    Ian,
     
    I am having trouble with reconciling two of your statements, please explain. (specifically the "two realms" part with the part of the "real world", whatever that is)
     
    Do you think that the biological level is qualitvely different from social which is qualiatively different from social intellectual, etc? In that way there are different "realms" in the world.
    Science is best at describing the inorganic and biological "realms" .
     
    Long ago Matt and DMB were arguing about whether Pirsig should have raised science or kept it down to the lower levels. It is beginning to click what he meant. I know DMB will come argue about how this is all SOM goggles but I think the phrase "real world" is a sign of SOM goggles.
     
    If you recognize science limits then there is no conflict if you don't then there is conflict no?
     
    So please respond (preferbly in the real world)
     
    Erin
     

     I do not buy your suggestion that
    conflict is avoided because there are somehow two realms in the world,
    one where scientific explanations apply and one where "faith-based"
    beliefs apply.

    So IF transubstantiation were seriously suggested as part of the real
    world, science would indeed have something to say about the truth of
    it, explaining it, etc.
