Religion has answered everything but demands that no one can question it. Also it never admits to not knowing something. At least with science it actually admits to not knowing something and never jumps to conclusions based on personal beliefs. Religion was wrong about burning women at stakes because lightning kept striking churches. They knew NOTHING about lightning. Religion was wrong about the planet being round and the centre of everything. Religion knew NOTHING about that too.
So here comes the quote - "Religion knows as much as the population does".
Religion tells you what to believe. Science tells you what it's found.
Religion doesn't know much of anything when it comes to science. In fact, throughout history religion has been an impediment to scientific advancement. Just ask Galileo. What's really criminal is that it took the Catholic Church nearly 360 years to officially clear Galileo's name!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
