| Science and Religion are two different ways of accessing the same truth. Or so we think. I think that science is over the hill at this point, and will, in the next hundred+ years, begin to hit obstacles too large to circumvent -- that's when a newer knowledge paradigm will become mainstream.
In the mean time you'll have people who honestly believe science is the best way to find all truth -- but isn't that the way of paradigms? It's facinating really, to see how intellectualism evolves, and always systematically denies the elements of reality that it cannot explain. Science doesn't have any place in the more abstract part of religion, and so someone indoctrinated into that scientific paradigm will simply deny that those religious concepts have any place in reality... our perspective shapes what we observe in a profound and fundamental way, and that, my dear scientists, because of her particular emphasis on observation, is what will make science obsolete in time. |
