[Kicker] (approximately 125 characters, no spaces) Commented [j1]: Don’t forget these!
[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, an award-winning chemist, 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 goes on to saystates Commented [j2]: Love this!
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. Commented [j3]: Do you have a specific verse from this
chapter you could quote here? I feel like this paragraph
needs a concluding/transitional statement.
In today’s society, aAsking questions is absolutely essential for our learning, growing,
and understanding of the world around us. David Oh also said According to Oh, Commented [j4]: I don’t think this introductory phrase
is necessary, but it’s up to you if you’d like to keep it.
“Sscience 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. Commented [j5]: This is so good, Robbyn! Great job!
