This week's Sunday message examines an enduring philosophical question: the relationship between scientific understanding and spiritual belief. As technological innovation and research methodology have advanced, many have come to assume that every phenomenon in the world can be explained through systematic observation and repeatable experimentation. However, observers suggest this framework may overlook dimensions of experience that fall outside the scope of scientific inquiry.
