In analyzing the dialogue between science and religion, the author finds that it is hampered
by three semantic problems. The first denies, or at least undervalues, the two modes of
knowing most apropos to religion: the emotional and the intuitive/mystical modes. Secondly, the uncritical use of language causes considerable confusion. The third problem
limits discussion to what Stephan Schwartz has called the \"Grand Material Paradigm.\" As
the conclusion of the essay, a precis of an alternate cosmology is presented.
