Fantastic work ,well done to all involved. All of Mr Spratts pieces on Nkindle TV ARE VERY POWERFUL teaching tools.
Science without religion leads to materialism and destruction and religion without science leads to fanaticism and superstition.

Terry, I just now 'discovered' you. Wonderful!
However, there is one element in your science/religion discourse that raises questions. It regards your usage of the term 'intellect', as opposed to the mind, which has another level of definition. The Baha'i Writings suggest (according to my present understanding) that the mind--an essential quality of the human spirit--only employs the brain and its 'logical' functions. The intellect is also limited by genetic and other factors.

Harmony of religion and science is attractive but how can it be a reality. Religion is dispensation of answers without question and science is all questions that should be researched to find the answer. But there are examples that Bahai teachings at times deviate from science:
Copper transmute into gold after 70 years, Baha u llah, Ighan, p 157
Both convex and concave mirrors focus light in a real point that generates great heat , Eshragh Khavari, Ayyam tis a p 324
The Earth's age is several thousand years, Gleaning from writings of Baha U llah, p 163
Some creatures are created by spontaneous generation, Abdul Baha, Makatib, Egypt Vol 2 p 24
Abdul Baha in his 1912 speech in Stanford university stated that Darwin's theory of evolution is false and the missing link will never be discovered. But in 1954 the missing link was found in South Africa. Also the profound interest in number 9 and 19. is due to Abjad numbers assigned to (Khoda or God in Persian) totals 9 Because of that, the calendar consists of 19 months and each months 19 days. Belief in nine religions also stems from the holiness of number nine, without scientific root. Otherwise there are many more religions in the Earth .
