ABSTRACT: Science
is the engine that drives the wheel of development. Consequently, there is a need
for people to have faith in science and believe its facts and truths. This
paper has looked into some of the definitions of what actually science is, and
has highlighted some of the findings that science has concluded—the
explanations offered in science. The main phenomena that have been tackled in
this paper include rainfall and rainbows, earthquakes, lightning and thunders.
Other facts that have been discussed include diseases, adaptation, natural
selection, mutation, survival for the fittest and evolution. Faith and religion
as well as beliefs have been mentioned too. The challenges facing the belief in
science have been identified; how to
overcome them, and where religion has been identified as the
main obstacle in science’s path. In general, this paper presents the overall
view of science to the readers with the sole aim of enlightening people as to
why they should actually believe in it, identifying the biggest challenge hindering furtherance of science ideas in men as
well as offering ways that can help in overcoming them.
