Re: Ultimate Questions vs Scientific Questions
[ QUOTE ]
Some religions teach that there are ultimate questions that are not concerned with science such as "why are we here" and "what is the meaning of life," etc.
It seems to me that this is nonsense and that all questions should be investigated scientifically. If they cannot be answered scientifically it does not mean that they are ultimately unanswerable or concerned with the supernatural.
amirite?

Mostly, yes.
It is the function of mythology to use the science of today to penetrate to the mystery.
Unfortunately, religion does the exact opposite. It is anti-science and anti-knowledge AND it does not penetrate to the mystery, infact, it attempts to move us away from the mystery.
I suggest: Joseph Campbell - The Hero's Journey.
