Is it better to be devoutly religious or devoutly scientific?

I made my point that science and spirituality are useful for different things.

You responded by being patronising.

Also what is the purpose of saying, "...the issue is "far reaching"? Isn't that kind of stating the obvious?

Here's my take on the science part of the equation. (BTW I am not anti-science by any means).

Science has its limits. It seems people are always equating science with rationality, yet what is beyond science is not necessarily irrational.

For example, science cannot tell us if a work of literature, art or music are good, bad or beautiful. Science CAN tell us if you put a certain amount of cyanide into your spouses coffee it will kill them. But science cannot tell us if it's morally right to do so.

Science cannot answer even the basic questions of a child: Who am I? What is the meaning and purpose of my existence? What is consciousness?
