We are encouraged

I do not agree with Clark, naturalism and supernaturalism cannot coexist peacefully. In our world and society today, we are encouraged to voice our opinions and demonstrate our beliefs. It is evident that both supernaturalism and naturalism do not have any parallels and as a result conflict drastically. Science and faith do not have same common ground and thus their followers and advocators have conflicting beliefs and views. But because science is more hands on and the proof of science can be seen, more people are eager to trust and support naturalism. Clearly, there are too many differences between the natural and supernatural world for it to coexist peacefully. Nationally, we try to separate church and state, but we still struggle everyday with keeping religion out of our government. Even worldwide there are problems with religion and different governments. I don’t know how these two worlds can exist peaceful together when the religious world cannot come to terms. There has been and seems like there will always be continual religious wars. It is clear that if the supernatural world is at war, then it will not be able to make peace with another enemy. Moreover, how can we be certain that there is a supernatural world? There is no scientific or hard evidence that there is a supernatural world. Do some humans believe and wish for a supernatural world in hopes to find a happier life? Perhaps some people believe in the supernatural world because it gives them hope and security. Or was the supernatural world created for people to try to find happiness and create false-hopes? I guess we will never know if there is a definite supernatural world, but we know that naturalism and supernaturalism will never be able coexist peacefully.
