		<description><![CDATA[Religion is often pitted against science (sometimes against Science), as though it&#8217;s synonymous with atheism. Scientific arguments against the Divine were never compelling to me, since it seemed like they were combining unrelated concepts: if something on a metaphysical does or does not exist, appealing to the physical means nothing. But the lines are drawn: [...]]]></description>
