My college had three "divisions." Div. 1 was "arts," Division 3 was "sciences" (math, physics, chemistry, biology), and the middle division, divison 2, was "soft" or social sciences (economics, sociology, religion). Isn't that really what we're talking about?
Exactly!!! I live by hard science, literal testable IMPERICAL science. Not "soft" science, witch relies on phylosophy, faith, whatever. Can you not see this Yorick? This is what I have been saying all along. IMPERICAL science has no room for faith or phylosophy.[/QUOTE]AAAARRRGGHH!

FAITH IS THE RESULT! Faith and science are not opposites! Each use the other! Man this is frustrating Kathen!

I HAVE FAITH, and I USE SCIENCE!

You are telling me you're without faith? Fine. You say you rely on science? Fine. DON'T tell me what I do! I use both. They interweave and assist each other. HArmoniously. When I discover aspects of chemistry or biology I gain understanding of the Trinity for example. Triunity.

I use the science of psycholgy to understand myself. I use sociology to understand humanity. I use economic science to get ahead financially, I use theology for life/relationship enhancement, I use geography and biology to enhance my appreciation of the planet, and increase my theology.

Conjoinment, not seperation!

Shheesh!

You don't? Fine. DON'T PRESCRIBE YOUR REALITY AND METHODOLOGY ONTO ME.
