Neither religion or science can give us the truth because they look at the physical things that will burn up soon. The thoughts that give us life is the truth but no one can see thoughts. The physical things on this earth deceives our thoughts so we can't understand the truth unless it's given to us. A few have received this truth and our eyes were opened to this deception in the world. It won't be long before it's all destroyed but the next bodies we use to experience our thoughts won't be a problem. In fact, we'll never see death again.
