Dear Basilio, A very nice post and a delight to read. Thank you. There is a third river, one which we sometimes ignore. It asks: so what if science is right in explaining the world and natural phenomena, so what if religion gives life and death meaning? The ranks of the poor increase, abject poverty exists, illiteracy/homelessness is present in great numbers in our world. Unless science and religion address those issues (to me the fundamental issues of our time), there will always need to be a third river, a moral and ethical waterway which meanders through science and religion, but regretfully gets drowned in their truths (small 't'). Regards, George
