Will science and education render religion obsolete?

[angus]

No, marxism-lenistism, I don't think so.  They do not deal in the same realm, necessarily, and certainly don't need to be in conflict.  One deals with the corporeal, as I understand it, and the other deals with the ethereal, as I understand it.  No reason at all one cannot be a practicing Jew, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Maya, or Buddhist, and also be an active member of the scientific community.  In fact, I know several serious academic scientists who are also observant in their religion traditions.  If you're suggesting that the fact that the "mind" is being better and better understood in physiological and anatomic and chemical terms somehow implies that the domain of religion is diminishing, I'd say that the "mind" isn't the primary "organ" of focus in religion anyway.  It is the soul.
