Science and Religion

This Sunday, May 25th, we will listen to a recorded service by Reverend J Sylvan called ‘Science and Religion’. This service occurred at the Salt Lake City First Unitarian church on March 23, 2025.

Science and religion should not be at war. Treating science and religion as though they are two competing systems doesn’t help anyone.

Unitarian Universalists affirm the search for both truth and meaning. If we are scientists in search of truth, we are also theologians in search of meaning. While science and religion both arise from our need to cope with experience, science and religion are responses to fundamentally different questions. Science can help us discover the truth about our world, but religion can help us give that truth meaning.

Even as science continues to teach us more and more about what is, to penetrate many of the fundamental questions about the universe, people are still searching for a way to apply those truths to their lives in a way that is emotionally or spiritually fulfilling.

Meet in person at CVUU or online through Zoom on Sunday at 10:00 AM.
