Is God a logical contradiction?

[Anomalocaris]

When human genius is able to shine in spite of religion, religion would claim credit for human genius shinning.   

No one should make false claims about who is responsible for the shinning. Or the ankling, or the kneeing.

But religion will always avoid admitting its intimate interest in kneecapping.

Such always is religion.

It is equally dishonest to claim that "religion" is always or intrinsically against science. History shows that it isn't. 

Methods and motivations are complicated. To reduce this to black and white is dishonest.

 

 Religion is always opportunistic, and as science progress ever farther beyond the bullshit most easily continence during the bronze age that form the basis of so many religions, the opportunities for these religion will lie ever more in being anti-science, for there will certainly be ever less opportunities they can exploit in being pro-science without being exposed for the fraudulent fabrications they are.

Religion is no more intrinsically anti-science than it is anti anything that reveals or threatens to reveal its foundational fraudulence, or to challenge the validity of the reasons it has become accustomed to using for demanding acceptance of its control over the hearts and minds of the people  and for justifying aggrandizing itself.

It just so happens that science is uniquely and sustainedly good at revealing fraudulence in foundations and invalidity of reasons given.  So it is entirely disingenuous to say old religions is not intrinsically against science.    They are unescapably against science in the long run whatever they had, in their confusion and conceit, been momentarily in the past, because in the long run in science there is only death for old religion.
