I do not disagree with you, Terry, but it is important to recognize science for what it is and it is important to recognize religion for what it is.

The point is that, in religion, the human mind only needs to take one step to get to the highest level of everything. Meanwhile, in science, the human mind can never get to the highest level of everything, no mater how many steps are take.

As soon as folks understand that, then they can understand the functioning of the human mind better.

In general, people think that their brains can conquer anything if they just put their minds to it. People sometimes think they are their minds.

In reality, the brain is a tool, and tools are themselves not real, though they are really there of course.

Let me use a piece of paper as the example to show this.

I can use a piece of paper to reflect on reality, but I can also use a piece of paper to create a fantasy.

If I draw a Cyclops on a piece of paper, then everything may be shown as realistic as possible, but the single eye tells us loud and clear that we are in fantasyland.

Tools can be used to go beyond reality.

Now, if we take that information back to science, then we can see that scientists, too, like to move toward fantasy sometimes. That is not what is supposed to happen. The rules of science are quite clear. Yet people are people, and scientists are people, too.

Scientists do not always recognize that science is limited. They don't want science to be limited.

And that is why setting religion next to science is important. It is important to see that both function on their own ground rules and that neither can fill out the entire field of reality.

Both are capable of doing something the other cannot do.

Good points, therefore, Terry.
