[Gilgamesh]

Science is the result of experiments that can be validated and repeated to give the same results. It is collecting the facts and explaining them through theories that work the same every time they are put into practice. Science never stops, you never say about a science book that it is the best book ever published and the best to ever be.

Religion is the art of articulating superstition into something semi-coherent. It is guesswork done by unenlightened people who lived thousands of year ago in tents. It is man's failed attempt to understand the world around him. A menace to humanity, an opium to the people and the gravest danger our planet faces.

A simple fact tells u ya JUSTIN why you should trust science even if you don't have enough time to examine every single theory. In scientific discourse, when a scientist finds a theory he is always opposed by other scientists of the same domain. Only until he is able to present enough evidence that they all, to their dismay, have to accept that his theory is true.

It is unfair to compare them, and yes they are at war and they always will be because one is the art of using the faculty of reason and the other is ,through faith, the art of putting that faculty into complete idleness. So JUSTIN, before you compare them somehow, remember that your children,because of science, will know better about the nature of the cosmos, human bodies, and everything around us than the writers of the bible or quraan. Augustine, the biggest theologian in the history of Christianity, thought that sickness is the result of demons and the presence of Jews in Europe. I bet you would prefer a doctor today than someone who believes what Augustine said.

Religious people had it both ways, they benefit from the achievements of science while denying its importance. Hypocrisy, a very important aspect of the life of religious ppl. Belief in belief.

May scientists, the real prophets of reason, continue their blessed work and may we see a day where ppl throw away their superstition and know that religion is as valid as horoscopes.

Amen.....and Awomen
