The argument against religion here seems to hinge upon pure science. Well, guess what, folks. Science isn't any more pure than religion. Yes, the best scientests don't test for a certain conclusion or desired effect; but that is not always true. Just like there are Christians and Jews and etc., etc. who fall short of their religion's goals, there are scientest that do the same. Scientists argue over the meaning of findings as well as their implications. They look for specific answers to certain questions. Science has it's fallibilities and unanswered questions just as religions do. Neither is perfect; therefore, I believe, any point of view that hinges out the flaws of one and does not address the flaws of the other is lacking.


the argument isn't based on science but on common sense and observation.
Scientists can be proven wrong and then move on and redevelop their theories.
Religion can not. Religion is set in stone (the Bible) and is seen as true and unalterable.

Science is being used here more as a comparision to modern thought versus ancient thought.

Bow ties are coool.
