"Losing My Religion": How Science Has Become a Tool of the Religious Absolutist
"One of the greatest tragedies of our time is this impression that has been created that science and religion have to be at war." - Francis Collins
According to some, neutrality is a myth; either you're for the "team" or you're against it. Polarization has become increasingly prevalent, and it could be logical to infer that almost anything can, and will, at some point, become polarized. Polarization and tribalism seem to be a tendency of human nature, especially as social media stokes the figurative fires of culture. Unfortunately, this results in polarizing forms of thought not designed for logical consistency.
This brings us to everyone's favorite topic: religion. Bias aside, religion is a form of explaining something in a way that we deem more effective than any alternative. The same can be said for the sciences. Equating the sciences in their purest form, to religions in their purest form, whatever that may mean to you, can be a false comparison. Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. Religion is a social-cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, morals, beliefs, worldviews, and more, that generally relates humanity to the supernatural, transcendental, and spiritual elements. To many, they're not designed to be the same, nor are they supposed to be collaborative, but why? Is it out of the question to analyze whether they've merged? Can the two coexist harmoniously, or do we have an inability to separate our bias from either? Can one's religion be another's science and vice versa?
Join the Wolf, Bull, and Baewolf in episode 65 as we discuss the merit of whether the Sciences, and religion(s) have become tainted by human nature through dogmatic ideology, and intentionally divisive views. The point of this episode is not to champion one over the other, but to merely observe that the human mind tends to accept whichever school that it prescribes, as universally true. We think that's a problem, and surely, is anything but scientific or religious.
