Though his students were from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, I don’t think any of his students had any problems having an open discussion in class about all elements of science with this teacher. I don't think it ever crossed our mind that one realm had to be used to refute or, worse, beat to death the other. Rather than making progress on both fronts (science and religion) in recent years, it seems as if we have once again moved into a period of intellectual intolerance. How ironic. The Dark Ages have returned, but we’re calling it the Information Age.CHSnoreply@blogger.com
