The Great Influenza (p14 and p15)

The two most important questions in science are "What can I know?" and "How can I know it?"

Science and religion part ways over the first question, what each can know. Religion, and to some extent, philosophy, believes it can know, or at least address the question, "Why?"


For most religions the answers to this question ultimately comes down to the way -od ordered it. Religion is inherently conservative, even one proposing a new -od only creates a new order.

The question "why" is too deep for science. Science instead believes it can only learn "how" something occurs.
