When is knowledge more than mere facts? When it's taken for truth and lived. The war between science and religion is only real for people who believe that science precludes a religious outlook, and vice versa. Science is about pattern recognition from observation. Religion is about living life from revealed or derived wisdom. Religion can be informed by science if it accepts science as part of wisdom. Science has obvious limitations to only what can be observed and explained or duplicated, and it can't get outside that box. But if you take a fact and intend to spend your limited life pursuing it, it should be real. It should be the truth. You shouldn't be wasting your life working from faulty assumptions, because as far as we can observe (pace Hinduism), this one life is our only chance to do some damage. Are there major differences in the life you live if you have a different set of facts? Do you have to decide? I would say yes for myself. But apathy like that of the editorialist will kill any amount of wisdom.
