Science and religion, do they have to be in opposition or can they co-exist?
Let the discussion begin.

Yes. Science sustains itself in a way in which faith is not needed. One of its basis is that "Everything may be proven false anytime anywhere". If a better explanation is found, the previus one becomes obsolete.Is a science without faith possible?
Those who created or represent it.Who sets boundaries of faith?
Nowadays, science has it's limits set by:And who sets limits to science?
I'd distinguish between 2 concepts. Inner morals and public morals. Everybody has its own compass determined by certain variables and civilized humanity decides the public one.Is morality a matter of faith?
In Plato's "Analogy of the divided line", which precedes the "Analogy of the Sun" in the Politeia, the necessary elements of human knowledge are enumerated.Yes. Science sustains itself in a way in which faith is not needed. One of its basis is that "Everything may be proven false anytime anywhere". If a better explanation is found, the previus one becomes obsolete.
Great response!Those who created or represent it.
Both are correct, but in different senses.Btw: what is the correct translation into english: "Large Hadron Collider" or "particle accelerator"?
In this case, Science would fulfill by itself the Idea of Context. Sensory impressions would be linked to the technology, that limits science. Us humans have a limit to our senses: we are deaf to low frequency/high frequency sounds, our sight is limited even if its one of the best in the animal world (a good jack of all trades)...In the first place is the sensual impression, of something that falls into our eyes, reaches our ear or touches our skin. In order to be able to place this physical impression in a context with other sensory stimuli, one needs, secondly, an idea of the context in which these impressions are in relation to each other and to the person in question.
Plato calls this summarizing idea faith, using the same term (pistis) he uses when he speaks of faith in the gods.
