quite possibly, one day, science and religion will intertwine. and we will realize that amongst the great debate, we were looking at the same thing

Religion is based on making shit up in your head and telling people it's a fact.
The scientific method didn't come from some guy throwing a cup full of bones on the ground and telling you that you need to give him 3 goats and a sack full of pubic hairs for your wife to get pregnant on the next full moon.*
It did come from people challenging what was known as "the truth", passed down in religion. Why did it take the Church something like 400 years to finally admit that the sun did not rotate around the earth?
Also, due to the Church, science was completely fucked for hundreds and hundreds of years. Superstition has plagued, and STILL plagues mankind. There are people on earth right now who live in fear everyday that devils and angels are watching their every move! Can you imagine living your life believing that the devil gave you a cold? That an angel kept you safe when your tired popped on the highway?
