re: #106 chunkymonkey

Unless it’s a Russian airplane, in which case you’re either drunk or believe in God. Few people who board an airplane understand the science of flight. This doesn’t make them idiots, and there are few people in the world who will tell you that there is no God because airplanes can fly.

you are still making a division here between “people who believe in G-d” and “people who “believe” in science”. two things:

“believing” in science as i mean to use the term means believing that people make real measurements based on empirical knowledge, make logical and reasonable deductions from those measurements, and design and build things based on the foregoing

that’s science and engineering

but also, many many religious people find absolutely no conflict between science and religion - see teilhard de chardin , who the nuns who ran the high school i went to always liked to bring up - and in fact think that the wonderful things that science has revealed are testament to the glory and greatness of G-d
