This evening was an interesting discussion of the relationships between Science and Religion – two areas that usually contrast each other. As I don’t really have much thoughts about religion nor the way it works, the conversation was hard to follow at times, but it was interesting nonetheless.

I liked the idea that interactions between two “things” define their identities, rather than the usual approach that each “thing” has their own identity which affects their corresponding interactions. This approach could be vital in helping us understand fundamental interactions of biological, physical and chemistry systems. By dissociating their identities from current knowledge, it allows us to study and understand them in a different perspectives – for instance, quantum mechanics to understand the mechanical model of the atom in which classical physics fails to.
