Science + Christianity

Hmmm had a talk on Science and Christianity toay. It was abit...waffly.... and to be honest, I dont think I walked away with much.

The total angles within a triangle is 180°

Lack of sleep makes me docile. As supposed to agro? Hmmmm..... guess we'll find out.

really? I thought you'd really enjoy that talk! I thought it was so ... you! not that I think you're waffly or that I often come away from a conversation with you feeling like I've learnt nothing. Hmmm ... I'll stop digging.

I actually found it quite useful. although there was one point where i did slightly daydream.

since u didn't write much I'll include what I remember..

The main points being that:

- science is not the only source of reliability. we also have to be aware of that history can contribute to the reliability of things.

- science deals with concepts of matter and energy and it doesn't really reach into the realm of the supernatural (what is outside) as it's purpose is only to examine the interactions of the 'natural' (matter/energy/dimensions and the like) as it's own cause (which it most often is).
>> science can say with high reliability that matter/energy behaves in certain ways but can never say with certainty.

- science gained credibility over a lot of folklore/myths through 'disproving' them causing the general public to have poorly applied science without much thought to matters of history such as Christianity
