Random Thought on a Gorgeous Day
If reality is perception, and perception is individual, I see no clear-cut winner in the title bout of Science v. Religion. While I do find it utterly laughable for someone to say, “I believe human beings co-existed with dinosaurs…that’s just what I believe…” I don’t see a fundamental difference between that and a fervent confidence in the accuracy of carbon dating. Scientific knowledge is simply mankind imposing its vision on nature, and therefore just as steeped in faith. The bases are different, but the similarities are there.
