And let us keep in mind that the main topic is peaceful coexistence. Is it possible? Is it desirable? What should we do promote it? etc. .
I am of the mind that it is neither possible nor desirable. In science there are no sacred cows. There are no subjects that are off limits, and this includes religious belief. On the other side, how compelling is theology if it has no bearing on the world around us, the world that science is trying to describe?
The two can not peacefully coexist. Toes will always be stepped on. You can not have some people describing the world as they wish it were and those who describe the world as it really is without the two conflicting.
