>> To suggest that science cannot disprove the "literal Bible" is certainly not true. Do you believe that two of each kind of insect were on the Ark, the Ark would have to be a really large, large, large, large, large, large ship. Science cannot and will not ever disprove "religious faith", it may however shed light on UFO's.<<
I agree with you on all of this: science cannot disprove religion. My point was that there used to be some who thought that science and religious faith of any kind were incompatible. It seems to me that I meet fewer such militant atheists than I used to. Moreover, I suspect that the ones I know miss the good old days when (in their opinion) an analysis of the Ark's dimensions should be sufficient to 'remedy' someone's irrationality (i.e., faith). Such nostalgia is, I think, as depressing as Cohen's longing for the Berlin Wall, though of course not as jarringly expressed. |
