• Optional: Newsprint, markers and tape

• Optional: Write the challenge question on newsprint, and post.
• Optional: Browse the Internet and see what you find to share.

Challenge questions guide a deeper inquiry for especially thoughtful individuals and groups. For this session, ask:

Is science a religion?

If you search for an answer on the Internet, you find people saying "yes" and others saying "no." But what do the youth think?

Lead a discussion. You might also ask:

• What is the difference between proof and belief?
• Can someone trust in their faith and at the same time trust in the scientific method?
• Can someone belong to two religions?
• Can scientific method be used to prove anything at all about a religion? Why or why not?
