But they are still 2 entirely seperate concepts, no matter how much many people would like them to be the same. Can they coexist? Can they together define the way in which a person sees the world? Of course. But that is far from them being the same. Religion goes well beyond the realm of observable, testable facts and theories that science relies upon, and in fact in many cases snubs and even harshly condemns such approaches outright. Religion should be critical of itself, but far more often than not, it is only critical of others, and only defends its precepts no matter the facts. Science, by its nature, accepts criticsim by all, and exists only because of criticism and constant redefinition. Religion generally exists only because of the lack thereof. [quote] Genesis tells us the world was created in six days - what is a day to an omnipotent omniscient cosmic being? Maybe 24 Earth hours; maybe millions of years. The science does not exist to explain this [/quote] The science does not exist to explain it? :confused: Why/how is it the job of science to explain the possible variations in interpretation of ancient literature?
