In that sentence you seem to be indicating that religion somehow does know. The problem lies in the fact that religion may claim to "know" a lot of things but has no basis of evidence for it. If religion would say "This is how it's done" and it is testable therefore falsifiable, then scientists would certainly be interested. But so far all religion has done is make assertions and proclaim them as knowledge.
