there is nothing that makes bridges intrinsically better than doors. i know "building bridges" sounds more hippy dippy, but each has its proper function, and doors for what they do.

science and religion might meet in philosophy or cosmology, but not invading each other's provinces. that's how you end up with bad science and crazier-than-usual religion.

i like a good door. it keeps things separated like they sometimes should. for example, in a house: the kitchen and the crapper-- definitely a door. you don't want a bridge from the turdpot to the frying pan. or the inside and outside of a fridge--- you don't want to cool the whole state of california. etc.

doors are good for you!

there's also drawbridges-- those are cool too.
