Science is a subset of human thought and culture that is defined by its subject matter, the physical universe and not the entire physical universe but only that part of the physical universe that can be successfully subjected to its methods. That's hardly the entirety of human thought and culture, never mind the universe. And the reason that science is so restricted in its subject matter is because it has been discovered that sometimes you can obtain information of enhanced reliability about that part of the physical universe that is the defined subject of science. It is incompetent to deal with anything that falls outside of the ability of the honest application of its methodology. <br /><br />Religion, just like the law or history or literature, etc. deals with a different and far wider area of human thought. These disciplines can successfully contain thoughts and ideas that can't be contained in science. But, and most important for this discussion, there is absolutely no restriction on religion or the law or history, etc. containing everything that science can reveal as well as the rest of their content. <br /><br />Science is a far smaller and formally restricted subset of knowledge and thought, religion, etc. are far larger subsets of knowledge and are far less formally restricted. <br /><br />Religion is free to consult science whenever it is useful and desirable to do so, science can't consult religion, or history , law, etc. except when it can fit into its formal requirements. Scientism and the new atheists have it ass backwards. There's an overlap but it's not the one they like to believe. <br /><br />Anthony McCarthyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
