Yet more on truth and reality

My friend Jeremy, a biologist and proteome man, writes off list wrt Schönborn

Reality and truth. One of the things that struck me when I was taking a course at EDS is how core values and the words we use to refer to them have different valences in science and theology. For one community, reality means precisely that which we can measure, see and experience for the other it is precisely that which transcends experience and can not be measured and only hinted at. For the one truth derives from our investigation. For the other truth precedes and frames any discovery. These inversions almost make the words homophonic antonyms rather than a shared Rosetta stone.
