ABSTRACT
Philosophical or natural theology is a venerable undertaking, beginning among the ancient Greeks, as illustrated in the dialogue The Laws by Plato and in the Metaphysics by Aristotle. To illustrate, in modern times, according to Samuel Beckett in his play Waiting for Godot, everyone is waiting for God to show up so that God can give us instructions about what to do. When considering the relationship of science and religion, there are four possible positions: Science can increase while religion decreases, Science can decrease while religion increases, Both science and religion can decrease, and Both science and religion can increase. One of the most current pseudo-arguments against the existence of God is cultural relativism. As a consequence, if the cultural relativism doctrine were true, one could never know that it is true. It would be forever trapped within the cocoon of social conditioning, unable to view ourselves in relationship to anything else.
