geology and religion

Geology is the scientific study of Earth's physical materials, processes, and history, revealing how the planet's landforms and layers formed over millions of years. Religion, on the other hand, involves beliefs, practices, and worldviews about the divine, creation, and human purpose. While geology investigates Earth's natural origins through evidence and observation, religion often interprets Earth's origins through spiritual stories and faith. Despite differing methods—scientific versus spiritual—they both explore humanity's place in the universe, offering insights into our origins, whether through understanding the Earth's physical history or spiritual meaning.
