How do philosophy, religion, and science help us understand what life is?
Part II of II
...Religion: Life is eternal. We cannot ask religion to relinquish this position. To do so would be asking religion to annihilate itself. Philosophy has no option but to include this aspect within its unified view if it is to be truly unifying.
Science: The universe exists. We cannot ask science to relinquish this position. To do so would be asking science to annihilate itself. Philosophy has no option but to include this aspect within its unified view if it is to be truly unifying.
Philosophy: Most religions sense something greater than the universe.
Science is seeking the boundary of our universe. As such, philosophy must now begin to study Reality.
Philosophy has little choice but to begin building a model depicting reality within a greater Reality. It appears that reality, our universe, is a part of something other than itself or life most probably could not be eternal.
Life is in reality, which is in Reality. Until we understand the model and its dynamics, we will remain in a state of confusion.
