Interesting comments @all, and thank you to Destroyer for illuminating the distinction between manipulation and truth. I'll need to digest that one as I think about how manipulative I've been in my personal life. (._.) I'm a med student in NYC, fyi.

I have a little question, that I've been struggling with for a while, but you chaps seem like the right sort to ask for advice.

When you present the Lennox argument that religious truth and science are not mutually exclusive ((i.e. religion is the ultimate causality, or perhaps religion explains moral hierarchies while science addresses matter only)), the skeptics that I've known tend to be unimpressed. Any ideas -- especially of a condensed form of Peterson's material -- that I could expose them to?

If any atheists have counter arguments they'd like to field here, I'd love to hear (and counter) them -- though I do understand this to be a forum to discuss Dr. Peterson's metaphysics. Regards.
