140803 - Tried today developing a concept of religion as a technology for
140804 - explaining mysteries of life, and developing guidelines for living in
140805 - successful communities, i.e., helping people collaborate by taking
140806 - complimentary, rather than conflicting action.   This makes...

140814 - The Bible largely explains how people relate in order to sustain
140815 - community, which is the aim of communication.  A key mystery of life
140816 - is the soul.  What is the place of man in the universe and what
140817 - happens to the soul after death.  Today, we call the search for the
140818 - answers to life's mysteries "science" so that religion can be said to
140819 - be an early "life science."

140822 -     religion in relation to science and technology, which impacts
140823 -     national security. ref SDS 42 M39M

140825 - Over the past 2000 years technology in tool making, e.g., alphabet
140826 - technology, telephones, forks, and organizing communities, e.g., a
140827 - company, team, division, agency, city, project, have enabled science
140828 - to better understand communication and our place in the universe. Over
140829 - the centuries, as experience using tools has increased adding new
140830 - knowledge, new terminonlogy like gravity, relativity and quarks have
140831 - provided a deeper understanding of astronomy, physics and other
140832 - aspects of physical existence. ref OF 1 42FF

140834 - Another new field that science has attempted to examine more closely
140835 - is the workings of the human mind.  In religion this is called the
140836 - soul.  In Cognitive Science it is called variously cognition,
140837 - consciousness, sentience, awareness, intelligence.  The term
140838 - consciousness and subconscious have emerged to divide soul into more
140839 - catagories. ref OF 1 42HC
