Thoughts on Religion

"Thoughts on Religion" by George John Romanes is a philosophical piece that looks closely at science and religion and how they interact. It questions how new discoveries in science have changed what people believe about religion throughout history. Romanes, who was a well-known scientist, tackles meaningful questions about God and the nature of religious belief. The story begins by talking about how science and religion either fight or work together. It starts by explaining how religion used to be the main way people understood the world and how this has changed as science has grown.. Science presented difficulties to traditional religious ideas, especially concerning how nature was designed. The narrative explores the effect of science on both science and religion, stressing the search for the underlying reasons for occurrences, be they natural or divine.
