A A> last time I checked, no science text book or bunsen burner told you how to d Early reglion was considered science, and supreme, to go against it was to be a heretic. (Galieo for example). but since then yes religion has changed a bit to go with the spritual side, BUT what gets me is that religion has the ignorance and cockyness to explain things like science does however with no FACT to base it on. SUch as death, science says "We haven't a fucking clue" but religion has all the answers, but there is no fact, you can't prove it until you've died yourself, can't go by 'near death experiences' because if they knew what happened when you died they can't tell you because their dead.
But i do agree with the morals and ethics (some of them) that it does provide, but in a way I really just have to say with religious people "Grow up".
