I really liked that seminar, even though in my group it turned into a debate about how to serve God, and more than half the group only talked about one quote, about science being unable to disprove religion- and they didn't acknowledge the preceding section, which explained that this is because science and religion are not by definition two things which can be placed opposite eachother, but instead used it as proof that religion is older and explains things that science can't.
