Physicist Marcelo Gleiser briefly surveys several perspectives about religious belief and scientific belief: “When discussing the relationship between science and religion, people often take a polarized position: It’s either ‘I believe’ or ‘I don’t believe.’ The fact is that religion and science do overlap in people’s minds, in their life choices, in the difficult moral challenges society faces. To strictly deny the power of religion in the world, with billions following a diversity of faiths, is also terribly naïve.” Students can use this overview as discussion starter on the nature of belief and what the OT and NT say about pistos.
