    POPS    Prof Coyne's dismantling of religion ...

     Give the full essay a read ... Science and faith are NOT compatible -- not matter how much a person wants to make them coexist in "the same brain" ... as Coyne says requires that with one part of your brain you accept only those things that are tested and supported by agreed-upon evidence, logic, and reason, while with the other part of your brain you accept things that are unsupportable or even falsified.
