EH - 52 : Science and Religion

it seems that most people -- on both sides of the debate about religion and science in the United States -- share a belief in a kind of magic.

Robert Jensen goes deep into the philosophy of this debate - when, in reality, there is no debate and the consensus is rapidly bypassing shallow opinions on both sides. Relocating focus on investigation by unbiased means means reevaluating the scientific and religious methods for comprehending truth. No organized point of view can have a monopoly on truth, but we as individuals know when we sense it. And moreso - when we sense it's absense. In the absense of truth, the world is entirely fiction.

doncha just love being able to use homonyms next to each other in a proper grammatical sentence.
