Consider Spider-Man, for instance. Peter Parker, like many of us, juggles work, relationships, and personal development with his responsibilities as Spider-Man. His narrative stands as a testament to resilience and courage in the face of adversity. It’s a reflection of our struggles as we grapple with personal and professional challenges.

Throughout history, one of the main philosophical debates has revolved around the nature of God and religion. Connected to this debate is the question of morality and society. A common controversy in this field is whether science and religion are in conflict with each other or if they address different concerns.
