In the vortex we do some serious philosophical heavy lifting and we have fun doing it.

Listen Question Friday, Tragula attempts to answer two listener questions, one on the difference between the material and the spiritual. The second question on the relationship between science and religion.

2 Regarding the "science can't explain how the lightning is called" notion. This is about storytelling. Can you explain how to kill a vampire? Can you do it with science? Science isn't everything. People are not really denying science, they're upset about their mythology being attacked. You'd be upset if someone said LOTR wasn't scientifically valid & needed to be removed.
