"If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed."

weekly post

http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/Philosophy/axioms/axioms/Religion_versus_Science.html

This part of this very comprehensive philosophical article talks about the difference and similarities of science and religion. As well as what they are based on.


Faith is unprovable
Science and religion are both based on some sort of faith.
Therefore, both are unprovable and incorrect.

I believe the issue that this article does not answer to is why is the world, then, built in such a manner where somethings can be wrong and right at the same time if viewed from different angles as so to speak?
