I am so grateful for this conversation. I have never found science and religion to be mutually exclusive. As I have always seen it science is almost always having to do reverse engineering on God's Creation. This conversation reminded me of this quote from "The Origin, by Marshall Vian Summers. "There is no conflict between Creation and evolution, for God created evolution so that everyone in Separation could find their way back. Even the most sinful, the most dreadful and the most depraved will find their way back because there is no alternative to Creation. Even Hell and all the dimensions of Hell that you could possibly imagine are only temporary in the greater scheme of things. The power, the draw and the calling of God are within you, deep beneath the surface of your mind. With this is the memory of the greater purpose that you are born with, which is not a purpose for Separation, but a purpose for contribution, which has the power to undo your Separation and to liberate you from it, thus returning to you the strength, the confidence and the reality that you are not alone."
Because "Science" is one of the most philosophically-loaded concepts in any language and culture today, one must press the question: What does one mean by "science"? Is it Speculative science? Is it "Hard" empirical, observable relations of cause and effect? What precisely is the definition being used, and what of the subtexts that may or many not beg the questions, if they exist?
