LOVE IT HAHAHA
 
What are the five categories?

Don't ask me to see the clip, just summarize.

A summary should have been provided, but your response is rather silly.
 
I am sure you could take 2 minutes out of your day to view it ;)
 
Oh my..... I was hoping it was satire but alas the ending showed it was not.

What a sorry state to be in - knowledge at your fingertips, yet the arrogance to shun it.

Whatever dude.
 
I'm thinking that if you understand the message, you should be able to summarize it. If not, then it would be pointless to discuss it.

Debating by linking videos is not very productive.
 
I can't watch the video from work so I don't even know what the content is. Can anyone tell me what the 5 Categories are?

Sorry John. Though, I'm not quite sure what there is to talk about.

The video suggests religion and science are compatible.

Yes sir :)

I just thought there was some people here that subscribed to NOMA (religion and science do not overlap)

I'm not sure we have many NOMA takers here.

I believe that they can both, peacefully, co-exist.

NOMA stands for Non-Overlapping MAgisteria. It is a concept popularized by the late Stephen Jay Gould. He suggested religion and science can co-exist because they answer fundamentally different questions within fundamentally different fields that do not overlap. If I recall correctly religion deals with moral questions and science with questions regarding the natural world.

This idea is different from what many Christians believe. Many Christians believe science and religion are compatible with one another. That is, when the Christian faith, or rather elements of the Christian faith, make claims about the natural world (e.g., six-day Creation, a worldwide flood, etc.) that both science and religion will lead us to the same answers or closely related answers.
 
I have cleaned up this thread by removing all posts NOT related to the OP. Be aware that all other unrelated posts will be deleted
 
Gould's essay on NOMA suggests that he thinks science and religion are perfectly compatible. He recognizes that science can't say anything about religion, and seems skeptical that religion can say much about science.

That their area of knowledge overlaps little at all, does not mean that they are incompatible.

Are you sure? It has been a while since my reading of "Rock of Ages," but I don't recall him saying they were compatible. Rather, they were simply "not incompatible." And his definition of religion, if I recall correctly, dealt solely with the domain of morality -- at least, ideally. Though, as I noted, it has been sometime since I have read the work.
