

Gregor Mendel (Mendelian Genetics, anyone?) was a Catholic monk. His work was supported by the leaders of his monastery.

I think this says more for education than it does for religion. Those men were scholars.

And if I'm gonna meet a sane and rational christian, nine times out of ten it's gonna be a Catholic. Excepting lost-in-time old schoolers like Mel Gibson's dad, of course.

I don't understand why faith and science have to be mutually exclusive. If you're the kind of person who uses dogmatic truth as a guide for virtually every single facet of life, chances are the scientific community is better off without you. I admire people who can separate personal beliefs and scientific facts

Agree. Especially if they were educated by Jesuits.
