Post #161 "The Search for Reality I"

The natural world can only exist as far as creation, but if the human intellect is boundless, then science also has created infinity. Is science discovering through its advancing technology that the universe is seemingly limitless or is science creating, through its powers of intellect, a limitless universe? Is science creating, through its power of imaging, a limitless universe? Did religion create the heavens to create a limitless universe? Is science really claiming that human Reason is limitless? The search for Reality continues to unfold.

As religion is about Faith and science is about Reason, the question arises; is Faith a faculty of the mind? If so, then, is the mind a faculty of the soul or of the body? Science does not seem to have a need for a soul. As Reason is most certainly a factor of the mind, would science view the mind as a factor of the body? If the mind is  a factor of the mortal and destructible human body, then does this not limit and inhibit the possibilities of the mind to become enshrined and deified as Human Intellect, the Font of Reason and the Ultimate Creator of the Universe? It seems that the distinction between religion and science is ecoming a bit blurred. The lines of division are becoming less clear-cut and distinct. Science has no alternative but to discover the means to create life and overcome death.

If science has researched and determined a new scientific fnding or fact, then would it not be expected that all those involved in the research would have to accept that new finding as fact based on the power of Reason? Would the acceptance, then, on the part of those not involved in the research, have to be on some degree of faith...faith in the reputation of the researchers or the 'experts', or would the new finding be subjected to universal questioning until a bedrock of fact was established by all? The situation would involve some of both modes of acceptance. Would not those farthest away from the field of the particular finding be more inclined to believe on Faith, and trust those they hold up as expert?
