Week 4 Response

I have been doing the reading for this week and I don't really know what to think of it.  The author keeps talking about how Darwin's ideas will bring us to some incredible conclusions and this frustrates me for two reasons. I'm a little skeptical about the existence of these conclusions and I wish he would just tell us already. 

As for the discussion on religion and science, I do think they are different, but I also don't think it is necessary to choose one or the other.  My feelings are basically the same as they were on science and the humanities. I maintain that there are differences, but that doesn't mean there aren't also similarities and that one can't enjoy both science and humanities classes.  I'm not sure why people think that science requires giving up other parts of one's life. Why are people encouraged to choose between science and the humanities, or science and religion?  I believe that science does overlap with other parts of life and I don't see why so many people believe that science can't overlap with other parts of life.
