More Sciency Stuff..... Aliens Edition !

It is my view that the two are intertwined, The problem comes when either science or theism attempt to exclude one another:

Quote:Science and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The two windows give different views, but they look out at the same universe. Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential features of the real world. And both are worthy of respect.

Trouble arises when either science or religion claims universal jurisdiction, when either religious dogma or scientific dogma claims to be infallible. Religious creationists and scientific materialists are equally dogmatic and insensitive. By their arrogance they bring both science and religion into disrepute.

This is why I have always considered atheists to be closed-minded. But that's just my opinion.
