Faith and Reason
Re “Warming Winds for Icy Debate,” editorial, Aug. 17: So, a rapprochement between science and religion may be taking shape. Where do you get this nonsense from?
Science uses reason to analyze evidence of reality. Religion uses faith, in the absence of evidence, to accept a particular view. They are totally opposite in nature. If you mix poison with food, what do you think it does for human sustenance? The mind is no different; any use of faith undercuts reason. Mix religion with science and your knowledge of reality is the loser!
