I really enjoy how you thoroughly summarized the videos that we watched. You
put them in a very clear, succinct way. Dr. Worthington's talk was very interesting
to listen to, and brought up many good points, but remained largely scientific. Like
you stated, I like how he described the injustice gap, as this isn't commonly
discussed in daily life. I feel like this is an important component to consider when
we look to forgive someone or for someone to forgive us. They way he remained
largely scientific, and when he did mention God or the Bible he kept them very
distinct, is reflective of the LOE approach. How do you see yourself integrating
religion and science in your occupation, or in your future endeavors with others?
While after watching these videos I feel like I value the LOE approach more than I
did before, but I still feel a multi-faceted approach/integration is more beneficial
overall.
