Where Science And Religion Overlap

Mathematician Eric Priest draws out the similarities:

Science has its own set of guidelines in the same way that religious belief does, but within those guidelines it has enormous freedom. And so one of the key features of science, and being a scientist like myself, is to be open, to be open to questions, to be open to new experiences, to expect that my ideas are going to change and going to evolve in the future. And I think the same is true for religious belief. To me the life of faith is a pilgrimmage; it's a journey.
