Syncretism

Is the combining of two ideas that often oppose each other.

It is this and that. The suspension of one worldview and the introduction of another.

Two opposing ideas that contradict each other are difficult for anyone to reconcile.

However, we don’t have to throw out our original beliefs–at least at the moment. It’s okay to acknowledge this is what I believe and this is what I can prove. The shortcomings are the opportunity for future understanding.
