skeptical inquiry and religion
The question is posed: Should skeptical inquiry be applied toreligion? I really think it can't and probably shouldnt. I like thepoint the author made about comparing science and religion. He said itwas like comparing science and sports or science and music. They justarent' the same. Religion is more of an expressive uplifting field.It's not something that can be defined as true or false.
The article does, however, talk about science being applied to religionin a historical sense. Religous and historical events that have takenplace can be proved with scientific evidence. It doesnt make everyaspect of a religion true. For instance, there is evidence ofartifacts that can be scientifically dated back to the days of jesus.So it can be proven that jesus did exist but how can science prove thathe was the son of God? The point is science and religion can worktogether at times but for the most part are two completely seperatethings.
