From Michael Walsh
There is no conflict between science and religion; the only disagreement is whether religion is a subset of psychology or memetics.
From Elizabeth Young
James Whalley (19 November, p 37) is sure that there is a “disconnect” between science and religion. My own, uninformed guess is that scientific hypothesis, poetry writing, prayer and worship, and our responses to music and art all probably involve activity in the same part of the brain. Can a neuroscientist tell us?

From Mike Williams
James Whalley writes that religion and science are absolutely at loggerheads, but that depends very much on what one’s religious beliefs are. The notions of Christian fundamentalists are a straw man and easy to knock down, but many Christians interpret the stories in Genesis as allegorical and not literal.
