Science and religion

[The Reality Salesman01]

When the pastor says that science has not yet caught up with the bible, he is making a comparison of zero relevance. Science is not intended to be applied to an unfalsifiable hypothesis. It is reproducible data and demonstrative conclusions and experiments to which science is applied. If you expect science to be able to demonstrate how you talk to invisible spirts that only you see and hear, and for science to explain how those spirits tell you what to do, and science doesn't deliver, I suppose you could say science hasn't caught up, but it's not trying to either. Nor does anyone expect it to. Perhaps a more accurate assessment would be that science isn't compatible with the Bible. Even if science attempts to explain the physical phenomena occurring in your brain and nervous system to which your "spiritual experience" can be attributed, it is of little use if you intend on chucking the explanation out of the window and instead pronouncing it as a spiritual revelation! Suggesting that the Bible is somehow superior is simply a misunderstanding and makes just as much sense as saying: "While calculators are useful at math, they are inferior to typewriters." You could use a calculator to help design a type writer and determine angles and electronic functions necessary for the typer writer to be efficient, but if you expect the calculator to help you with explaining what a person writes with it from their imagination, you may be expecting too much from the wrong device.
