Religion diverges, fragments; science converges; alchemy; science finds objective reality; Bible compiled end of 4th century; 200 Christian “denominations”; science converges to a single reality; science proves itself daily; Italy, Iran, India: ask a chemist and get the same answer but ask a religious question and get contradictory answers; ways of knowing (epistemological methods); religion’s way of know: scripture and authority; no way of reconciling contradictory scriptures; religions’ way of knowing does NOT reveal reality; the opposite of faith? “a view of the world which is neither religious nor scientific but simply our view of the world” – Alan Watts; apply something like science’s way of knowing to religions? But how? A huge, difficult problem; religion upholds an ideal of love, concern for neighbor, peace, charity and other virtues; we have “evolved” beyond Coliseum and slavery; an ideal beyond wealth, power, and fame-lacking in today’s popular media? superior religion lead to more elevated humanity?
