My purpose in presenting this material is to help you, the reader, examine the plethora of information available in this technological age to discover the true nature of the universe and whether or not God is behind the Big Bang and evolution or whether these theories are valid at all. In demonstrating why science and religion can live in harmony, I also will demonstrate why religions of all kinds can coexist, as well. I hope to provide you with sufficient information for your examination of evolution, creationism, and world religions which have revolutionized the aforementioned fields and more. My aim is not to present an impeccable case for one side of these monumental debates, but to allow you to scrutinize each and arrive at a comfortable conclusion or probable conclusion. Though I would like to be absolutely conclusive on each side, no archive can present each case exhaustively and that is why this site is merely a window into fascinating fields of study. I hope to be of some help, whether it be by providing interesting facts or introducing new topics of discussion, and I encourage you to look over my selected books and websites that I believe will also assist you in your journey for what hopefully is the truth. Science and religion need not be mutually exclusive; perhaps the truth lies between what evidence each side has to offer.
In order for this website to serve its full purpose, please examine each page, starting with Atheism, and work down until you reach the Coexist section. By the time you have been given an overview of all the crucial points of science and religion, I will attempt to display how all people of all religions can coexist with each other. In this harmony people can understand each other instead of debate, accept and not merely tolerate each other, and respect one another instead of proclaiming that only they have the truth, whether it be science, religion, or a combination of both. In conclusion, this site is aimed at teaching others a bit about what everyone around them believes and how to accept and love one another, which is the most important point of nearly every religion, for what good is debating when nearly everyone debating never considers the opposing view? It's important to note that sections of this site do revolve around debates when necessary, as people obviously cannot believe both in God and not in God. This is why I will present and debate when necessary and offer a probably conclusion for the reader to consider, whether it concerns creationism, evolution, or world religions. On the other hand, it is not impossible for people to both disagree and coexist; it's just a road seldom taken.

ON SCIENCE "Man with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system- with all these exalted powers - Man still bears in his bodily frame, the indelible stamp of his lowly origin." |
ON RELIGION "Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." |

"We admit that we are like apes, but we seldom realise that we are apes. Our common ancestor with the chimpanzees and gorillas is much more recent than their common ancestor with the Asian apes, the gibbons and orangutans. There is no natural category that includes chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans but excludes humans." |
"To be ignorant and simple now, not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground, would be to throw down our weapons and betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered." |

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest . . . a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." |
"The idea that the service to God should have only to do with a church altar, singing, reading, sacrifice, and the like is without doubt but the worst trick of the devil. How could the devil have led us more effectively astray than by the narrow conception that service to God takes place only in a church and by the works done therein...The whole world could abound with the services to the Lord, Gottesdienste - not only in churches but also in the home, kitchen, workshop, field." |
