quick question how is science not a form of religion?

Quick answer, for the same reason the smell of my farts aren't a religion.

Long answer, because science is a method of enqiring about the universe usin evidence to postulate theories and improving or discarding them as more or better evidence comes along (eg General Relativity replacing Newton's inverse square law to explain how gravity works). Religion is a method of convincing people that unevidenced assertions about the world are an unchangeable and immutable truth even when the evidence proves the assertions wrong (eg genesis and creatardism in general), and then using that brainwashing to exert power over the poor gullibles you've fooled.

very good... now that you got your knee jerk response out of the way. Now try and answer/account for the defination of "religion" I provided in that very same post you responded to, that would other wise encapsulate the works or dedication to 'science' as being a religious effort.
