There is much debate on whether science and Torah can exist on the same plane. Many people say that science is always wrong when it contradicts the Torah. Well to this I say: Rubbish
Science and Torah do not conflict by definition. Science is nothing more than the study of nature. Scientists interpret those studies as best they can. They look for truth through the physical world. Sometimes they get it right; sometimes they get it wrong. But intellectual honesty and the seeking of truth is the hallmark of science, if not always of scientists. Sometimes personal beliefs and agendas get in the way of proper analysis of data, but in theory pure science knows no forgone conclusion and has no agenda.
Torah on the other hand does have a forgone conclusion and an agenda. But Torah and science are not mutually exclusive. They exist in perfect harmony as two truths, one physical and one spiritual.
When science seems to contradict the Torah, either one does not understand the science or one does not understand the Torah. When either side insists that their interpretation is correct and therefore the other side is wrong, it shows nothing but pure arrogance and a lack of intellectual honesty.
