Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
Ive said it several times before. Religion and science scarcely concern each other at all except at the very front edge of knowledge. That's a place that most working scientists don't go very often, especially not when they're at work. You can do your science perfectly according to the tenets of the scientific method, then go off to Mass that evening and no-one would bat an eyelid. To think anything else is to misjudge the prosaic nature of most of the science that's done. We're not all science-philosophers at the very front edge of knowledge. Those with the time to delve a bit deeper will see clashes. Most scientists couldn't be arsed.
