Natural Order and Science

[Harris]

I wonder what it's like living in a world where the only two options are:

1) Current scientific theory explains everything 100%

and

2) My favourite book filled with magical stories is true

I'm quite content with option 3.

Oh really!

Did science tell you what your own subjective experiences are?
Did science tell you what happens to us after we die?
Did science tell you what exactly gravity is?
Did science tell you something about the mechanism of Natural Selection?
Did science tell you what is the first living being on earth and how it came into being?

Etc. etc. etc.

My favourite book at least gives some understanding in logical way to all puzzling concepts and giving guidance on how to live in harmony with others and tells us the purpose of our lives. It tells what is good for us and what is not. It threatens mischief makers and give good tidings to those who show their patience and scarify their wild desires for the goodwill of the community of which they are part of.

Sure, if you have selfish genes and you care for no one other than your own good will, pleasure, and comfort then my favourite book is not for you.
