The question answers itself.<br /><br />Another tack would be the statement my old chemistry prof (<i>and he was--back from "Emeritus" status at the time he was my prof</i>) made as to science/religion (<i>paraphrased here</i>):<br /><br />Science is suited to asking and attempting to answer "What-How-When" questions. Theology is suited to asking and attempting to answer "Why" questions. Rarely do the two have ground in common on any substantive matter.<br /><br />I've found that to be the case in general. What-How-When answers may bolster or call into question particular statements of what-how-when in a particular religious narrative, but those what-how-when answers have no real impact on the Why questions addressed in the narrative.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963723435723078770noreply@blogger.com
