Science, Religion, and Pseudoscience




Chunk the reading found at http://www.stephenjaygould.org/library/gould_noma.html into pieces...so everyone at your table is reading 4 to 5 paragraphs. When you get done, use a whiteboard to discuss the following questions:

a) what is science?
b) what is religion?
c) what is the theory of non-overlapping magisterium?
d) what would we call the overlap of science and religion?
e) which of the three ideas (science, pseudoscience, religion) were shown by the first astronomers?
f) can atheism be a religion?
