Both religion and science can be biased
Scientist's talk of the importance of
having strict boundaries between science, religion and ideology, so
that science can be completely objective, but I obviously don't like those
boundaries. Aside from various human abilities to be objective (science can merely have more complicated bias than religion), it is a truncated and limited way to live in the world. I think these
specialties need to balance one another, each can affirm the other,
or at least they can use each other in a more holistic worldview.
Evolution is an important key to
understanding all the specialties, for example, in the Theoevolutionary Church the evolution of life has a Godhood end-goal, which, so far, is affirmed by religion and not by science. These can be
reconciled not only with each other, but with philosophy and
ideology. Religion can unite all of these, while science demands their objective separation.
On the other hand, religion has often
demanded separation from science and ideology, or ideology has demanded separation from religion, and so on, which also becomes a
truncated and limited way to live in the world.
