Purposes for this article
o Why do you want to highlight this specific article?
o Especially today, people love to bash on faithful saints that choose to believe. They say
that their ideas are illogical and don’t make sense. This isn’t true, and many
voices/scientists in the church have said so.
o What makes you passionate about the source publication’s treatment of the topic?
o My Dad is a scientist, and I’ve experienced a lot of this “religion hate” myself, so I’m
passionate about putting a stop to it and proving that I can think logically and believe in a
God at the same time.
o Why is this article relevant to young adults today? How does it address current questions, issues,
and religious conversation?
o This is often one of the biggest topics that turn youth/YA away from the church.

[Highlights of the source article] (approximately 250 words; include a link to the
article in the first couple of paragraphs)
Award-winning chemist Henry Eyring once said, “Some have asked me ‘Is there any
conflict between science and religion?’ There is no conflict in the mind of God, but often
there is conflict in the minds of men.”

Science and religion have always seemed to be at odds with each other, however,
according to Eyring and others, it doesn’t have to be that way. Eyring states that “through
the eternities, we are going to get closer and closer to understanding the mind of God,
then the conflicts will disappear.”

In an interview with the Mormon Channel, NASA rocket scientist David Oh echoed
Eyring’s thoughts. He said “I find that science strengthens my faith; it doesn’t weaken it.
God is all around us, and faith and science are really two sides of the same coin, which is
to search for truth.”

Several times in the scriptures we are promised that if we will show our faith, we will see
the truth. In Alma chapter 32 we learn that faith is necessary for our own personal
growth.

Asking questions is absolutely essential for our learning, growing, and understanding of
the world around us. According to Oh, “Science teaches you to think critically and also
not to be afraid of questions.” Questions are essential for improvement. Improvement is
essential for a happy, successful existence. Our physical bodies and our spiritual selves
are not separable, just like science and religion: one helps us to understand the other, and
vice versa.

Read Henry Eyring’s works in his book titled “Faith of a Scientist,” and in
“Mormon Scientist.”
