Where Science Meets Religion```

Science cannot meet "religion". There's a barrier. Science is unable to cross and neither is "religion".
And the reason -- because neither one wants to really know the truth about "God".

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
God has given us a world to use, explore, and understand. At the deepest level there is no difference between religion and science. Natural sciences like physics might be better called "experimental theology" because it deals with application of God's laws in the physical universe.

My understanding and belief is that God "obeys" the laws of "nature" -- that is why God is real. Nature's laws are the laws of reality.
The real God "obeys" them because the real God is real.

Our maker and Father in heaven is the Great Architect of the Universe. He made all physical laws which govern us, His creation. I see no difference between science and religion. Science and mathematics is our ability to define Our Father's creation in ways we can relate with it either physically or intellectually.

Science is the religion of the future, with the top minds taking the places of high priests and bishops and such. It is going to form its own little sects and groups of different ideals and beliefs all backed by some sort of data that we may or may not understand. So you are right science cannot meet religion but it is going to take its place, until we have another shift in intellectual intelligence.

God is not the architect of the universe. The universe is eternal. There is no creator of the universe. God didn't make physical laws. However, God made it possible to be aware of the physical laws.
Would anything exist if there was nothing to be aware of it?
God is the Essence of Consciousness.
God exists within physical laws but They didn't create those laws. Those laws have existed eternally.
There is no creator of things that are eternal because they have no beginning.

The law of the conservation of mass and energy: mass and energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Mass and energy are eternal.
The universe is eternal. It has no beginning.
My 1st Law of Religion/Science: God did not create the universe because the universe is eternal.

Look around yourself. You will see things everywhere. This is not eternal. It has a beginning. Our Father in heaven made all that is. What you describe as the attribute of the universe is the manifestation of God Himself. It is He, the LORD, and His handiwork which you adore, even without knowing it! Praise be to our great maker who reveals Himself through His works!!

I totally agree. The idea that God in His infinate self and power can be comprehended by mortals is an idea which I think tends to place a limit on the diety. GOD is much greater and fuller than any idea which can fit in our head!

You are an example of why the "religion" side of the barrier is unable to meet the science side.

Scientist will say science has a reason for everything. Religious people say god made a reason for everything. Science can try to come up with scientific explanations about everything. Religious people can just call it the magical power of God. The ongoing battle will never end.

I do not see there being sides at opposition with each other. Instead there is one God and one reality which we all share together. The scientist (or theoretical theologian) helps us to better understand Our Father in heaven. There is no reason we should have any animosity toward one another. Lets all get along and love one another because God loves us all!
Many of our greatest scientists held these same views!

A tree has a beginning. The earth has a beginning.
Mass/energy that makes up trees and earth doesn't have a beginning. It is eternal. It cannot be created or destroyed.
Mass/energy is not God although God is made up of mass/energy just like the tree and earth.

God is that form of mass/energy that makes it possible to perceive other forms mass/energy.

That is a very Neo-Platonic and Hermetic approach to religion. The idea in the Hermetica is that GOD willed Himself into existence as everything there is, as the universe itself. Our Father is LIFE within all that you see!
I use this quote as a foundation for defining the Neo-Platonic philosophy when I give lectures...

God is not all things.
Would you tell someone, "go pray to that rock"? Or "go pray to that dog poop"?
God is the physical form of the Essence of Consciousness.
That is where all real answers to prayers comes from.

Those are the works of Satan. Although I have to somewhat like Donald Trump. He's admitting that what the Occupy Wall Streeters were saying is true.
