Science and Faith

So this week I have fallen in love with the band "The Script".  One of their songs titled "Science and Faith" is about being so in love with someone that they become his science, faith, and reality. This is what society tells us that our significant other should be. It embraces the idea that that person can fulfill our deepest needs and provide us with a frame through which to view life. The book, "Twilight" embraces this same idea that the one we love becomes our reality. In the book, love is pictured as permanent and more fate than choice. To fight or resist giving ourselves to that one other person would be denying our very selves and going against the force of nature.
Is this how God intended for us to be? Does this mean that single people are missing out on science, faith, or reality? What truly defines us? How are we to be truly fulfilled in a society that constantly feeds us these lies?

  1. Suppose for a moment, that what society tells us is true. Then, who is our love? Should this be God? What does it mean if this being is not God? Do these ideas match up with with what the Bible tells us should be the case?
