      No, not at all. These two aspects of human thinking have very little to do with each other, so there’s no need for one or the other to feel beaten down.

      Is Music beaten down by Sculpture?

      Hi Ron
      I have to agree with Ian, I have not seen any evidence of this. I think there is room for both in this huge world of ours.

      Interesting question Ron! I agree with the other two; I don’t think science is being beaten down by religion. Science has helped to explain some religious beliefs and can work in harmony with others, so I don’t see why they shouldn’t continue to do so.

      New Scientist magazine had a special on Science and religion which you can read here – http://www.newscientist.com/special/god – if you want to find out more
