Should Science And Religion Relate?
The world is full of experiences that when discovered, both scientist and theologian alike they are in complete awe of what has been found. The mysteries about nature that are revealed to scientists are breathtaking and should be shared in the scientific method of inquiry, based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning . The theologians with their equally amazing discoveries of the spirit and of the soul should remember that a belief is optional and it is wrong to try to coerce God into the world, but remember the choice to believe in God should always be free.
There are theologians who agree to the idea that religion is opposed to science, but there are scientists who assert that science leaves no room for religion, hence, the conflict model. In this model science and religion are seen as incompatible. They are different views of the universe and they come to irreconcilably different views. If one is right then the other is wrong. These two entities present competing claims about the same thing. This model is used by the extreme fanatics from both sides. In contrast to the conflict model, is the independent model, which appeals to many scientists and theologians because it gives them the freedom to believe and think what they like in their respective fields without having to relate to one another.
In general, science is a sense experience [any of the faculties by which a person obtains information about the physical world by being exposed to events over a period of time that leads to an increase in knowledge or skill], after it has been through fact process and documented it becomes a coerced reality [an refutable actual being or existence, as opposed to an imaginary, idealized, or false nature].

Background on Constitution Day
In late 2004, Senator Robert Byrd, one of the United States Senate’s leading Constitutional scholars, introduced legislation that President George W. Bush signed into law on December 8, 2004 requiring that all schools, colleges and Federal agencies receiving Federal funds offer annual educational programming involving the Constitution of the United States on or around Constitution Day, September 17th.
“Walking in the Founding Fathers’ footsteps with The Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia is a great way to commemorate Constitution Day. Along the tour, visitors see many important sites related to the U.S. Constitution including The First Bank of the United States which sparked the first great Constitutional debate between strict and loose constructionalists,” stated Jonathan Bari, Chairman of The Constitutional Walking Tour. “Whether you want to visit Historic Philadelphia in person, or take a “virtual field trip,” we can assist in integrating The Constitutional’s educational programming into your Constitution Day curriculum.”
