Afterthoughts on Seminar
The main distinction, in my opinion, between science and religion is that science is a method to find answers while religion provides the answer. That said, let me give an example. When people turn to their faith to explain death and possibly afterlife, they do not really seek to question the explanation that is given to them. Some people can question, can have doubts and try to find an alternative answer. But in the end, the purpose of religion is to answer the inexplicable, to seek answers without having "doubts" or "questions" as the main or principal purpose. Religion gives the answer. On the other hand, science is a method to find truths. People use science as a pathway to find evidences supporting different beliefs.
