Your premise is that science is limited in what it can say about the universe. I’m not aware of any constraints on science and what it can say about the natural world, the universe.
There are two “parts” to so-called science, which those who are religiously scientistic don’t want people to know about, as it dilutes their “moral superiority”.
The two parts are:
- knowledge of the universe
- engineering based on the aforesaid knowledge
Scientific knowledge is not limited as to what it can discover, other than by the energy requirements implied in what it is that one is “looking for”…
…but the engineering capable of being done
with “science” must be limited, as what is POSSIBLE to do is not necessarily what is GOOD to do.
The role of “governor” of science is with the Church, meaning with those who understand that science is contained and moderated by true religion.
When “science” will not be governed by (true) religion (aka morality) it makes itself a religion, and will inevitably act contrary to true morality (as it’s not “plugged into” the source of that truth) and promulgate (usually) massive evil which it won’t see as evil-doing until it’s much too late.
What you mean to say, and what you omitted, is that your religion asserts that science is limited in what it can say about the universe. This is just a pope telling a scientist not to dig too deep.
Science needs to “dig” as deeply as possible, which is what the Church wants it to do, because the deeper an understanding of the universe we have the more understanding we’ll have as to why God created it as He did for us to live in and use,…
…but what “science” tries to DO with that science/knowledge MAY not be a good use of that science!
(Big) Science, like all other “temporal powers”, is free to govern it’s “territory” as it wishes, but when it fails to see itself as what it is and thinks itself “unbound” in it’s actions, not accountable even to God, then it becomes yet another satanic tyrant.
The fact is I cannot pick up a cook book with a recipe for how to prepare heavenly angels in marinara sauce. Apparently angel is a dish beyond culinary expertise.
Can you make gluon-stew?
How about anti-proton souffle?
Angels are quite real, as are demons. Those who don’t understand what “God” means aren’t capable of seeing how they are dragged about by those demons, and freed by those angels, toward/from the “hell” of holding onto those things one shouldn’t hold onto which create evil-doing.
So it’s not a strong or valid argument, this assertion that religion is beyond science, and therefore does not render any worthy or even interesting conclusions.
Religion is the ONLY thing that renders worthy and interesting MORAL conclusions. Science is the ONLY thing that renders effective and useful ENGINEERABLE conclusions
You fail to see what the essence of the respective realms of science and religion are.
Religion is about morality. Science is about everything BUT morality.
Science SEEMS to get MUCH the better of the deal, as it’s “realm” is apparently much greater, and sometimes, in those who take that “larger realm” to mean inherently more importance, the so-called “scientists” (religiously scientistic materialists as opposed to true scientists) are “persuaded” to a massive hubris which claims that all things not “governed by science” are fancifully nonexistent.
Do you have more of a correct understanding of the respective roles of true science and true religion now, and how either impinging on the other is a bad thing?
