The Power of Language in Religion and Science

Posted on | by Kelvin

 

“Write about what you and two other students in our class said about how language works in religion and science. Use all of your essays and the essays of these two other students. Also use all the texts assigned in class.

In this essay, I’d like to hear clearly from you how you understand how language works in religion and science. Of course, you don’t have to cover the whole subject. Rather, pick aspects of religion and science that are important to you, and write about those aspects, saying how other students in this class understood those aspects. In instances where you may have disputed claims made in class, do engage those instances. You may be in position to distinguish what religion means to you as contrasted with what it meant to other class members. Do the same thing for science. What does the language of science say to you, as distinguished from what it said to others who read the same works, were present at the same discussions, and wrote essays similar to those you wrote. An important thing to remember is that one of our principal emphases was that the language found in religion and science was a central focus in this course. (Your previous tries at this essay did not recognize this emphasis.)
