I've been thinking about the documentary that we saw on Thursday, and trying to understand what is going on below the surface of the conflict depicted there. Plainly, its not just verbal, so it makes sense to ask: what exactly is at stake here? Here I think we need to ask about what exactly are religion and science, their roles in our lives, and the differences between them. One significant difference seems to be that the religion depicted in the film provides a set of values, a way of life, and a way of dealing with life, whereas science does not. So perhaps the conflict on one level is about this.
