True and I would hope scientists keep exploring the universe as through this exploration we grow in understanding but far than being a dead end , real religion goes further than science and asks is there anything beyond our Cosmos and just as science needs to develop new tools and maths to explore further. The exploration of beyond the cosmos needs a different set of tools than our right sided brain offers.
But religion also gives you answers and then expects you to believe them on pain of eternal damnation.
