COMMENTARY

Science brings religious beliefs into question

Being Catholic is something I take pride in and will always love, but after taking time to think about faith and science, I've come to realize some concepts in my religion clash with reality. Around MSU’s campus, I have seen several different churches like Islam, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Catholic, Christian and others. Some religions have similar beliefs and some have totally different ones. How is a person to know which religion to believe in, or if religious beliefs are even real? As I've learned more about science and history, many of the ideals don't seem possible. But does that diminish the value of religion?
