7. Talk about trying to have it both ways!

Consequently religion overreaches, intruding on scientific methodology and insisting on its conformity to religion's doctrines.

...

For religion, skepticism at least means weighing and often rejecting religion's mean side of conformity and persecution and its manipulative side of over-claiming and deception.

...

On the "wonder" side there is even more. It begins with a shared humility that belongs to science and religion. Both affirm there is so much we do not grasp about our world, about human life and its formation, about its development and outcome.
