From the Article:
“In other words, science cannot, a priori, challenge religion, especially our religion, for science can never speak in terms of absolute truth.”
This is incorrect. Science *CAN* speak in absolute terms, particularly mathematics.
For example I can say, with absolute confidence, that 2 is the ONLY even prime number.
To prove this, all that are needed are the definitions of ‘Prime’ and ‘Even’.
An even number is an integer which is evenly divisible (that is, leaving no remainder) by 2.
{x is even if 2k = x for some integer k}
A Prime number is an integer, excluding 1, which only evenly dividable by itself and one.
2 is the even number resultant from setting k to 1; that is, 2(1) = x.
This satisfies the definition for prime, further, any even number would have to have its k set to something other than 1 which means that it is evenly divisible by k. Therefore, the only even number satisfying the requirements for being prime is 2.
And yet, science is not mathematics. Mathematics can be used to study science, they are not one and the same.
