No conflict between faith and science, eh?

RE: No conflict between faith and science, eh?
There doesn't have to be.  There are definitely some articles of some faiths that simply cannot exist with science as truth (even though we are obviously capable of holding contrary positions to be true).  This doesn't have much to do with the fact that they are articles of faith so much as that they are factually incorrect.  If they were not articles of faith they would still be factually correct, being articles of faith don't make them more or less factually correct.  

NOMA is not always true with respect to any given faith, it is true in principle - of an as-yet unrealized and purely hypothetical faith...lol


Carl Sagan famously opined upon a religion of nature.  He says it better than I could-

Quote:A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
