Christianity; The World's most vile religion

[Belacqua]

Ultimately do you care more about the belief (religion), or more about whether that belief is true (science).

Probably instead of "true," in the above sentence, it would be more accurate to say "supported by empirical evidence and the current consensus of authorities." Because unfortunately what scientists tell us many times turns out to be wrong. 

So it's not wise to assume that something is true because it's science. As you know, the proper method in science demands that we make no such assumption.

No doubt you've read about the replication crisis in scientific journals now. There seem to be several reasons for this. First, research funded by for-profit corporations often expects that the researcher will get certain results, which introduces serious bias into the findings. Second, for-profit scientific journals and research done by university scientists who want to further their careers will often lean in a particular direction, also introducing bias.

For example, Denis Noble, who for many years taught and researched biology at Oxford University (where he supervised Richard Dawkins' PhD research), says that certain assumptions made these days about how evolution works should be seriously questioned. He and other specialists in the field say there is sufficient evidence to throw doubt on what used to be the main consensus. However, he said that as a research scientist he knew he would not get funding if he proposed a project to test the new theories. Despite the new ideas being completely scientific and grounded in objective investigation, the prejudice in favor of current models dictated where the money would go. This I think should be worrying to anyone who cares about objective research. 

Also you are begging the question about whether religious people care about truth. Of course they want to believe what is true. They just reach their conclusions in ways that you don't approve of.
