"Religion is centered upon the harmony of rational thought with the sensitive reaction to the percepta from which experience originates. Science is concerned with the harmony of rational thought with the percepta themselves."

I think it suggests that religion balances rational thought with our emotional responses to experiences, while science focuses on aligning thought directly with those experiences. Essentially, religion helps us understand feelings and beliefs, while science seeks to understand the world through observation and logic. Both offer valuable insights. How do you view their relationship?

I think you understand what this man has said.

Interestingly, there are different ways to go after truth. Science tends to be more politically liberal, but it is balanced by religion tending to be more politically conservative.
