We met to discuss the philosophy of religion.  This was a wide ranging discussion, starting from the possibility of the argument from design for the Cosmos.  If the universe did not somehow condense out of the big bang - the laws of nature and physical constants as well as matter and energy, Then design and the multiverse provide alternative theories - though note these are not falsifiable.  We moved on through René van Woudenberg, Professor of Philosophy at the Free University Amsterdam, on the limits of science - see 
Scientism and the limits of science | Faraday.  Noting that science provides only a provisional theory - not yet disproven, we can still validate scientific “knowledge” trough the practical applications we know.  It is not good to argue that religion provides answers where science does not - as yet!  Smartphones do now acquire knowledge through acquaintance - as in facial recognition.  And science can inform ethical decisions with explanations of behaviour through economics, psychology and the social sciences.  But religion “Binds together”communities.  It should at best provide a gold standard for virtue in the community, but religious institutions seem to be as corruptible by power as any others.  And what is “God" at the core of religion?
