Science and religion
Article Abstract:
Brian Josephson has supported scientific analysis of religion to understand the concept of 'faith.' Almost all religions aim at attaining salvation instead of epitomizing goodness. Religious practices teach their followers the physical reality of this world, and human goodness is only a way to achieve this knowledge. The scientific analysis of physical reality enhances the understanding of the phenomenological experiences pertaining to religious belief.
