Hello Everyone,

Not sure what all the fuss is about with regard to the science/religion
thing. I just omitted the usual "vs." in that last sentence on purpose.
Too me, science is not a collection of "facts" because as some else pointed
out, "facts" can, and often do, change. Rather, science is a process, as in
the "scientific process" of experimentation and observation, etc. That all.
The process gets refined over time but it is nevertheless, a process.

It also seems to me that the two ways of thinking attempt to get at two
fundamentally different types of questions. Science attempts to answer
"how" questions, as in "How did we get here" whereas religion attempts to
answer "why" questions as in "Why are we here."

I really don't see the two fields as being contradictory, just
complementary.

As I said, I don't see what the big fuss is about.

-Walter
