Science and religion are miles apart.
Religion claims prophesy, via God, which is always open to wide non specific interpretation and I imagine could never be seen as wrong by a theist ....
whereas science makes testable predictions and failure of any prediction causes the scientific model (scientific theory) to be rejected and it will then be acknowledged by the entire scientific community to be a failure.
Imagine that...just one mistake causes the model to be rejected..only one mistake and the thing is thrown out...mmm maybe not entirely in the case of Newtonian Gravity but that turns on the thing still works well for almost all applications ...religion is nothing like that......it is a crazy thing to even suggest and totally indicative that anyone saying such has no idea about either religion or science.
Religion is a pretend game where any discovery of a mistake or demonstration that what was written was wrong sees no change in dogma.
Consider the slavery issue...rather than some simply saying "sure slavery is wrong and it is wrong that its approval is in the bible" we get " oh it wasnt really slavery it was like indentured service".... but no acceptance that its a mistake to include that crap in the good book.
That attitude of trying to explain slavery as actually being ok is just wrong..wrong wrong and yet I have never heard one christian say so...not one...and such is the blind subserviance christians pay to made up stories from the bronze age.
There is in effect one body of science (which we call mainstream) whereas you can find religion in any flavour you fancy.
Given the lack of support to all God claims it is not unexpected there are multiple approaches...
That does not happen in science.
Those interested in science can enjoy speculation without deciding their speculation is reality whereas the God stories are unfounded speculations that once in the system become theists facts.
I can not see how theists dont understand their beliefs can never be science.
Their wishful thinking blinds their critical thinking.
Religion for many groups is an excuse to play dress up and practise meaningless rituals...how sickening the idea behind the bread (waffer) and the wine thing...
Science is not religion but more importanly religion is not science in any way shape or form and it is just silly to say such a thing.
