Both science and religion are human endeavours that recruit and modify pre-existing human capacity to engage in epistemic vigilance. However, while science relies upon a focus on content vigilance, religion focusses on source vigilance. This difference is due, in turn, to the function of religious claims not being connected to their accuracy – unlike the function of scientific claims. Understanding this difference helps to understand many aspects of scientific and religious institutions.

认识上的警觉与科学/宗教的区别

科学和宗教都是人类的努力,它们招募和修改了人类已有的进行认知警戒的能力。但是,尽管科学依赖于对内容的警惕性,但宗教却注重对来源的警惕性。反过来,这种差异是由于宗教主张的功能与其准确性无关,而与科学主张的功能不同。理解这种差异有助于理解科学和宗教机构的许多方面。
