Religious belief systems have been challenged by scientific belief systems which emergenced during the period known as enlightenment. This period had two key principles: the belief that reason could provide an understanding of the world and that this understanding could be used to improve the lives of human beings. These two principles resulted in the procedure for doing scientific research being created. Sociologists such as Frazer, believed that the introduction and grounds of scientific explanations would cause religion to disappear. However, sociologists are divided on whether the impact of science has been positive or negative due to the many achievements science has made such as weapons of mass destruction and the eradication of many fatal diseases through drugs.

Throughout history, from the times of Galileo Galilei and his proposition of a heliocentric universe, to Charles Darwin and his Theory of Evolution, the debate between religion and science has been heated and controversial. Although the argument continues today, a middle ground has emerged which raises the question of duality between the two. Whilst a contextual understanding of the Judeo-Christian story of creation is compatible with modern scientific theories,
Introduction One aspect of the contemporary debate between science and religion is related to humans’ acquisition of knowledge and truth. An individual’s worldview, or explanation of the world and an application of this view to life, plays a key role in this debate. Scientism is the belief that the most accurate knowledge comes from the scientific method (Gousmett, 1996). Conversely, the Christian worldview recognizes that God is the source of all truth (MacArthur, 2006). While on the surface these worldviews conflict, this paper argues that there is a role for both.
Visual Elements of Art • Line – technical definition: the path of a moving point. Uses in art: provide boundaries between forms, indicate direction or motion, show shadows or highlighting, express spatial depth on flat surfaces, can be expressive in themselves, or serve as symbols.

In this example lines show direction and motion and clearly define the borders of the form.
