I just watched it.
Thanks so much for the recommendation.
It was encouraging and illuminating to hear so many lucid viewpoints on the question I tried to embrace above.
I guess the difference between religion and science may even be observed right here in this thread...
Let's begin with the basic enquiry: How did I come to watch the film "What the @#%#!$%# ???", tonight?
Traditional Science would have to consider the mechanics of the posts and responses within the thread, and therefore try to describe the relationships between the participants within this thread, on the basis of JUST the observable phenomena -- their posts and replies.
Religion is, necessarily, looking beyond the bounds of "Science", into realms about which we have no data, in which there are no observable phenomena, to seek a LARGER significance to the things Science "sees".
Consider the interaction between us (you and I)...
I know only that you are "Brujah", and whatever I may know or infer about you from the "signs" you have left here.
Science is looking only at the "signs", sometimes, sadly, believing that there is no TRUTH beyond those signs.
Religions is recognizing them AS signs, and asking: "...of what?"
