@Metamagician I think I'd want to argue that ideas, philosophies, methods, etc., can be in conflict (depends on meaning of "conflict", obv!)

@PhilosophyExp methods MIGHT have produced complementary or mutually reinforcing results. But of course, it didn't turn out that way! /3

@Metamagician that their "results" were consistent with each other. But yes, it is a semantic point. :)

@PhilosophyExp that their methods were complementary. Part of the prob is that religion was not really using such methods - so it seems! /3

@Metamagician Sorry, bit hopeless coz of twitter limitation. Good to see you arguing "accommodationist" postion, though. ;)

@PhilosophyExp In some other logically possible world, science might have confirmed some religion or other as probably the true one.

@Metamagician Ibn Sina were attacked (it's the threat, the recognition that if push came to shove, a choice would need to be made, etc). 3/

@PhilosophyExp Sure - different methods, hence potential for different results. But again, what if we had 400 years of science confirming /1
