By now, anyone with more than two cerebral neurons should realize that distinctions between religion, science, and politics is simply arbitrary.
1.The greatest popularizer of evolution, Stephen Jay Gould, said “science and religion each represent different areas of inquiry, fact vs. values, so there is a difference between the "nets"[1] over which they have "a legitimate magisterium, or domain of teaching authority", and the two domains do not overlap.” Except when they focus on the same issue, as we will see in this essay.
2.Let’s bring in Gramsci and Mann to incorporate politics with those two specialties.
Antonio Gramsci, Italian Marxist theoretician and founding member and one-time leader of the Communist Party of Italy. Gramsci’s motto is that of liberals today: “that all life is "political."
“Everything is politics,” said the German author Thomas Mann. The author of Reflections of an Unpolitical Man was writing of a time when politics had failed and the world was consumed in the First World War. But he may have just as easily transported his critique to the present day. PJMedia
If you lived through the constant and mutually exclusive and regularly contrary pronouncements of government and ‘science,’ the Wuhan Red Death, you couldn’t miss the overlap of politics and ‘science.’
3. Dennis Prager writes: “In my lifetime alone, science went from positing a universe that always existed to positing a universe that had a beginning (the Big Bang). So, in just one generation [the Bible], in describing a beginning to the universe, went from conflicting with science to agreeing with science….[The Bible] should not violate essential truths (for example, it accurately depicts human beings as the last creation).”
Isn't it amazing that science, the supposed enemy of biblical religion, now accepts the very same order of the creation of the universe and of life on earth, as the order described in Genesis????
And this from folks living in a desert, three millennia ago....
4. And, on this Father’s Day, this Father, a Belgian priest, who also erases the line between religion and science, passed on to his reward.
Georges Lemaître, (born July 17, 1894, Charleroi, Belgium—died June 20, 1966, Leuven), Belgian astronomer and cosmologist who formulated the modern big-bang theory, which holds that the universe began in a cataclysmic explosion of a small, primeval “super-atom.” Britannica.com
5. Any who present only one of these three areas, religion, science and politics, and promises that you will understand the world…..
….is lying.
