this is beautiful
For the record, I dispute both of these models. The “Science” diagram on the left takes its worldview from a positivistic stance — that we can observe and therefore “know” our world. While there is some truth in that idea, I do not subscribe to the notion that the full range of the human experience can be explained solely through inductive reasoning. The “Faith” diagram on the right ignores how religious interpretation changes over time and in different cultures. Galileo’s idea of the sun being at the center of the universe was at first vehemently resisted, but over time religion accepted the concept (and others that later showed the sun is not the center of the universe) and integrated it into their worldview. While the diagrams are amusing (or offensive, depending upon your point of view), both diagrams greatly oversimplify the worldviews that they represent.
