But I beg to differ: I think there is a difference between the religious belief/creed and the rational belief/trust. The difference lies in the revocability of trust and the radical doubt that is at the heart of the scientific culture (and which you practise with incomparable virtuosity...). The religious belief/creed in science leads to scientism, as Migeru says somewhere in this thread. "Ne te courbe que pour aimer..." René Char
And sure.. there is a difference..absolutely .. no doubt.. each mythology is absolutely different, and of course religion and science are...
Although Kant envisioned that both would address different issues...pity, people did not like Kant and his "!how" and "why" questions.
So in mythologies, mechansims and basis , the same.. content, different... and I guess you know which mythology I like more... or trust more :)
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
