Abstract
'Why do we trust science? It gives us n illusion of mastery over the physical world, but it is often
provisional and tentative in its theories (as when confronted as now with a new virus). In both science
and religion we ultimately face a reality we cannot fully comprehend. Yet that does not mean that we
should collapse into scepticism or nihilism. Science, though cannot set itself up as uniquely rational,
in distinction from the 'irrationality' of religious faith. '
