Science
There was a time where science was non existant. Wild ideas were thrown around because it was all man had to rely on. There was a time when people didn't even know what the sun was... just that it was always there. There were times when man thought the world was flat, that we'd never fly.... and never even imagine we'd travel out into the black void of space.
Science has done a huge amount for mankind. It ranges from things like curing diseases to creating new animals from basic dna, (such as Dolly the sheep).
We witnessed the comets explosion on Jupiter from up close thanks to science, we can fly thanks to science, diseases such as smallpox have been eradicated completely thanks to science.
Women who can't give birth to children can now give birth to children thanks to science.
We can talk to friends and family on the other side of the world instantly thanks to science... Nowadays we can even see people on the other side of the world thanks to science.
Faulty human organs can be replaced, chopped off ears can be replaced- even hearts can be replaced. People without limbs can have new prosthetic limbs given to them.
Science has even given us pills to give you a stiffy if you can't manage it naturally!
Thanks to science we can now tell exactly when a volcano will errupt, an earthquake will start... we can tell when comets will return and solar eclipses will happen down to the exact minute.
Thanks to science we all have heat and light in our homes constantly.
Thanks to science rapists and murderers etc can be found through a single strand of hair, single fingerprint, single sample of dna.
Cloning has now begun and is progressing as we speak. Although that has its moral implications look at starving people and how food could be 'made' for them.
Thanks to science we can see even the smallest of lifeforms, know all about atoms, particles, neutrons and so on.
We can keep our food frozen to prevent rotting, can heat it up within minutes, can light instant fires...
We can create pictures, or videos of our loved ones to keep for the rest of our lives. Science has in essence given us the ability to freeze a moment forever and take it with us.
Science has given us everything. What i've put here are but the very basics of what science has accomplished..
Religion
Religion has been around for as long as we know. It has changed many many times. It is different depending on culture, upbringing, personal 'faith'. Each of these- from the oldest to the most modern believe they are right in their belief and the others are mistaken.
How many christians believe in the viking belief and Valhalla or vice versa?
The very principle of religion is to promote self righteous attitude. They will not state they're wrong, instead just assume the countless other beliefs are.
This attitude has created wars, death, destruction, arguments and so on from the beginning of time right up until present day.
It promotes a high mighty happy feeling for an individual but that is the main difference between science and religion. Science benefits all mankind- religion just benefits the individual in need. Religion then offers up it's most sincerest 'bad feeling' to anyone else who does not live according to their faith. They promote lack of human worth- passing it all over to god, they promote lack of accepting and understanding your own faults- you have a dead scapegoat to pass it all over to. They feel the need to ring on peoples doors, to pass out leaflets and magazines to spread their word to anyone regardless of whether they want to listen or not.
This is Science vs religion. Science has proven itself continually throughout history. Religion has stayed still and identical- just passing the self righteous attitude on from person to person.
Science progresses, science produces answers and results. Religion does not. It provides a 'quick fix' for those in need. It does not, and has failed since the dawn of mankind to produce anything of substance.
Doesn't mean it's wrong- just it should take a leaf out of the book of science. Perhaps then religion and belief in god can progress aswell.
