I think I will attempt to start up another on going series. Maybe one of these days I can go back to Short Story Sunday & Movie Monday.
Are science and religion at odds with each other?
Does one have to be a atheist to be a good scientist?
I will say "no".
From Alan I. Leshner, CEO American Assoc for the Advancement of Science
in Science, 8 July 2005
"...it is important for scientists to acknowledge that not all questions can be answered by science. Scientific insights are limited to the natural world. For reasons of their own, some scientists argue with some passion that there could not have been an intelligent designer behind the process of evolution. In fact, we cannot answer that question scientifically, because it is a matter of belief that is outside our realm."
Yes, science can not answer all questions. It can't answer which is the best sonnet by Shakespeare, which of Beethoven's symphonies is the best, or how to pick the best presidential candidate.
I am also sometimes confused on why people try to prove or disprove the existence of God with science.
Science = natural
God = supernatural
