How about introducing a category....Science and Spirituality?

Are you proposing a merger?

Because if so I'm all for it! I can't possibly see how combining R&S with Science could backfire! There's no chance at all it'll become a swirling maelstrom of internet hate, right? Of course not.

No ooo oooo!

Do you really want all the 2012 nutters invading this place?

We have our own nutters here and it's linked to the clash between science and religious faith - a merger would just encourage other ones that we could well do without!

I say its fine as it is, as the current level of science question here are directly related to religious viewpoints, so it's the right place.

Dealing with religious pseudo-science is quite enough thanks!

Science is everything and spirituality doesn't make any sense is just lack of understanding in terms of fact and mathematics.

I see what you did there - science IS fast becoming a religion, especially for those who know very little about it. Real scientists know the limits of science only too well.

Good question.

Those two things are pretty much polar opposites. That is why the YA staff has them as separate categories.

It shall be interesting; questions on science shall be answered spiritually. e.g. e=mc^2 shall be defined as per holy book. good.

Yes, so we can hear nonsense from spiritual individuals about science?

Jog on.

May be

How about religion and pseudo-science.

The way some fundies go on about evolution and the big bang, it feels as if I am on the wrong board.

cool.... there will be interesting debate between science and spirituality
