(Spoiler: the mysteries are the old reliables, existence and life.)
Too often discussions of science or religion or both degenerate into
"Is so";
"Is not";
"Is so";
"Is not";
"Is";
"Isn't"...
modes of discussion. I have no hope of ending that, but I thought these notes might be useful for those who view these discussions from a little distance and get a feeling that the arguments are not about the reality of religion or of science. (At least it offers support for the view that no, these discussions are not getting down to the basic issues.)
