very right on "...the business of science is to amass data about the natural world and put it in order, with the hope of developing theories about apparent observed relationships that rely on natural causes." Nice Definition I am confused by this statement, however. "That does not mean that the competing accounts cannot be valid, however, as long as they do not falsify the phenomena to be explained........ I do not see competition between religion and science in accounting for natural phenomenon. I do see competition between some groups to explain the phenomenon. For example: Solon and Mars seem to be in competition against "believers" on this thread. The competition is based in science and philosophy/theology to: from one point of view, offer a philosophical explanation for the meaning of the universe that would dispel religious claims with "science" as the only basis for evaluation; while, from the other, point of view the claim that there is no breach between science (as you defined it) and religion; that infact, the two are complimentary not competitive.
