Sciene vs Religion

As I read chapter one, "Apples and Oranges", I was intrigued with the way Michael Guillen described the relationship between science and religion. I was interesting to realized that people were struggling with the two topics in the past as well as in the present. Scientist and religious leaders were attempting to come up with theories and ideas that satisfied both religion and science. To make the reader understand the conflict concerning religion and science, the author used personification and made it seem like the two ideas were  couple, struggling to get a long. Some had to demand that their ideas about science were wrong in fear of being punished by the Church for their ideas.
