More thoughts on the religion of "science"
I can certainly relate to the conversations that faithful devotees of Dea have had with their acquaintances, friends and relations who are faithless secular scientists. I have been a part of similar conversations as well.
Yes, I too find it very strange when I encounter people who find comfort in a world view without a Comforter. And in my experience, there is nothing one can say to someone who insists on following this theoretical perspective. I also do not feel inclined to share my precious faith in Dea with those who would have no appreciation for such a personal relationship with the Divine.
It is best, I find, simply to be kind to these people and extend to them the Love of Dea that they seem to think they do not need.

What I would like to question in general, is the idea that there is a thing called science that has certain concepts and conclusions. That is a popular belief in Telluria, but is it really true? Science is not one thing it is a collection of different things that all have a certain thing in common (that they restrict themselves to material phenomena and use the experimental method).
When Tellurians talk about science and say that it says this or denies that - they are treating it like a kind of Church with truths and doctrines. That may be what they want and even need - but it isnt what science is.
To say, for example science denies God makes no more sense than saying pottery denies God or "cookery denies God"..
