It is a renouncing of truth-seeking to argue that religion and science are only harmonious when it is understood that they are “different ways of knowing.” For example, when it is said that religion deals with a relationship with God, moral values, etc., while science deals with the definition of matter, evolution etc..
Religion and science are the same way of knowing. Godhood is epiphenomenal, we evolve to Godhood in material evolution. It remains for science to understand the epiphenomenon of Godhood and the Spirit, and it remains for religion to understand the material-epiphenomenal basis of Godhood.
We do not need to separate God from the cruelty and misery of the world when evolution shows the ups and downs and cycles of the material world seeking to evolve to Godhood. Religion and science need to expand to one another---this is not a reduction.
