During our discussion about altruism and evolution, reader Biswajit provided a useful link to the very interesting discussion Beyond Belief 2006, pertaining to the role of science and religion in our lives and if there is or needs to be, any relation between the two. Rather than leave the link buried in the comments section where many readers will not see it, I decided to bring it to the front as a post. I haven't gone through the whole session. So far, I find myself agreeing most closely with Steven Weinberg (physicist) and Carolyn Porco (astronomer) although Ms. Porco seems to disagree with Weinberg on certain points. Do check it out.
Note: Thanks Biswajit for bringing this to my attention.
