Robert:
before(agree or not): I feel closer to you in siirpt (if not in letter) than the others. religion and science are radically different ways of talking about things. To use the terms of one to talk inside the other is a reduction and contamination of both. We do it all the time. Maybe it’s a necessity. But it’s not sufficient and it generates the quibbles and quarrels and ongoing yes-it-is, no-it-isn’t tough-titty wrangle that we see here. I mostly love it (the wrestling) even if it don’t go nowhere. But I’m a troll. I know there are contexts where the back & forth can be edifying and actually build up a shared view. But they are rare and involve some kind of agree-ability among the players, contesters 2 or 3 or more gathered together for the sake of argument of the best sort and not just defense (not that there’s anything wrong with that: generates offense is what it does.).
