Generally I believe in the concept of
“science as truth,” but I feel more comfortable with
“religion-and-science as truth.” This sounds oxymoronic but is not
for me. Science is like a creative mechanic and religion like an
artistic engineer.
The science-based field of
sociobiology, which examines the connections between biology and
culture, needs to be included far more in all our cultural decisions.
The opposition to this great field by religion, education and
government need to be overcome. Not applying solid knowledge on
human nature and society from sociobiology is almost like flying
blind.
I believe that enlightened intellectual
intuition can bring truths as valid as science, science only affirms
truths they can empirically prove. Religious truths have been too extraordinarily holistic to be accurately classified. But much depends---perhaps too
much---on the person making the judgments. Even so, I still rely on the
synthesis of religion and science, difficult as that is.
