I’ve often wondered why there is such a strong split between people who believe in science and people who believe in religion. Certainly, there are many people who believe in both, or neither, but I think the vast majority of people believe in one or the other. Then, I finally realized one possible source of the split: for people who don’t understand science, what sources do they have for spiritual enlightenment, other than religion? Perhaps the reason why so many non-scientists cling so tightly to their religion (even in the face of conflicting scientific evidence) is because they have nowhere else to turn.
