Scientific knowledge versus spiritual knowledge

[ChrisjanW]

In science, if you liken a theory or argument to a chain, to fuck up that theory, you only need to break a single link.

In religion it seems, breaking every link is not convincing to some/most/all believers. 'Predicting' how old the universe is and how it formed would be a make or break thing, all religions get it wrong and yet belief persists. We have Christian scripture promising belief is all it takes to move mountains, heal the sick, and to neutralize serpent venom and poison. So where are all these moved mountains hiding ?

You get religious apologist making all manner of logical fallacies in defending their faiths to the extent it is embarrassing and headache inducing to read their explanations. And belief persists.

Guess it is still very much a numbers game where (since we live in a world of reality by consensus ) the believers of proven/factual knowledege are still outnumbered by the believers of learnt/adopted/untestable knowledge.

In other words, you won't see those mountains unless you believe ;-)
