Science and Religion

SpaceScience can describe vibrations and neural responses but not the "mysterious reality of music." It cannot tell us what we get from a painting or other work of art. Beauty remains mysterious but is very real. The physical world that scientists discover may just exist, may just be there, but it is in the understanding of it by man that its meaning, value and beauty lie. Something real is seen, an insight into the way things are. George Crispin
TimeScience and Religion both require that the structure be taken on a degree of faith. What we learn are approximations, that continually break down as you look closer and closer at them; but when you take them on faith, work most of the time. That should be good enough for most people. Reality is a perception and modern science is a religion. The burden of proof is unattainable, the honesty of the approach lies in the integrity of the individual. Believe what you wish - but something real is seen, an insight into the way things are. Dr. Lenny
